Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. In Haiti, it is said that people cure hangovers with voodoo by sticking pins into the cork of the bottle. How many pins are inserted?

Answer: Thirteen

The cork has to be from the bottle you drank from, and putting thirteen black headed pins into it keeps the spirits that cause hangovers at bay. If you consumed more than one bottle, then thirteen pins for each cork are needed if those demons are to be properly discouraged.

2. Sicilians supposedly have a very robust and manly hangover cure, which involves chewing on a certain type of dried meat. What is it?

Answer: Dried bull's penis

You may find that your local convenience store does not have a ready stock of this. A good substitute is dog treats know as bully sticks, which are made from bull penis. These start off at around 24 inches long, but are cut down to around six inches before being packaged and sold. Dogs find the taste quite compelling.

3. Remember the good old American Wild West, when men were men? They stirred the droppings of a furry little animal into their tea as a hangover cure. Which animal?

Answer: Rabbit

Catch your rabbit, skin it, and eat it for dinner with copious amounts of whatever alcohol is available. Save the droppings and stir them into your morning tea to cure the hangover. Yes, men truly were tough in those days.

4. Puerto Ricans have a more civilised hangover cure than many. Some rub their armpits with a slice of which citrus fruit?

Answer: Lemon

Supposedly the lemon rubbed into your armpits before you start drinking is absorbed by the body, preventing dehydration and the hangover. Also, smelling of lemon all day is not a bad thing, but I don't like to imagine the reaction if you'd just shaved your armpits and had one or two shaving nicks.

5. Outer Mongolians are made of stern stuff when it comes to hangover cures. A nice quick drink of tomato juice plus which part(s) of a sheep, pickled, get some of them going again?

Answer: Eyes

This remedy dates all the way back to the times of Genghis Khan, but in his day the eyes were drunk with brine. Tomato juice has to be an improvement on brine, and perhaps if you close your eyes you can pretend that the sheep eyes are actually hard boiled eggs.

6. The fry-up is a traditional hangover cure which both the Romans and Greeks once used, but they fried a small singing bird. What was it?

Answer: Canary

Both the ancient Romans and Greeks used to breakfast on deep fried canary to cure those nasty after-orgy after-effects. Presumably the birds were plucked first. The Greeks also used to eat sheep lungs and owl eggs for breakfast as a
hangover cure.

7. Romanians are known to use part of the inside of a cow as their patent hangover remedy. What is it?

Answer: Tripe

In Romania, a nice hearty soup of boiled up tripe, which is the stomach of the cow, with root vegetables, garlic, vinegar and cream, is the hangover cure. Tripe is also found in the Vietnamese soup Pho, which is also a hangover cure, so perhaps there is something in this one.

8. The good old "Prairie Oyster" is a renowned hangover cure in many parts of the world. The ingredients are a raw egg and what else?

Answer: Worcestershire Sauce

Take one raw egg, add Worcestershire sauce, season with salt and pepper and swallow down in one gulp. More kill or cure than guaranteed cure. On a serious note, this is not recommended for anyone who is pregnant because of the raw egg.

9. The Scots have a fairly gentle hangover cure. Called a "Highland Fling", it consists of one pint of boiled buttermilk, with one table spoonful of what other ingredient stirred in?

Answer: Cornflower

Buttermilk and cornflower are warm and gentle on the stomach and easily digested. It's just the thing to have you feeling better in no time, provided that you can actually stand the taste of thick, boiled milk.

10. As a hangover cure, Egyptians drank the water that had been used for cooking which vegetable?

Answer: Cabbage

Cabbage water was the Egyptian hangover cure. Cabbage is rich in iron, sulphur and vitamin C, and is a well-known detoxifier. It also contains nutrients that protect the body from free radicals.
