It's long been known that square slice sausage on a roll liberally dosed with brown sauce are #1 hangover cure, especially when accompanied by a cup of tea.

Efros

Paris cos she knows good sausage.

Yes, but will the bacon sarnie be available in pill form, like most 50's-styled sci-fi stories?

Can they use this research to help cure the gays?

For me it has to be a Little Chef soft bap with bacon, egg and a big dollop of brown sauce. When the yolk breaks..MMmmm!!!!!! Can't do McD's, BK etc. Bacon and egg - food of the Gods :)

Bacon Good For You, Reports Best Scientist Ever:

I tried vegetarianism (briefly)... it was bacon that got me, too... although now, being rather fond of most meats, I have to conclude that it was definitely just a fad.

Working from home two days a week was handy for schoolnight-based pub incursion exercises, and a big, greasy bacon and egg butty - preferably with two small eggs if there are no large ones to hand - on a large soft roll with rakes of salted butter and ketchup was food of the gods for the morning after.

Out on the lash till gone ten, back home after midnight, up at half six, roll eaten by half seven, ready to work at half eight.

Blinding stuff.

PS: Stories like this are why I come back to El Reg every day.

led me to the same conclusion! nice crispy bacon, some cheese brown sauce = epic win customise to your needs

Meat is murder, but a bacon sarnie is justifiable homicide;)

I now have plans for the post-(traditional Good Friday piss up )-breakfast

PS. Does any other civilised nation pander to Christians to the extent that it is illegal to sell alcohol while the Christians are mourning the death of an itinerant Jewish philosopher?

Personally speaking, I'm one of the blessed few who doesn't suffer from hangovers anymore.

Probably due to large quantities of alcohol being imbibed over a number of years. For those not blessed with this ability, my recommendation in avoiding them is to stay pissed!

Yes, it was a Pork pie that got me off being a three year vegetarian! My son went Vegetarian for six months but the smell of bacon broke him as well!

Mines the one with Vegetarian Epicure by Rose Elliot in the pocket.

"how long will Gordon Pryra still have an account on El Reg and who at the Reg is going to get a bollocking for this?"

I'm guessing nobody will get a bollocking. It was clearly tagged as a joke. Grow up, and get a sense of humour along the way.

(That's me, speaking on behalf of the whoopsies - who will no doubt be reading the Hello! website instead of el Reg, of course)

I take exception to 'bad news for porkers'. There are two types of pig; porker pigs, bred for pork, and baconer pigs, bred for bacon. So that should be 'bad news for baconers'.

Instant recovery

He knew 3 vegetarians ... did he ? Elin might not appreciate the inference that she's undergone gender reassignment surgery -

Not so much Paris as the question mark !

@David Bell...get a sense of humour...

WTF is the "Centre for Life in Newcastle"? What clever piece of research have they done on this? Which peer-reviewed journal has it appeared in? Or is this some random "scientist" making another unsubstantiated PR statement.

Not, you understand, that I am against bacon sarnies. Had a few last Sunday meself.

Mine's my pigskin jacket that is too small around the waist.

Ok so I messed up, but a bacon sarnie later and I am back.

Missed the story last week, so missed the implied reference.

So apologies to Gordon Pryra specifically and a general sorry to everyone else.

Paris, cos, well everyone makes mistakes.............

Surely the hardcore drinkers among us would have already figured this out for themselves... I've been eating bacon sarnies to get rid of hangovers for years!

Mine's the one with "Please Use a Defibrolator" on the back...

I've always found a nice greasy McDonald's breakfast to be just the ticket. Sausage McMuffin with egg and hash browns does the trick every time. I feel that numerous times this combination has very nearly saved my life (while possibly shortening it as well, how ironic)

...is prevention.

Don't get drunk.

I know, I know. It's the one with the white collar and the Bible in the pocket, thanks...

I think bacon sarnies definitely form a key element of drinking recovery. The inclusion of a 'ready to burst' fried egg is practically mandatory as well - and it is for this reason that McD's has got to be a no-no - that re-hashed shite they call an egg just doesn't do the necessary, IMHO!

To possibly back up the medicinal claims for the sea - I find fresh cold mountain air is very helpful the morning after the night before, which is further aid to the bacon sandwich. I have in the past smuggled large quantities of English bacon through customs to ensure a 'proper' sandwich is available for aprés-ski recovery.

I have had it argued that a whiff or three of hard alcohol ("the sharpener") assists as well - I have not been convinced by the so-called medical explanations for this (usually along the theme of jump-starting the system etc), but when in need, I am not going to refuse on the grounds of a lack of empirical evidence...

I saw this on the Bacon Porn page.

I love that you've got getting drunk then breakfast on your mind.

You never need an excuse for eating bacon. Even the pigs themselves are fully committed...

Oh, wait....

... is drinking heavily the night before (from one of PTerry's books, I think - don't recall which though)

I was vegetarian for 7 years before I was 'cured' by a ham sandwich on a cycling trip to France. Well, it was either that or starve ...

The best bacon sandwich, however, is one cooked by someone else and consists of bread, fried sliced pig *and nothing else*. Sauce of any kind is an abomination unto Nuggan.

Here endeth the lesson :-)
