HOW TO FIX WORLD’S WORST HANGOVERS

The morning after the night before is common to all countries – and each nation has its own remedy for over-refreshment. Travel hopefully and check these out..

WE all love a roll ’n’ square and a slosh of Irn-Bru after a night out but around the world drinkers do things a little differently.

From kimchi bacon fried rice to drunken Thai noodles and vegemite toast, approaches to morning afters vary from continent to continent.

The best post-bevvy dishes have been chronicled in new book Hangover Helper, by Lauren Shockey, which lists the top choices from different nations, and even includes recipes – with a handy warning about those that are so complicated they are worth preparing the previous day.

Here are the best efforts from around the world...
