1. Isn’t A1 brown sauce?

2. In the southwest we have drive thru mexican restaurants that sell breakfast burritos. I’m a steak egg and cheese guy.

3. Breakfast foods, Mexican food, all sorts of fast food, Chinese food, lots of stuff

   Also gotta translate what all this stuff is in the OP.

   Biscuits and gravy is a very popular breakfast dish at dinets throughout the South and Midwest. Gravy is a white, sausage gravy and it is delicious

4. Biscuits and gravy sops up the alcohol pretty good.

5. Hash browns are my go-to.

   And just fyi we do have HP sauce! I get it from Publix all the time.

6. Varies by the person it’s not the UK where it’s lucozade and a chippy or a Chinese

7. They sell HP sauce here, square sausages are available and we can get American made haggis (sans sheep lung). I order it from a place in the Carolinas for Burns night.
   The go to for a hangover is a chourice and French fry pizza from US pizza in Fall River MA

8. Chicken Lo Mein

9. If people are out and about, two restaurants that have a reputation for being the place people eat when drunk are Taco Bell and Waffle House.

   Cheap tacos and burritos, or a big plate of breakfast food are pretty common “I’m drunk/hungover and hungry” foods in the US.

   As for haggis, there are a few health/safety rules about offal and entrails that traditional haggis falls afoul of. The rules weren’t written with haggis in mind, since it already was virtually never fixed in the US anyway and certainly never as a commercial food offering.

10. Any cheap diner food for me. Plus lots of coffee.

11. Pho.

12. Chilaquiles, breakfast burrito, Korean stew. Biscuits and gravy, eggs and bacon and toast. Some folks hit up McDonald’s or Taco Bell. Anything, really.

13. Waffle House is the ticket

14. You can buy brown sauce. It is in my grocery store in the international foods area. They have digestive biscuits, beans, brown sauce, curry, mushy peas, violet crumble, and all sorts of other stuff.

15. On cold mornings a bowl of Pho hits the spot.

16. Burritos.

    Pho.

    A salty breakfast involving eggs.

    Coffee.

    Ibuprofen.

    Diet Coke and Gatorade.

17. My go-to hangover meal is breakfast at a Waffle House or whatever the regional equivalent greasy diner is. Waffle House has the best vibe though. I get waffles, bacon, eggs, double hashbrown with cheese and onions, and a coffee. It’ll take away your hangover and replace it with a nice wholesome stomachache.

18. I don’t eat anything. It’s all coffee and water. Maybe a bagel, but I’m usually too nauseous when I’m hungover to eat.

19. I have Menudo when I’m hungover.

20. Biscuits and gravy, eggs and potatoes, Mexican food. Generally Anything heavy in fats and carbs that isn’t sweet.

21. Something greasy, maybe scrambled eggs and Spam.

22. Pizza was my go to in college, or go to a diner and eat a ton of sugary greasy breakfast food

23. Corn beef hash, 100%

24. Mexican. We eat Mexican. You guys are missing out. No, Wahaca doesn’t count. That place is so gross.

    Edit: Also for future reference the name and spelling of the place is Oaxaca.

25. I can’t eat when I’m hungover. I’ll throw up. So, I hydrate and wait for it to pass.

26. Pedialyte and a breakfast sandwich with a lot of hotsauce

    Or just whatever I set out for myself the night prior which is usually pedialyte

    Point is drink pedialyte

27. My favorite hangover meal = Chilaquiles with green salsa. Avgolemono is also a childhood favorite that works wonders.

28. HP brown sauce is 100% available in the US. I had to buy some after moving back from Scotland and missing it. To answer your question: it varies what people eat, back in my drinking days hangover cure food could be anything from breakfast foods to Korean BBQ.

29. Bacon egg and cheese on a hard roll
