Hangover Food

[larbert toffee]

Unsure what it was called. Seen it in a takeaway over Glasgow. Never had it as am not a creep.

Love the mixed meat spicy calzone's up here John, rather than have a heart attack I've found best policy is to cut in half, eat half and have half the next day as part of the hangover recovery plan.

in London we called them caffs, rather than caff-ays. a.k.a Greasy Spoon.

maybe a dying breed these days, not sure. lived there between '98-'05. i was a regular, even had tabs if short on cash. often seen with hangover+broadsheet and a mug of strong tea with the fry-up. always felt great after wolfing down all that grub.

Must have a few quid, the vast vast majority of your neighbours have been moved out...

eh?

i always had a full-english when the caffs opened, then bed. worked wonders to prevent later grogginess.

miss that caff-culture here in germany (where all we got at that time of the morning are boring bakers).

past or present tense?

Whenever I was living in the city centre, or surrounding areas, we could never beat a Pilgrim breakfast. 10 items with a cup of tea and then in a decent place to have an alcoholic drink after the grease has hit the system.

Who's in for a slice of fried spam?

 

[dholliday]

past or present tense?

i'm probably not writing very clearly. i used to live in London and enjoyed the early-morning caff-culture which was great for hangover-treatment.

nowadays live in Berlin which at that time of day has dull bakers full of dry bread instead of caffs with tasty english-breakfast fry-up options.

unfortunately don't have a few quid, hence the move from expensive London to poor-but-sexy Berlin lol

I remember when I first moved up about 14 years ago and chose a hoggie off the menu. Didn’t have a clue what it was. Never looked back. Brilliant inventions.

I sense a business opportunity if ever I have. Also, poor Berlin?

Hangovers are an affliction only suffered by the sober. Stay drunk.

i used to think that too, but turns out greasy-spoon caffs aren't hip enough to succeed here.

Also, poor Berlin?

click that link. it's a famous saying. and yeah, Berlin was poor as fook, up until the last 10-15 years or so when it's now caught up with other big cities. when i first moved here in 2006 i rented an 80sqm flat in a central cool area for €320 monthly (including heating). That's less than 300 quid.

The whole city had opportunities like that. No more, tho'. Capitalism eventually moved in, and now Berlin is aligned with other cities cost-wise.

The 90's were a wild time after the Wall came down, and insanely cheap (like Third World cheap).

Full English

The bigger the better

There is no substitute.

Branding, ah ha, the brandenburg cafe, english tea a must*
If dopey minded t***s can flog a bowl of rice crispies in london for £8 a time, there's got to be enough d//k heads there that'll pony up a few euros, and the gerries are renown for their love of the bratwurst...
What cartoons do they flog cereal with there?

the gerries

do people still say gerries? lol

are renown for their love of the bratwurst...

not anymore...also not hip enough. you'll find more Döner, Asia, Indian grub than the classic Imbißwurst these days.

Globalisation has made european cities quite samey.

now & again i treat my lad to these (the mouse is a famous figure here):
