Geoid Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Since its winter, I have got a cold (or something) and with it a really sore throat, so sore it hurts to swallow. I was wondering if there are any soft/liquid foods I could eat for breakfast (cereal and toast is a bit sharp!) Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Porridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Yoghurt and lots of hot drinks Fred. Tea with lemon and honey. but it does work. Hope you are feeling better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Ready Brek always does it for me,as its so smooth & lovely. That & Heinz Tomato Soup,which is my ultimate comfort food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Heinz Tomato Soup,which is my ultimate comfort food Same here. Him Indoors always asks for Farley's Rusks when he is at death's door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lavenders_Blue Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 How about smoothies for breakfast? Lots of fresh fruit in them to provide cold-fighting vitamins. Porridge would be my other choice, as it is warm and comforting. Soup would definitely be on the menu for lunch (with toast dipped in so it goes all soggy ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Porridge is my choice. The heat seems to do my throat good and it slips down so easily! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Got to be Ice-cream. But just remember if you open a tub you have to eat it all in 24 hour before it goes off. sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Soup and porridge, not together though, sounds like a plan. Having had several rotten bouts of tonsilitis over the years I feel for you. I also used to eat warm sweet Wheatabix. Take paracetamol about half an hour before you want to eat that will help too. If it is a normal sore throat before a cold, then a hot toddy made with hot water a tablespoon of lemon juice and honey and a generous slosh of whiskey helps no end just before bed.

majorbloodnock Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Depends how soft you need to go. Eggy bread works well (slice of soft white bread dipped in a whisked egg so the egg soaks in all over, then lightly fried), but you could always head towards an omelette. If you're after an energy boost, how about some Scotch pancakes or buttermilk pancakes with a bit of butter and some maple syrup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I had some pancakes and maple syrup, went down nicely Smoothie tomorrow I think.... I used to like porridge when I was younger, but not anymore (which is a bit strange) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Scrambled eggs would be good too. Plenty of protein as well,to get you fit again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Fred! You can't have forgotten my special drinky remedy!!!! Hot lemon with honey - lemon cleanses, the honey soothes. Actually the lemon on the pancakes would have been a good idea. Avoid choccy - that makes it worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Snap Fred! I've got it too - plus a coldette ( small cold, don't do normal colds in this house)! I woke up with it this morning. I was out with a lot of people last night, one of which was unwell whilst out. I've had a glass of mulled wine & have lots of logs burning away - as I'm so shivery. Ho hum.
