Whats your favorite hang over food?

I like it

Throughout most of the U.S., hangover foods owe a lot to the country’s Anglo roots – salty, greasy, fatty foods like bacon, eggs, grilled cheese sandwiches, or anything fried – the notable exception being the parts of the United States where Hispanic culture abounds (think menudo, Mexican beef stomach soup).

Fatty foods, though popular, are scientifically proven to be a better preventative than a cure; the grease helps (repel the alcohol from the stomach lining) but will probably only irritate a hungover person’s stomach further. Eggs, however, contain high amounts of cysteine – the enyzme that breaks down the hangover-causing toxin acetaldehyde. In short, hold the bacon and double up on the eggs.

Guatemala

A hangover is called “goma” in the Guatemalan dialect of Spanish, and as throughout most of Latin America, something spicy is in order. A loving aunt once served me caldo de pollo (chicken broth) with chopped hot peppers swimming in it while my cousin looked on in jealousy: All I ever get when I have goma is a lecture. Did it work? Heck yeah. Got to sweat it out, *****.

Bolivia

Fricasé – a spicy yellow chili, garlic, and cumin-infused pork stew, thickened with crumbled bread, hominy, and potato. A typical lunchtime dish, also known as “levanta muertos” – raising of the dead. Find it at markets, served up hot on weekend mornings. Spiciness and porky dead-raising goodness all in one.

Denmark

When feeling rotten, the Danes do as many other cultures in the world and turn to a “reparations-bajer” (fix-it brewster) to help them feel back to normal — that is, a little hair of the dog. A popular remedy, drinking more alcohol might seem to lessen the symptoms at first but is actually more harmful, giving the liver more toxins to deal with. Try telling that to a hungover Dane in need of fast relief – more Fisk, anyone?

Ireland

Months ago, I was researching a “comfort foods around the world” article and couldn’t help but note that my Irish friends all cited “hangovers” as the moments when they needed the most comfort. How do the Irish soothe the morning after misery? Fried toast, full Irish breakfast. Also, hair of the dog.

Russia

Pickle juice tipped out from the jar, is a popular hangover remedy for the manly types. Girlier Russian stomachs might prefer Kefir or Ayran. Fact: hangovers take longer to leave a woman’s body than a man’s. Just another example of why it’s awesome to be part of the fairer sex.

UK

The usual suspects of the English-speaking world abound here: English breakfasts and things swimming in grease. If Cabaret’s Sally Bowles is to be believed, a prairie oyster – raw egg whooshed up with Worcestershire sauce – will also help do the trick. Among the Englishfolk polled, Coca-Cola and coffee also came up often as cures.

Italy

Many Italians claim they don’t get hangovers since drinking is such a natural part of the culture that alcohol abuse is rare. But in the case they do experience postumi della sbornia (the closest translation for hangover I can wrest out of my friends), spicy flavorful foods, espresso, and fruit juice are high up on the list of cures. If the Italians got hangovers, that is. Which they don’t.

Turkey

Once-tipsy Turks reach for turnip juice and more beer to help settle their stomachs or, even more excitingly, kokoreç – a fast food or streetcart dish made of chopped tomato, thyme, pepper and seasoned offal. The preferred organ meats for this dish are suckling lamb intestines, but sweetbreads, heart, kidneys and lungs are also popular. They’re served on toasted bread and delicious, I’m sure, even when sober.

Japan

The Japanese word for hangover – futsuka means second day drunk. Drinking Ukon no Chikara (a turmeric-spiked energy drink) on the first day to head off the hangover goblins is popular, but in case the beer, sake, and chuhai proved too tempting, shijimi soup, raw egg, miso soup, and umeboshi (pickled plums) are cited as cures… as is more sake the day after.

Grilled Lambs Livers, Bacon, Eggs, Fried Tomato, Toast, Vegemite, Baked Beans and lots of glasses of Tomato Juice (sometimes with some vodka in it)...

But the most important is the Lambs Liver. It is almost pure Vitamin B...which is great for a hangover.

Bacon & Egg on an a Toasted Onion Roll and an Egg Cream, but if you have a bad hang over, nothing much makes you feel better except time.

Nachos

any seafood is good

shrimp cocktail, since it has salt to replenish your electrolytes lost in your hangover

also clamato and a beer, the clam water has electrolytes too

bloody mary mix , can be a virgin bloody mary helps too

gatorade , power ade, should help too with the electrolytes

banana has electrolytes too

Sausage egg and cheese croisandwich. From burger king.
