Hangover Food...

[Peadar]

Meant to post this after the weekend but forgot and the 12 th man just reminded me there with his post.

Many people, like myself, crave a greasy fry-up the morning after a session.
I sometimes find though, that they make me feel worse when I'm finished.
Honeydew Melon or something would probably be better but I just don't crave it.

If I'm in my own house the morning after, I like to whip up, what I call, Scramlette.
Heat some oil in a pan.
Gently fry some chopped onion, chopped bacon and chopped mushrooms.
Beat some eggs with a little seasoning and add to the mix.
Add some halved cherry tomatoes.
Stir the mix together so that it "scrambles".

You can put whatever you like in it, of course.
I find it fills the gap and is easy to eat.

What do others find works a treat when you're tender from a night on the sauce?

[Eire06]

Jamie Oliver eat you heart out :rolleyes:

[Babysis]

burger and chips from the cafe, but somethmes it does make you feel worse.

I actually like a warm tuna bagguette and coke. Works for me :D

failing that, more beer :p

[Macy]

Boxty with a fried egg (runny yolk) and loads of slices of (Cully's) batch bread

Reheated onion bargees and an ice cold can of coke

Sausage and Egg McMuffins

If I had to pick one out of the list, it would be the ice cold can of coke...

[Peadar]

Us men have to know how to feed ourselves since women these days can't "cook" something that doesn't have microwave instructions on the pack. :rolleyes:


A fry up and than another nap works for me.

There's no doubt that sleep is important.
I was reading somewhere that you don't go through all the normal phases of sleep when you're drunk.

[gustavo]

jesus no not coke!
i always have the blue powerade great for the shakes
food wise yea a tuna roll goes down well or a breakfast roll.

My boss swears by that blue powerade. Trying to get us all hooked on it, but im not convinced. Coke if the hangover is really bad, if not, then I just cain the water cooler at work, drinking as much as possible :)

Tuna melt from the cafe here works brilliantly

[the 12 th man]

if i can make it.......mcdonalds strawberry milkshake & large big mac meal.......ahhhhhhhh..........

[davey]

Hangover drinks - this varies for me, I go through phases. I used to swear by the oul lucozade (original) but went of it. Then I went through a Yazoo Banana milk phase and this can really settle the stomach. But the best is coke - preferably flat. I used to work with a guy who used to open a bottle of coke before bed when he'd been drinking so it would be nice and flat in the morning!

Agree with whats been said about the Fry. It can make you or break you. I like a good sausage sandwich. Has to be a good sausage though - no feckin Richmonds :)

I like a fried egg sandwich too but the day after my stag night, my mate made me one and put tomato sauce on it - i vomited on the spot :o

Which brings me to the red/brown sauce divide. I can't understand how anyone can put Ketchup on their breakfast. Has to be Brown for me, preferably Chef. If you're having a fry, put a little bit on each corner of the plate - it mixes into everything great that way. Mmm :)

[Eire06]

A Chicken Breast Sandwich and Garlic cheese chips from Supermacs before you go to bed, a pint of water in the morning and a good man to look after you for the rest of the day always works for me :D

A nice Ice-Cream cone is lovely in the morning too! :D

[Ash]

Strawberry Yop always hits the spot ...
either that or a Nurofen Plus sambo :p

[Peadar]

I can't understand how anyone can put Ketchup on their breakfast.

Ah, my long lost brother. :)

I put mayo on everything but the old HP or Chef does the trick for breakfast or a bacon rambo.

Actually, I've just remembered, YR was the brown sauce we used at home. Is that still on sale?

[razor]

I like a good sausage sandwich.OOO err Missus !!!

YR? Whats that? Having not been brought up in Ireland I might have missed it. I do pride myself on my knowledge of Irish foodstuffs though! Have been known to travel miles to get my hands on a bottle of Chef sauce (not readily available in England)

Yep, Mayo is a good breakfast supplement if the brown sauce isn't available.

Living in Glasgow now, I've been introduced to the square sausage (or Lorne sausage to give it its proper title) Have to say I'm not its greatest fan. Can be gristly which is not what you need when you have a hangover.

Another breakfast argument that me and the wife have is over bacon fat. I like a bacon sandwich which good crispy fat. She prefers to trim, which I think is missing out. Its not a calorie issue, she just hates it. Any opinions

[Malby]

Lucozade & a ham & cheese jambon does the trick.

[Macy]

Mayo? On a fry? Feckin weirdo's. Next you'll be saying it's a good edition to a burger (the whole reason why Supermacs are crap).

[drummerboy]

Nothing for breakfast and then nice salty soup about lunchtime, anyflavour as long as there is loads of salt usually does the trick for me.

[Eire06]

:eek: Supermacs is the nicest fast-food you can get FACT :D
Ketchup is just wrong and it stinks so bad...

Mayo is the much better option :D

[aido_b]

Best one I've ever had was 20 chicken nuggets from Maccys D's (can;t afford that every sunday morning however!)

Usually a greasy fry up does it for me with loads of red sauce!

[davey]

I wouldn't have Mayo on a Fry, but its definitely good on a bacon sandwich

You're havin' a laugh???? Supermacs is rotten!

YR is Yorkshire Relish.

Bacon is not the same without the fat imo.

[Eire06]

No its much nicer than KFC, Mc D's, BK ect...

Oh It's only the Supermacs in Galway that is nice too.. wouldn't have it anywhere else!! :rolleyes:
Chips with burger sauce is class :D

[davey]

Crisps & Diet coke :o Or a sausage/bacon 'sambo'.....

Crisps? They're not gonna heal you!!!

[davey]

Can't stand Burger sauce - i presume you're talking about relish?

[Eire06]

Your 4 lanterns isn't too bad either.. but can't get that in Galway :o

[Macy]

No, Taco Chips from Abra in Longford was the nicest, FACT.

Ketchup is the best, although has to be Heinz imo, anything else better off without it. (Esp. Chef Red Vinegar stuff).

Mayo - just raw egg and fat.

[Malby]

Now I really know your taking the mickey. The 4 Lanterns is disgusting!!!

[gustavo]

thats true.

as all the sligo heads will testify ya cant beat a curry coleslaw and a big 4 from the 4 lights after a lock of pints

[Peadar]

I like a bacon sandwich which good crispy fat. She prefers to trim, which I think is missing out.

I prefer the fat (minus the rind) but tend to have my bacon lightly cooked, not crispy.

I did a taste test once.
Made a bacon rambo with mayo and one with Chef brown sauce.
Conclusion, they were both so nice, I made two more. :D
I guess you could say it was a score draw.

Can't beat a bit of black/white pudding from West Cork either.

Drisheen, anyone?

I like my bacon lightly cooked but the fat crispy - a conundrum I grant you! I tend to compromise on both - it works for me.

I like a little bit of black pudding with my breakfast, not too much mind. Was at a wedding recently where they had cold black pudding as part of the evening buffet! Savages :)

Like the taste test. On the Breakfast front Peadar, you are a man after my own heart :cool: It would be hard to seperate Mayo and Brown sauce on a bacon sandwich. If it was Chef sauce, I'd put brown slightly ahead. Otherwise, as you say, a score draw.

Have tried Drisheen once, not hungover at the time. Hmmm, strong taste - might be a bit much with a hangover although as a Cork man, I'll bow to your local knowledge

[Baker]

Blue powerade and bbq beef hula hoops usually hits the spot!!

[Peadar]

We had it in Budweiser Batter as a starter once.
Served hot with a fruit coulis.
Yum, yum!

Couldn't possibly make it with a hangover though. :)

Hangover checklist:-

- Racing Post
- Remote Control
- Sausage
- Beans
- Chips
- Carlsberg

[Dublin12]

A brace of kippers on toast usually sort me out.

[Drumcondra Red]

Ok, a hangove over is dedydration, which means your body is lacking fluids, therefor the only cure is a massive bag of salt and vinegar crisps and a litre or 2 of water, this is then followed a couple of hours later with either a large batter burger or a doner kebab from Abra.

LOL A man after my own heart! Perfect in everyway.

[davey]

I lkie the idea of "breakfast fish" like kippers but the reality is something different. Just the smell of them with a hangover would send me to the toilet. Has to be a few hours into the day before I can entertain the idea of fish.

[Babysis]

Last weekend in glasgow, all we ate from Sun - Mon was one Macdonalds meal :eek: . double vodka and lemonade kept me going - it was kill or cure on the early morning flight, but it worked, this time :D

[pineapple stu]

A pack of Tayto Waffles for some reason...!

[town73]

Think I posted this before, but, the ultimate hangover cure that has been tried, tested and proven is: Solpadeine (soluble) and Rubex in the same glass of water. Ideally, it should be taken before you go to bed, but still good if you take it in the morning.

PS: While checking the correct spelling of Solpadeine, I came across this website (http://www.solpadeinehelp.org.uk/)

[Peadar]

the ultimate hangover cure

We're not talking about the cure as such, just the food you eat after being on the sauce all day/night.

I've had one of those big bottles of Yop before and it made me very bad.
Didn't think I'd make it through the day. :(
A cup of tea calmed me down until I could get to bed.
Only ever drink tea when I'm dying.

[aidz1]

packet of meanies, and club orange helps me a % or 2!

[Roo69]

Plenty of water to start off with, maybe a bannana and then milkshakes all the way sort me out

[Babysis]

Hot chocolate from the posh coffee shops is always good for me, but only if its a mild hangover.

[davey]

Once you've got over the worst of a hangover (with whatever food has helped you), do you find that you have a post hangover cravings as well? For example, I'm a reasonably healthy eater in general, but on a bad hangover day, I can't eat healthily at all. Can't touch a salad. Even after the worst of the hangover has gone, I still crave stodge. So after about 4-5 hours after my bacon/sausage sandwich or fry, I have to have a big feed. A roast dinner would be my favourite with plenty of potatoes or maybe fish and chips or a plainish chinese takeaway. I can't get back to eating well until the day after the day after.

Do you get the 'horny hangover' then?

[davey]

:D F*ck yes!!! Whats that all about? You feel like Shi*te, your breath stinks yet you fancy getting jiggy - the human body is a strange thing :D
