Christmas hangovers? We have the Czech cure.

Everybody experienced THE DAY AFTER.
Staying in Prague does make it happen more often for the simple reason that drinks are cheaper than in any other European country, so having a vademecum how to survive to Czech hangovers in Czech republic could be a good idea.


We have been hearing many myths about hangover remedies: they say that the hair of the dog that bit you will cure your hangover. But that is the British way.   
Brits teach in this matter, the University of Newcastle rated a sandwich with bacon like the best food to have the morning after. Stop counting calories, then, bread, bacon, ketchup is the new eating regime to survive the day.

Germans eat marinated fish, certain types are said to be miraculous.

Scottish people drink the Highland Fling, which is a pint of buttermilk.

Denmark and Ireland go for their heavy breakfasts: smoked eel on dark rye bread, topped with scrambled eggs, herbs and a slice of lemon  for the first and sausage, fried egg, bacon, white pudding, black pudding, toast, fried tomato and sometimes mushrooms, baked beans, liver or soda bread, all served with coffee or tea for the second.

What about a real Czech remedy?
Garlic soup - česnečka - is the answer. Easy, fast and it promises to be the number one cure. All you need is broth, potatoes, garlic and onions.


Suggestions where to go if you are lazy to make it yourself? Actually almost any Czech restaurant has it in its menu so it will not be that difficult to find one in max 15 minutes walk from anywhere you are.

In Prague are now some restaurants completely dedicated to soups, check them out on a Sunday morning after a wild night, it could be helpful.

If soup is not what you are actually dreaming of on a recovering morning, then we suggest you The Tavern and its not-low-calories menu but very tasty, the best burgers in town, together with Fraktal in Prague 7. Bottoms up!
