I couldn’t do it....

“After a night of overindulgence, Germans turn to katerfruhstuck (translation: “hangover breakfast”) to get themselves right. That term encompasses a category of dishes, and one of the most popular (i.e., thought to be effective) is rollmops, filets of pickled herring wrapped around pickled fillings. There’s something counterintuitive about the proposition that a queasy hangover would be eased by a hunk of dense, oily fish encasing mouth-puckering pickled onions and cornichons....”

Do you have a hangover remedy that works for you? Because I’m not trying rollmops.

That sounds really bad.  
 

A full English breakfast would cover all the bases, I think.  The omission of cheese would normally be glaring, but you don’t really notice it missing in the full English breakfast.

I have a hangover remedy,  but it begins the night before and won't do you any good now.

Abstain from alcohol? Yeah, I have to work both today and tomorrow, so this isn’t a pointed issue for me. But I think the rollmops would do me in, regardless of what I had done the previous night.

Another thing I haven't worried about for close to 4 decades.

 

 

Hasn't been that long for me, but still in the couple decades realm.

What always worked for me, plenty of water before I started drinking and plenty of water the next day.  So if you have a hangover, drink water until it goes away because you are dehydrated.

My theory is that a hangover is merely grease depletion.  Alcohol washes it from your system and it must be replenished.  Maybe a full English without eggs and tomato but better yet is the greasiest hamburger you can find.  

Why can't you have the full english with eggs and tomato ON the burger?  Sounds good to me!

I had it everyday in Scotland. It is delicious.

But you didn't bring any back with you, did ya?

I have a co-worker that brought some back from Scotland a little over a year ago for a client of ours.  Obviously Customs missed the couple cans he had.  Our clients is a former officer in the Soviet army.  He said that haggis was packed in a lot of their MREs.  It was a typical bivouac food for the Soviets

I did not bring any back. Wish I had. I've tried finding it online. There is a weak substitute available. Maybe I can get sheephearder to send me the ingredients and make my own.

Or I could join the Soviet army.

I'm surprised customs missed it. My GF tried to bring some sardines back from France for me and the customs dude confiscated them because the had an ounce too much water in them. She thinks he just wanted them for his lunch.
