Last time I got sick with flu, actually the oen before last one - it
was a really bad one, I had no eneregy and first I ate desserts. I
tried drinking chiecken soup made from a broth bought but it was not
tasty (which surprised me because I really liked that brand).
Eventually, I ordered from an Italian restaurant not far from my
place and it was delicious.
