Hangover foods

As I write this post, I am waiting for the butter to soften so that I can bake cinnamon butter sugar cookies - a recipe from Big Oven. A friend recently shared this site with me, and I'm eager to check it out. Said friend is also nursing a bit of a hangover (me too, but that's another story), which got me thinking about the best hangover foods.

Personally, I'm a fan of greasy foods, like bacon, eggs and something made from potatoes. A burger could be good too. Throw in some coffee, a couple of Advil and half a dozen glasses of water, and I'll be ready to rejoin the human race. But I know hangover remedies can vary from person-to person. Greasy breakfasts seem to be the norm, but I know some folks who like soup, congee, and even oatmeal (I love oatmeal, but the thought of oatmeal when hungover is well...disgusting).

I remember being at breakfast once and seeing a friend of mine eat a baked tomato with cheese. I'm not a fan of baked tomatoes on a good day, and when I saw that while hungover...ugh...let's just say I made a beeline for the bacon.

What are your hangover remedies?  I'd love to hear from you - feel free to Tweet or add to the comments section! Thanks in advance!
