eli5: What is “hangover food” and why do people specifically eat it when hungover?

Question

This question is worded a little odd, but what I’m trying to ask is why do people specifically eat things like bananas and soup after getting hammered? I’m wondering if this is just a craving thing or if there’s something about these foods I’m not aware of
