Last night I drank a bunch of beers and some shots. I was so drunk I was hitting on a lady who was twice my age, so thats about how drunk I was. Went home and fell asleep as soon as I hit the pillow, woke up fully clothed shoes and all --- I was HUNG OVER. But there's a Pho diner around the corner. I went over there and got some of that vietnamese noodle soup and ate that whole thing. Went straight home and fell right back asleep again until later on in the afternoon. When I woke up, the hangover was completely gone.

RAMEN! and greasy meaty breakfast food

After a HEAVY night of drinking nothing settles in my stomach better than a nice bowl of pho, all that liquid is the only thing that my stomach can handle !!! Sometimes if I can't have that then I go for the all out fatty like a big mac but what I really need is that pho to cure the hangover blues.

A nice bloody mary, a greasy burger, and a nap!

I go for salt and vinegar potato chips every time. preferably the Dirty brand. My sister's new favorite thing to do/place to eat to remedy a hangover is the Russian Baths, for you NYC folk. (http://mousebouche.blogspot.com/2008/07/for-what-ails-you.html)

1. Most supermarket fruit or even most any market fruit. Fruit is raised and harvested mainly for appearance and resistance to bruising and blemishing during shipping, never for taste and flavor. Has anyone ever bought a cantaloupe that smelled and tasted aromatically fruity, was soft and succulent, juicy and truly edible only with a spoon and not a chainsaw? No. Except in some private small sellers in Japan. All melons in the States are suitable only for bowling.

2. Any tomato in the States. Tough perfectly shiny plastic skins requiring a spit-out; tasteless woody/fibrous flesh, no aroma.

3. Meat in supermarkets that swims in transparent red to pink fluid in the styrofoam container, that when opened the underside revealing something that resembles a used woman's sanitary napkin.

4. Ground beef that has a brown surface and a pink interior, usually marketed as 75% off with an expiration date of tomorrow, sometimes today.

5. King Crab, always frozen, that usually possesses spotty repulsive off-flavors, musty sometimes almost rotten aromas near the cut ends. Has anyone ever eaten a fresh one?

6. Tofu. But I do use it as patching material.

7. Bing Cherries. I am eating through a box right now and every one lacks a distinctive taste. I suspect they are raised for appearance only. [I wonder who dreamed up the "cherry" flavor found in candies and lollipops?]

8. One vote FOR monosodium glutamate. This is just a harmless tangy/salty amino acid. About 40 years ago a letter was published in the New England Journal of Medicine claiming it caused flushing, sweating and other symptoms, subsequently dubbed the "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome." This was never confirmed, and to my knowledge it causes no harm. I specify it be added to my meals in asian restaurants.

9. Frozen Crab cakes. No matter what the box says, these are inedible hockey pucks composed of shredded leg meat and bread filler.

10. Instant Chocolate Pudding. Pasty to granular off-putting milky flavor with not the slightest resemblance to any true cocoa product ever marketed.
