Dear Mamyalynne - you are a darling! I tried your sore throat remedy - and it worked a treat. I knew I could rely on you!
Thank you very much indeed

what was it?

[Mamyalynne]

I am so pleased it helped, grown up on it and it's also very comforting and tasty too.

Take care.

[Mamyalynne]

Peel an onion but leave the root on,, simmer in some light stock (or just water) when tender chop it up(discard root) and eat and drink the water too.

Wonderfully soothing for the throat , you can of course season to taste.

I think you're thweet as well

Raw onion is supposed to be antibacterial isn't it ?
I'd suggest a cheddar & onion sandwich; but if your throat's that sore ...

[Mamyalynne]

Well, that's made my day Peter.x

My Italian mum would slice raw onion very thin, then cover in sugar. The syrup was given for bad throats. I used to love it.

my italian grandmother could give me this and I would resemble a barrage balloon in bed.....

Suppose it doesn't help everyone - no remedy does.
