Comfort food

I have been having had a cold since last weekend and my appetite has decreased a lot during this time the last few days. Generally/Usually In general, I enjoy both cooking and eating - I used tomake a joke (joke, as a verb, says it simpler) with colleagues that one of the highlights of weekdays would be is lunch, the thought of different menus available from little cafes, supermarkets and takeaway shops, and of getting some yummy food can definitely beat Monday blues (because you have a comma-separated list with an 'and' cafes supermarkets takeaways, followed by another separate 'thought' item 'getting food' you need to show clearly the separation - hope you understand me).
However, with a sore throat and constant coughing I have little interest and energy to think about what to eat, let alone going out to get food, or cooking for myself.
Although I have no problem having European (or British) food (what is British food? :D - how about just 'Western food'? ) on a daily basis, pasta or sandwich doesn't appeal to me at all when I am feeling unwell, but a bowl of spicy & steamingly hot Kimchi soup or (Yukgaejang) sounds like a perfect solution that appeals to me as perfect to could even cure cure even my nasty cold! (how about Galbi jjigae!)
So there begins a story of picture a women who dressed as though like she is in the middle of winter (long coat, thick stockings & a and muffler) at the beginning of September autumn to travelling all the way to a Korean restaurant, which is often located in the centre of her city. The moment when a big bowl of hot Yukaegang is being served, all the trouble of getting to the centre during a the busy time of day seems justifiedable and she suddenly feels less tired, and much happier. (surely the little suburban restaurants are everywhere!)
Surprisingly I do feel better after sweating through a big bowl of hot, & spicy Korean soup.
What is your comfort food?
What do you crave to have when you feel unwell?

I really crave spicy food too! It clears my head and nose. I had a spicy kimchi jjigae when I was unwell once, and it made me feel so much better. Now I want Korean food :D (I hope this was useful. You could swap the - for , not —, but I am a fan of the em dash (—) so I put that in there instead. It is good for when you want to expand on something you are saying but without leaving the original sentence structure).
