    Am I the only one wondering why you don't just get a fridge full of fry up stuff and leave them and OH to it? With clearing up being part of the deal.

    Oh will be hard at work next morning, don't worry, he pulls more than his weight. :).

    Our kitchen is not very user friendly,( unless you are me) its a temporary kitchen, things like there being no sink throw people if your not used to it, you have to use the sink in the utility next door. Second nature to me, less so if you're not used to it and then three dogs run in to the utility and bound into the kitchen ignoring guests ( which they wouldn't do to me, but you never know with other people). Finding stuff in non standard kitchens etc...

    Baked beans is one of my 'go to' foods when I have a hangover, either on toast with a fried egg or on jacket spud with cheese.

    If making a fruit salad make sure you add grapefruit to help cleanse the liver as well as providing vitamin C. Savoury muffins sound great and if you can incorporate avocado, walnuts, spinach and beetroot even better as they also help detox the liver.

    Green tea, orange juice and plenty of water to drink :)

    This sounds delicious to me, we're obviously on the same wave length, but I am taking note that majority are opposed.


    I think what I might do is try a batch of savoury muffins and see what DH thinks of them. Problem is he is not a British bloke and he'd love the grape fruit, avocado beetroot breakfast too!

    I'm not opposed to anything that is on offer. Sometimes the point of going to friends' houses is to experience a different way of doing things. In fact I think you should do savoury muffins because I would like to know what everybody thought of them.

    Well, I think I'll try a batch anyway, to see. I might do them on Friday evening because I can give resident parent supper early and see if they 'hold over ' well for DH later too. Now just to decide which ones. I like the look of the ones in the link with broccoli in them but I can imagine the die hard fry up people groaning with frustration with me!

    I might make a couple of types.

    Not opposed to anything, go with what you want :)

    You asked for ideas

    I only offered up my own experience. For me there's nothing worse then being shown an array of food that someone has gone to a lot of trouble with, when I'm hanging together and trying not to show it

    The lucazade, coke ideas are what works in this household. Usually after skin full, we wake totally dehydrated and need a sugar rush. Orange juice tends to curdle in an already delicate stomach (tmi I know)

    Seriously toast would be all I could manage, but as I livened up I'd want a fry ( without bacon cos I'd already be dry mouthed)

    And your experience is valuable. I wouldn't have asked were I wholly confident. :).

    Some of the suggestions are genuinely outside my experience and so I'm surprised about them, and my natural inclination were my situation not as it is! would have been an English breakfast in this situation.


    For me it wouldn't be my choice on a hangover an English breakfast, but I accept it rules here! :). And I'm not feeding me, but others.

    When hubby and I were on honeymoon in Chicago, (great city) the hotel laid on a breakfast buffet. There was a crockpot of porridge, pastries, bread for toasting, waffle mix to put in the waffle maker, (I realise you won't be able to do that, but we loved making fresh waffles!) hard boiled eggs in a bowl of ice to keep them fresh, yoghurts etc.

    As others have mentioned about cooking bacon and sausages in the oven, I was thinking some hardboiled eggs would be easy to prepare the day before.

    Back in the day when I occasionally suffered a hangover, it was always a greasy fry up that helped me, and copious amounts of sweet tea.

    I'm not sure about muffins with brocolli! Cheese and onion/chive, or bacon muffins maybe, but not brocolli. :)

    I can do waffles. Have a waffle iron, could leave mixed batter.......


    The broccoli muffins have cheese and sausage in them. There is a bacon, feta , pea and pumpkin seed one I love the look of too, and a prawn one, but even I think prawns on a morning stomach might be too much. :D

    If you can leave waffle batter that sounds like fun. I am tempted to invite myself along.

    Bacon cobs all the way! With plenty of fruit juice, coffee and tea available.

    Personally I think a bloody mary works wonders the next day but I can never persuade friends to participate with me.
