Oooh MN. Why can't I get it into my thick head that I'm too old to drink like a teenager.

Last night's after-work pub session ended early but after no dinner and only salad for lunch I was high as a bloody kite by 8.30!

In spite of an early night and lots of water I've been able to do nothing all day but clean my house and watch old episodes of River Cottage. Made fish and vegetables earlier but only picked at it.

Am about to steal myself to go to the corner shop downstairs for emergency supplies.

Give me your recommendations! I think one sweet, one savory and one drink will do the trick but open to ideas. He sells pretty much everything. Go!

Monster munch - beef
Caramel Nibbles
Either can if Fanta orange or a Carton of Ribena

Usually this is after a McDonald's and before a Chinese 🙈😂

Envy of living so near a corner shop, once lived above one as a student, was amazing. They did warm baguettes, amazing with loads of butter and dairylea slices.

Another vote for full fat coke, can’t be beaten, although am a Dr Pepper fan too. orange/fizzy water would have vitamins.

Snickers. Salt and vinegar Discos.

Loopytiles · 02/02/2019 18:01

Salt and vinegar pringles

AdaColeman · 02/02/2019 18:01

Don't pussy foot around, make yourself a bacon, runny fried egg and black pudding sandwich. Eat with mugs of hot sweet tea. Brew Brew

Lauren83 · 02/02/2019 18:02

Can of fizzy vimto
Prawn cocktail Walkers
Galaxy caramel

RaskolnikovsGarret · 02/02/2019 18:04

I would have thought it was obvious.

Starter - Double size twix
Main meal - grab pack size roast beef monster munch
Pudding - whole pack of jelly babies

Consider an amuse-bouche in between - a couple of Lindor or a Freddo perhaps

To be washed down with a Fanta and Lilt

Bon appetit

(Can you tell I’m low carbing? 😰)

You had me at fresh orange juice and sparkling water!!! Deal sealed with fruit and nut dairy milk..... Pringles and dip for savory (preceded with cheese on toast).

Ribena, drifter & prawn cocktail crisps

jaseyraex · 02/02/2019 18:15

Lilt. Steak McCoys. Dairy milk fruit and nut. Definitely order a salt and pepper box from the Chinese afterwards!

I'm not hungover and now I'm considering doing this anyway Grin

Nononononono33 · 02/02/2019 18:16

I would definitely go for a prepacked sausage roll (large), toffee crisp and a galaxy bar (not caramel). Would have said fat coke to go with but I really like the orange juice idea. And definitely follow up with a Chinese special fried rice later! And maybe a little glass of wine to go with...

VanillaSauce · 02/02/2019 18:17

Salt and vinegar McCoy's
Innocent smoothie
Chrunchie

buzzzzzzz · 02/02/2019 18:21

Ritz crackers with salsa for dipping

Friji milkshake - preferably chocolate brownie

Big pot of tea with nice shortbread to dip into it

Big bar of galaxy chocolate

Thisnamechanger · 02/02/2019 18:22

SummerHouse I think you talk a lot of sense

Big up whoever mentioned Toffee Crisps, I always forget about those.

Living above a shop is a blessing and a curse. It's like having a really big wine cellar.

Chocolate milkshake.

Walkers Max Strong chilli & lime flavour.

Crunchie or picnic.

I also recommend gallons of fizzy water or pepsi max, and if you're going for painkillers ibruprofen lysine.

starabara · 02/02/2019 18:23

You need a can or three of Rio. Or lilt if no Rio.

Then a giant bar of Cadbury fruit and nut, and a tube of ready salted Pringles.

Chase with a bag of marshmallows.

There are combos depending on hangover level, and ability to actually eat, general mood yada yada. You can go for different vibes, such as your sugar meltdown: Ribena, galaxy caramel, prawn cocktail crisps. Your standard balanced out badness ‘meal’: proper coke, beef monster munch and a ripple. You could go posh: san Pelegrino limonata, truffle crisps with chunks of Parmesan and some Parma ham, and a big bar of Lindt chocolate. Or jazz it right up like I did after Christmas, with a can of Lilt, tub of Hagen daz pralines and cream, and giant bag of cool Doritos. The options are delightful and endless! Or obviously the ultimate of all of the ultimates, Big Mac meal with chocolate milkshake and bbq and ketchup so you can dip depending on that precise seconds mood. I’m not going to tell you to dip the salty chips into the chocolate milkshake for the ultimate flavour sensation, because I would never do that Hmm

waronpeace I'm very pleased to appoint you PhD in Hangover Food Studies.

Sadly this is what I had in bed when I got home. I'm not saying I wouldn't though.

I seem to remember I put the BBQ sauce and most of the chips in the burger and sort of folded it. Am disgrace Grin
