What do you crave when hungover?

[Margo34]

My friend and I were comparing hangovers on Saturday after a few drinks Friday. Our cravings were totally different!

Friend craved fried chicken and chips.
I craved salt and vinegar crisp, a bag of salad smothered with vinaigrette and, very specifically, those slightly spicy mini roasted peppers stuffed with ricotta 😂

Why do I not craze chicken and chips or a burger or the like, as well? Why do I crave vinegary stuff?

And what do you crave when hungover?

I hear you with the no butter! I think that’d make me heave if I had it with a breakfast. Maybe just about tolerate it soaked into white bread toasted!

Chocolate milkshake and salty crisps. God, Im glad I don't drink anymore. This combo still gives me flashbacks and hangxiety!

You are my kinda person. I never knew how good cheesy Doritos are, especially for a hangover!

Ooh yes, I think you’re right different combo’s for different hangovers but to be fair past few years it’s been mostly gin ones (which are a walk in the park really!) and less cocktail ones which really gave me evil hangovers (mixing drinks).

That’s my go to too, sausage and egg McMuffin. When McDonald’s used to do the brekkie deals they added hash browns and a drink which helped too.

Or Pret sausage brioche or their ham and tomato baked savoury thing. The latter got me through a few work based school night hangovers (not too pissed!) in late 20s/early 30s.

Something with a good dose of fat but more importantly, chilli! Like cheese on toast with lime pickle or a sausage sandwich with chilli sauce

Death
My hangovers are bad which is why I don't drink anymore

I don't really have hangovers any more because I don't drink that much - but it was always boiled eggs and soldiers when I did.

I crave orange juice and absolution.

A really, really bad hangover where I'm sick = a banana and lucozade sport. Must be the potassium.

A bad hangover = cool Doritos or pretzels and lemon Fanta.

A moderate to bad hangover = fast food and fanta

Apple juice
A banana
I'm with you on the salt and vinegar crisps
A KFC a few hours later

Something like wagamama in the evening

Fruity ice lollies
Ginger beer... very cold

Yikes
Well done for giving up

Yes! Lime pickle!

Sausage sandwich - has to be cheap sliced white bread and Richmond or similar cheap sausages. Lots of butter, maybe some brown sauce.

White bread with butter and marmite
hard boiled eggs with salt and chilli
Red ambulance
orange juice with fizzy water
ceasar salad

Toast and marmite
Strong cheddar
Cheese and onion crisps
Salty, fatty, strong, stodgy carbs

Oven chips, with grated cheese and bisto gravy. This may out me to those in the know.

Ooh yeah I always fancy a spicy curry the next evening.

4 Potato waffles, baked beans, 2 fried eggs, 2 hasbrowns and laughing cow cheese triangles, all piled together in a bowl. Kill or cure 😆

That or KFC if someone will go fetch it for me!

Prawns

Or

a fry up

Last week was pot noodles, one for breakfast and one for lunch. I made them really watery and drank the 'juice' from the pot afterwards, really sorted me out. Also very cold diet coke

Im teetotal now, but what I craved with a hangover (and also now what I crave when I have a migraine weirdly) was chips, proper chip shop chips, loads of salt and vinegar, possibly with some very well buttered bread and a huge bottle of lucozade

Lots of salty crap food mixed with really fresh fruit and salad.

I was hungover on Saturday and through the day I ate...
Bacon sandwiches.
Two oranges.
McDs for lunch.
About half a cucumber cut into sticks.
A tin of pineapple.
A large bag of crisps.
Carrot sticks dipped in salad cream.
