Has anyone a recipe for something soothing to eat?

Question

Please?

Answer 1

I grew up eating rice porridge my grandmother used to make. The Chinese (Cantonese) call it 'jook'.

Answer 2

I make this kind of frozen yogurt when I'm not feeling well. It soothes your throat and is delicious!

You will need:
1 cup of vanilla/plain yogurt
1/2 cup frozen fruit (strawberries work well)
1/2 frozen banana

Combine the yogurt and frozen fruit in a blender and pulse. Add the banana and blend until creamy. Eat it immediately, or it will become slushy. Enjoy!!

Also, if your throat is really bothering you, you can put about half a cup of dry rice in a saucepan and completely cover it with water. Cook over medium heat (keep stirring and adding water) until the rice is cooked and the "soup" about the consistency of runny oatmeal. Pour it into a large bowl, and add sugar. I know it sounds weird, but it tastes really good. Eat at least a bowl a day and your cold will be gone in no time!

Answer 3

Depends what you mean by soothing.
Getting over the flu soothing - something bland and carb-heavy like a baked spud with butter.
Killer headcold soothing - curry.
Life is crap and all I wanna do is curl up here and be left alone but all these morons keep buggin me soothing - chocolate

Answer 4

250 gms bitter chocolate with high cocoa content gently melted over simmering water. Remove from the heat. Add 3 egg yolks and icing sugar to taste. Beat the egg whites and fold into the mixture. Stir in a measure of cognac or whisky. Pop it into the fridge for at least an hour. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Forget all your troubles. Mousse au Chocolat.

Answer 5

I love warm chocolate pudding.

If you're looking to soothe a sore throat, try milk toast. Easy to make. Butter a piece of toast and put it in a bowl. Cover it with warm milk and some sugar. Mom used to make this for me when I was a kid and needed something to eat that wouldn't hurt my throat.

Answer 6

If you don't want it right this second you could make home made ice-cream? I like orange flavour. Get three oranges, a large pot of double cream and 175g of icing sugar. Grate the orange skins (zest) into a bowl, juice the oranges and place the juice in the same bowl. Add the icing sugar and stir with a fork until its absorbed into the juice then pour in the double cream. Whisk until you get soft peaks. Pour into a tupperware container or similar and freeze for a few hours. Absolutely delicious!!!

Answer 7

Oranges and honey are really yummy and soothing if you have a sore throat or have lost your voice! Don't really need a recipe, just grab some oranges, peel and slice them, pour honey over em, eat and then wash sticky fingers afterwards!

Answer 8

Something soothing? Porridge and honey. Nice white toast and butter. Ooh yum - toast with nutella and mashed bananas on top. Horlicks. Baileys Irish cream.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Slow-Roasted Leg of Pork with Spicy Scratchings

1 leg or shoulder of pork
3 tablespoons fennel seeds
3 tablespoons coriander seeds
Pinch dried chile pepper flakes
Maldon sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 bulb garlic, skin left on the cloves
1 handful fresh sage
1 handful fresh rosemary
Ask your butcher to remove and reserve the skin and bone from the leg of pork. To make the scratchings, cut the skin into two pieces and score incisions through each piece. In a pestle and mortar, crush half the fennel seeds with half the coriander seeds, chile flakes, and a pinch of salt. Sprinkle the spice mix over the top and finish off with another good pinch of salt. Pour a little olive oil over the pork skin and bake in the oven, on a rack over a tray to catch the fat, in a preheated 425 degrees F (220 degrees C/gas 7) oven until very crispy.
Make crisscross incisions all over the pork, on both sides. Crush the remaining fennel and coriander seeds with another good pinch of salt. Sprinkle over both sides of the pork, and finish off with a grinding of black pepper. Place the pork and garlic cloves in a roasting tray. Cover with a few good lugs of extra-virgin olive oil. Place the sage and rosemary in a pestle and mortar and gently crush together until they are lightly bruised and have released their flavours. Add 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Squeeze the flavoured oil over the pork and rub the herbs all over it. Cook in the oven in a preheated 400 degrees F (200 degrees C/gas 6) oven for about 4 to 4 1/2 hours. Any leftovers are great to use in sandwiches the next day.
