10 Foods that are easy on your wallet and soft on your hangover.

What to Eat:

Burek (recipe): is typically a feta cheese and sour cream filled phyllo dough concoction (native to the Balkan region of Europe) offering the perfect amount of grease and tangy cheese flavor to get you through those wobbly and queasy moments of drinking activity, without making a fool out of yourself.

Pho (recipe): This zesty and savory Rice Noodle soup is traditionally served for breakfast in Vietnam. Which makes it perfect for a hangover since most hangovers occur in the wee hours of the morning right?? Right?

Cheese Burger Sliders (recipe): Mini Cheeseburgers are the perfect food to eat when knocking back a few drinks. It's a near guilt free option because of the size of the burgers. You can (if you have amazing self control) eat as little or as many as you want without getting stuffed to save room for what matters most. Drinking!

Saganaki (recipe): This pan fried Greek cheese dish is traditionally served with copious amounts of Ouzo (Anise Flavored Liquor) and drunken debauchery. You have been for warned:)

Sisig (recipe): One of my favorite Filipino dishes, Sisig is like the Filipino version of Pork Hash. Take the tender parts of a pig's head, combine it with onions, peppers, egg and squirt some Calamansi juice on top (a type of sweet lime-esque fruit native to the Philippine Islands) and you've got something that will coat your stomach for quite sometime. Some people have even sworn that it prevents hangovers.

Carne Asada French Fries (recipe): French fries will appear twice on this list for 2 reasons. One, its a flexible food item that you can top with almost anything west of sugar and it will taste good. Two, its cheap and very easy to make. That being said, I have always had a place in my heart (and room in my stomach) for carne asada fries because it includes amongst it's toppings, 4 of my favorite condiments, guacamole, cheese, jalapenos and Salsa. Then there is the meat and lime juice. Which you can never have enough of.

Buffalo Wings (recipe): Invented at the Anchor Bar in (the often frigid environment of) Buffalo, New York, the hot or Buffalo wing has become something of an institution amongst fast food and bar frequenters around the world. When cooked right, and seasoned properly, you get the perfect amount of crunch and butter flavor combined with the jolt of cayenne pepper that for a hot minute (or several) seems to warm you up all over. The perfect contrast to a nice cold pint of beer.

Poutine (recipe): The second french fry related item on this list is a product of Montreal, Canada. Fries smothered in brown gravy and cheese. It's cheap, easy to make and taste's fu**ing fantastic! What's not to like?

Birria Tacos (recipe): The next entry on this list may take a while to prepare but, thats only because it involves waiting for the meat to be cooked. Perfect time to grab a drink and chat amongst friends then right? Birria is a Mexican dish that involves stewing the leg or shank portion of a goat in various chillies and spices. Here we take it down to a less intimidating level by putting it in between some corn tortilla's and adding various types of condiments on top. Best tacos ever! Try subbing Kim-Chee instead of cabbage to really bring out the spicy flavors.

Poke (recipe): is a raw Tuna fish salad native to my homeland of Hawaii. Although it is generally expensive because of the rise of Tuna prices worldwide, this dish can be done decently with any fish, that is similar in texture (I recommend Swordfish or Frozen then thawed Yellow or Black Fin Tuna as great alternatives) and mellow in flavor. Poke is a combination of slightly salted raw cubes of Tuna (or sometimes Octopus is used which is then known as Taco) combined with soy sauce, sesame seeds, onions, tomatoes, seaweed and sometimes kukui or macadamia nut oil all mixed together, then eaten with a spoon. This may be the healthiest and priciest dish on the list, but it's packed with a lot of flavor, easy to make and is very much one of those foods that is passed around like a campfire marshmallow. In other words a perfect food to share with some drinking buddies.
