To ask what you're having for (if you've got one) your hangover lunch?

[ToastandPeanutButter]

Considering I never used to like football (DH didn't either), having 2 football mad kids has changed that and last night we had great fun.

Too much fun.

So far today I've had a massive slice of toast with salted butter, a bag of salt and vinegar Hula Hoops, a can of Tango and a chocolate biscuit.

Hasn't. Touched. The. Sides.

So I'm asking you, I need to bob to the shop anyway, what are you having for your hangover lunch, and what's your go to? What should I buy? I'm thinking potato waffles might need to feature?

*Disclaimer, I'm walking to shop not driving.

I always crave spice. So either a lamb shish with chilli sauce, Chinese salt and chilli prawns and hot and sour soup or something that’s delivered so no cooking and that pacts a flavour punch

@Yellowcrockpot

BTW, my food choices are not recommended as hangover food choices.... or food choices ever really....

More... what have I got in my fridge? Let's eat it all on one big plate.

I'm a disgrace.

I think you're my superhero!

Potato Waffle Sandwich - never had one. NEED ONE.
All of the pasta - yes.
Versions of bacon sandwiches/bagels omg.
ALL OF THE TEA I agree!

I've just stuck some oven chips under the grill for a mid afternoon snack, and am considering sausage and mash for dinner.

I figure, go big or go home is the way to survive today and I'll regain my self respect in the morning?!

I told DH that I wasn't drinking on Sunday night because I have a long run on Monday morning. He just laughed and said 'yeah, right.'

Train smash: tinned tomatoes and poached eggs on toast. HP sauce on top. The Archers/News Quiz/Dead Ringers

To be fair I haven't had a hangover in years, and not because I don't drink, but this was always a Sunday morning brekkers for me and my late DH.

I'd have a bacon and hash brown sandwich.

@ToastandPeanutButter

I went from hero to zero aprox 12 hours ago

I've now ate:
A pack of prawn cocktail crisps
Some vegan broth drink (wtf? Basically drinking stock)
Crispy seaweed thins

....its starting to get desperate, can you tell we haven't got much edible items in the house atm?!

May i add, this is whilst having all the curtains shut in the house and wearing sunglasses as extra sun block, as the hangover is settling in now.

...also adding, food was consumed... in bed

Oh the hangover shame.

I don’t have a post-match hangover today, but I’ve found after a couple of weekend wines that a Costa salted caramel frostino (no coffee but with cream) is the thing to go for. Then a nap.

Prawn cocktail crisps and a ham and cheese toastie

Also considering if its worth getting DP to pick up fish and chips on way home...
I pretty sure at some point I did emotional drunk time and probably told him how rubbish he was and probably was best we didn't stay together...

As he always forgets to take the bins out.

I think I'm going to ring him and tell him I've given myself a LTB on his behalf. then beg for forgiv.....I mean food.

We had sushi delivered which is always a clear indication of overindulgence the night before

Glad to see we're not the only ones @Herecomesspring1

I don't have a hangover (never had one to my DH's horror and jealousy) but I want all of this food.

I am making a healthy tea and now want with McDonalds or fish and chips. Both pretty much covered in salt

@Xiaoxiong it has everything you need when you’re hungover! Carbs (rice), protein (fish), spice/heat (I love the spicy pieces), salt (soy sauce) - plus the ginger and wasabi are just an added bonus and wake you up for a bit! Bloody love a hangover sushi delivery!! 😀

Chili in a jacket potato

@Xiaoxiong (I usually order a sharing platter for myself and eat it in 5 minutes without coming up for air!)

Your not doing drinking right, if you've never experienced a hangover.

Take my hand, come with me.
I'll show you how it's done

P.s mini breaded turkey balls in the oven now

This is the best thread I've read in Mumsnet, love all the hangover food recommendations will remember them for future ref - prob Monday!!

bacon sarnie variant: two slices of white toast, buttered and one with a thin spread of Philadelphia, 4 rashers of crispy streaky bacon, 4 thin slices of fried tomato.

I had a full English this morning. Lunch was a latte, paprika crisps and malteasers biscuits. Dinner is likely to be takeaway. I'm pushing for a kebab but dh wants Indian.

@ChainJane

Hula Hoops, the plain ones. Coke or energy drink (sugar ones). Max out on the paracetamol, as much as is allowed. Shit-load of water too.

paracetamol and alcohol are both hepatotoxic so paracetamol in any amount will do more harm than good -- whether that's prolonging the hangover (best case scenario) or causing fatal liver failure (worst case scenario). Ibuprofen or aspirin is a better choice if you have a headache due to hangover.

I have had chicken/peppers/onion fajita ingredients marinating since yesterday afternoon - was going to have them for dinner last night but we felt it wasn’t right and so ordered dirty kebab shop pizzas to eat pre-footie. We should cook them tonight but my hungover self wants nasty food again! I can see the fajita stuff going in the bin…

I’ve been writing a shopping list. 🤣

Is it wrong I’m enjoying a nice glass of wine and feel 100times better? 😳

@ToastandPeanutButter wine = best hangover cure ever!

@ToastandPeanutButter nothing gets rid of a hangover like a hair of the dog!
