Makes me a little ill just contemplating it.

[side_show]

My mom served warm flat Sprite as a thing when I was sick.  I have no idea why.

I lived on ginger tea when dealing with unending morning sickness.  It was the only thing that made life manageable.

As for having a cold, I often find my sense of taste is so altered that eating isn't appealing.  Also, I don't like soup and someone here previously recommended Pho with when sick, so I tried that at one point and just about hurled, no doubt being unable to tase was part of the problem, and not liking soup was the other part of the problem, and the amount of mucus flow was likely also a big part of the problem.  Regardless,  I definitely don't like Pho, though I later discovered the same place serves some fine Banh Mi.  So yum.

My mom's sick drink was flat 7Up. I think it was often warm just because leaving it out made it go flat faster

I am a little under the weather, and tonight I am going to a special mystery Korean dinner. My favorite Korean place is going out of business and somehow it got set up that a bunch of my friends and I are going and getting a fancy multi-course meal of all the chef's favorite dishes. Awesome. Not sure if this is feel-better food or if I am in for a night of strange foods that hurt my stomach.

When I have a cold or similar I find a can's worth of cool (not cold) Dr. Pepper with half a lime squeezed in is fantastic.

When I'm ill I crave a coke slurpee to bring down the feverish feels. Or I'll make a grilled cheese sammich (made in a toaster oven, not on the stove) with slices of pepperoni in the middle and some tomato soup. I chop up the toasted cheese sammich into cruton sized chunks and put it in the soup. This saves me the hassle of dunking and means one less plate to clean up. Efficiency, people.

What kind of cheese do you use, this is important. Generally for grilled cheeses I use those gross milk+chemicals "sandwich slices." I know it's an affront to food, but they melt so well in the 2-3 minutes they're on the skillet. For anything else I'd rather actual cheddar.

Anyway, pepperoni with sandwich slices sounds kinda gross, but with like some mozzarella-type could actually be decent.

The key to successful pepperoni inclusion is browning them in the skillet first.  In my experience.

The idea is to avoid the skillet stuff entirely. I'm sick, I want food, and I don't feel like working really hard for it or after it. I can throw this creation together in 5 minutes.
The cheese is chipotle gouda, mozzarella, provolone, or american (in that order of preference).

Made me feel better,.

I sometimes roll a tuna mayo and cucumber futomaki when I'm feeling down. Bahn mi will also cheer me up, but making that is a pain in the ass.

Ginger tea. Actually I also drink it every night when the weather is cold, but cold weather is basically the same as being sick.

Do you add anything like honey and/or lemon?

[wombat]

Nope just straight. Those are good if you have a sore throat though.
