When you're feeling under the weather, what is your favorite comfort food?

Personally, I'm crazy about brussel sprouts with hollandaise sauce.

Something with chocolate...

Not the healthiest, but it has antioxidants, right?

If I'm really sick, all I want is some tomato soup and a grilled cheese.

Wow. I can't imagine eating sweets when I'm ill!
Yes. Beer is food. (IMHO)
When sick? Homemade chicken noodle soup ranks # 1 with me.
Today, with cramps... coffee and yogurt. Eating really light seems to help.

I'm a big fan of the homemade chicken soup, so long as I'm the one to make it... Unfortunately that doesn't happen a lot when I'm sick, don't feel like making stock for hours first...

If I'm just down/bored/moody I like home cooked meal type foods; meatloaf, mac & cheese (too much work, but I'll take the boxed one, add tuna, can of cream mushroom soup, and veggies... and eat the whole thing...)... occasionally I will want sweets, but very rarely - rich chocolate cake perhaps...

I think the sweet craving comes from when I'm under the weather, my taste buds and sinuses are shot. I crave strong sweet things to taste them more I guess. To each his own.

Green Tea is good of course and soothes the throat.

I agree that green tea is wonderful when one is sick but, for general pain, ya can't beat an 88 calorie beer! ;)

Oops...I didn't realize you meant physically sick, lol!

Some nice cold orange juice is usually good when I'm physically ill. If I'm mentally under the weather, then it's usually anything that I know isn't healthy for me from the "nachos, hamburgers, tacos, pizza, pasta" category. Those all sound so good...lol!

Chocolate always makes me happy, whether I'm in need of comfort or not.



But when I'm sick, I don't tend to crave anything.

brownies, with lots of nuts. or peppermint chunks on top. also excellent with toffee and milk chocolate chunks. amazing with peanut butter cups or pieces of snickers.

i am a brownie fanatic.

and macaroni n cheese - my favorite food! oh the possibilities... and i just can't get over how versatile it is. living off easy mac in college wasn't so bad but now i like to experiment with all sorts of other cheeses - swiss, munster, white cheddar and surprisingly... cottage cheese is amazing! paired with swiss, it adds good texture and offsets the really strong sharp cheddar!

Nothing sweet - I am not a sweet tooth...so it'd be something liked grilled cheese...or something like a homemade french onion soup with grilled cheese croutons floating in it mmmmm...
