Sick, but only a little

clodia_risaI have certain foods that I eat pretty exclusively when I'm sick. Chicken noodle soup, ginger ale, orange sherbert (I usually get rainbow when I'm well). This is because that's what my mom fed me as a kid, and so that's what I want when I'm sick.
However I also have food cravings when I'm sick. Water and juice, because I get super-dehydrated. But I also crave fruit (probably for the liquid again, and because fruit is delicious), and meat. Chicken, beef, pork, all of it. I don't want vegetables at all, nor things like potatoes either, just lots of meat. I think it's a little off - but I always feel better for about thirty minutes after I eat a leftover piece of fried chicken, more energy, less sniffles. I guess there's some sort of nutrient deficiency that's especially bad when I'm sick. *shrug*
What do you like to eat when you're sick, and what do you crave?
