Drunken Noodles, Thailand
Thailand`s “drunken noodles” (know as pad kee mao) will knockout that nasty headache in a matter of minutes. Even if your stomach is not prepared you should be able to squeeze in a spicy meal of stir-fried rice noodles, meat or tofu, vegetables, garlic, soy sauce and potent chillies.
Hangover Soup, Korea
If you seek a hangover cure in Korea than you can`t go wrong with Haejangguk soup (soup to chase a hangover). It`s main ingredients are pork, eggs, cabbage, bean, radish and congealed ox blood. Sometimes it`s better to not know, but in any case man up and eat your soup.
Haggis Me Happy, Scotland
Scottish people also favor fry-up food, but with black pudding (haggis) and potato scones (tattie scones) onto the same dish. If you have any room left wash it all down with caffeine-rich Irn-Bru and a neon orange fruity soft drink also known as Scotland’s ‘other’ national drink. It`s only appropriate to cure a hangover from Scotland’s number one drink (whiskey) with national drink number two… Don`t you think?
Return to Life, Mexico
In Mexico too much tequila in the evening usually means a morning hangover antidote in the form of a spicy ceviche called Vuelva de la vida (return to life).

Raising of the Dead, Bolivia
A thick stew with tons of garlic, chillies, potato, pork and bread is what will get you through the hangover morning in Bolivia.

Anyway since its very popular national dish, many markets start preparing it early in the morning so make sure to pick one right before collapsing in the bed.
