An egg and bacon roll is widely regarded to be one of the best hangover cures in existence. But sometimes it just isn't enough. In these extreme head-pounding moments, you need a more powerful - and greasier - solution.
I thought we’d all signed off on every use of bacon. I thought Reddit and Epicurious and Epic Meal Time had taught us that bacon goes with everything.
