Be pre-emptive, eat the sandwich before bed after a night out... just don't set anything on fire.Danzorz said:
I knew it. Well, I didn't KNOW it. But I knew it. Or at least I always wished it was true. And now it is.
Bacon sandwiches are good.
Bacon bagels are better. A nice onion bagel, with juicy bacon, not too salty, and a dash of HP's fine brown sauce.
Hungry now. Grr.

I have used bacon for years, good to know what im doing.
True bacon story!
Bacon doesn't necessarily have to be crunchy. In fact, some people are raised to think that un-crunchy bacon is "normal." Like me, for instance.
My dad likes to cook. My dad also likes his meat rare. A fine combination when you're dealing with beef but some people are a bit iffy about it when it comes to pork products. Like my mom, for instance. She's never been thrilled with his culinary skillz with the pig. Not that anyone's ever been sick, of course. My mom is just a bit more nervous about what she eats than my dad. (My dad generally thinks that as long as it's stopped moving, it's ready to eat.)
Anyway.
Many many years ago, we're camping up in the great woodlands of the north. This was back in the days when my dad was still semi-social, so when the campground decided to get together for a big group breakfast one morning, off we went. Everyone was volunteering for this or that: Cooking, cleaning up, whatever. My dad, naturally, signed up for a chef gig and as you've no doubt guessed, he got bacon duty.
I was eating all the bacon I could get my hands on but eventually we noticed that nobody else was touching the stuff. Before long a nice lady who had kind of put herself in charge came over and said people were complaining; I don't recall the details except that she noted that most people prefer their bacon not to squeal while they're eating it. Then she took my dad's spatula away.
I don't think he ever really recovered. He certainly never cooked for a public audience again. But he never surrendered his principles, either, and to this day, our bacon is soft and chewy. Just the way it should be.

Try Turkey Bacon. It's delicious and even when it's well done it's chewy.Malygris said:True bacon story!

Saw this sort of stuff on that food network show with the Queer Eye Guy- Food Tech, or something. They did a buncha tests on hangover cures, and determined while no one thing cured everything, a breakfast with carbohydrate and protiens helped the most.
To really combat a hangover, have your protien and your carbohydrate, but also drink some juice and some water (fluids, vitamins) and take some vitamins if you have them. Also, as painful as it is, Sunlight does build certain vitamins in the body...
