I was going to say chicken soup, as a serious Yiddishe Mamme, but if your goal isn�t to cure the cold, and you can�t taste its flavor, it�s almost a waste of all the work/love that went into it.
�Maror� though, also known as horseradish (not the bottled stuff, we�re talking about a real vegetable here) might actually clear your congestion, and since you claim not to really �taste� the food, you won�t mind the zing…
Now about your teary eyes – it�s just the cold my dear…
Now be glad I�m not your mother.
