Now, for Part 2 of Food for the Ill, I'm posting on some food that you can consume when having a sorethroat. I was having porridge for a few days till I got bored of it and resorted to other food. (Pic on the left is Fettucine Carbonara, Yes! you can have that!, pic from flickr.com)These are some of the Food you can have!
1. cooked cereals or dry cereals soaked in milk pancakes, french toast, pasta dishes foods cooked or simmered in sauces or liquids soft fruits, mashed or cut up such as bananas, canned peaches, pears and fruit cocktail, baby foods e.g. vegetables and fruits add butter, margarine or sauces to vegetables.
2. foods cooked or simmered in liquids (e.g. stews with ground or finely chopped meats, hearty soups), soft casseroles, egg macaroni and cheese, egg dishes, meats that have been chopped, ground or blenderized meats served with gravy, sauces or soups, baby foods e.g. meats, cookies dipped in drinks, crackers or bread soaked in soup, add butter margarine, mayonnaise or salad dressing to moisten foods, pour cream or custard sauce over cakes, puddings, jello and custards.
3. milk, milkshakes and food supplements, juices (except orange, grapefruit and lemonade), fruit nectars, flat soft drinks and non-alcoholic beer, add water or milk to drinks if you find them too strong.
4. canned peaches, pears, fruit cocktail, applesauce, fruit flavoured drinks (e.g. koolaid) or nectars, sauces made with milk, cream or cheese.
5. warm beverages or soups (let hot foods cool off to a temperature that is best for you), puddings, milkshakes or melted ice cream.
6. garlic, onion or herb seasonings, cream or cheese sauces.
Thus, in other words, take something soft and easy to swallow. Mostly boiled food or food with light sauces. Do avoid all the food I listed in the last post and when you do, you'll be able to heal faster and enjoy any types of food better!!!
