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

1.02K viewsOther

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

As somewhat of a lush in my youth, when my wife was pregnant with our eldest and had terrible morning sickness I’d always tell her to have bananas for breakfast; they are fairly gentle on your stomach and the only thing that tastes the same coming back up as going down. She scoffed at the time, but have since heard her telling other people the same at least a dozen times.
