Drunken Noodles, Thailand

Thailand`s “drunken noodles” (know as pad kee mao) will knockout that nasty headache in a matter of minutes. Even if your stomach is not prepared you should be able to squeeze in a spicy meal of stir-fried rice noodles, meat or tofu, vegetables, garlic, soy sauce and potent chillies.

Hangover Soup, Korea

If you seek a hangover cure in Korea than you can`t go wrong with Haejangguk soup (soup to chase a hangover). It`s main ingredients are pork, eggs, cabbage, bean, radish and congealed ox blood. Sometimes it`s better to not know, but in any case man up and eat your soup.

Haggis Me Happy, Scotland

Scottish people also favor fry-up food, but with black pudding (haggis) and potato scones (tattie scones) onto the same dish. If you have any room left wash it all down with caffeine-rich Irn-Bru and a neon orange fruity soft drink also known as Scotland’s ‘other’ national drink. It`s only appropriate to cure a hangover from Scotland’s number one drink (whiskey) with national drink number two… Don`t you think?
