    Don’t ever say we don’t have your best interests at heart.

    In the past, we’ve educated you on what happens to your body when you’re hungover, so you can better understand why you can see with your ears and hear with your eyes as you lie on the couch regretting your actions from the night before.

    You’re welcome.

    Knowing why you feel like your body hates you isn’t enough, though. You need that miracle cure that will take you from barely functioning to somewhat capable of tackling the day.

    Google ‘hangover cure’ and you’ll be presented with endless links to recipes, but let’s get real, homework and research aren’t ideal when your head feels like it’s going to explode.

    Don’t despair, as the Telegraph is here to save the day.

    In the world of disgusting and unproven hangover cures, we’ve just about heard it all; a spoonful of Marmite mixed with warm water, a cold haggis sandwich, a squeeze of lime juice administered directly into the eyeballs – while the less hardcore of us probably opt for a bacon sandwich and a long nap.

    But Prince William has thrown yet another bizarre remedy into the mix; jellied eels.

    During a trip to the Light Project Peterborough charity for the homeless on Thursday, the Prince revealed to former rough sleeper Gary Griffiths that he ate the traditional East End snack “on a hangover after a bender.”

    That’s a giant ‘nope’ from me on all fronts (with the exception of the bacon sandwich), so let’s hand things over to the experts.

    Robin Gill, cookbook author and Chef Patron of The Dairy, Sorella and Darby’s in London

    Gill swears by a double shot of ice-cold Amalfi limoncello followed by a Neapolitan double espresso.

    Fancy, but probably not something you have on hand in the house.

    Ed Cumming, food writer

    Cumming suggests a crumpet with sriracha and crunchy peanut butter.

    Anjula Devi, food writer

    Devi would make her father masoor dal with fresh spinach, with a soft fluffy roti.

    Joshua Castle, head sommelier at Noble Rot in London

    Ha! A wine expert – he’ll know what he’s talking about.

    “After a big night I can’t stand the thought of food. I’m envious of friends who, in the quest to abate a crippling hangover, have an appetite for the usual array of salty culinary remedies. I prefer to keep food to a minimum and take both an ibuprofen and paracetamol at the same time (I heard that from a neurologist once, but it’s still one of those check-with-your-doctor sort of things). If the thought of food eventually stops repulsing me then a cheese toastie with lots of mustard and black pepper is a go. Something to kick your sinuses about a bit and rattle some sense into you.”

    You can also fend off a hangover by drinking quality wine. The cheap stuff generally comes with a side of pain the next morning.

    Mathew Carver, founder of The Cheese Truck 

    A grilled cheese and bacon sandwich should do the trick. Add a bloody mary and you’re on your way.

    Rebecca Woollard, food writer and editor

    Woollard reckons a green juice made with cucumber, lime, mint, ginger and anything else she has hanging around.

    If you can’t stand the sound of a blender or juicer in the morning, just make sure your fridge is stocked with cold-pressed juices.

    Fergus Henderson, chef

    Find Henderson’s tried and tested recipe, here.

    That should be enough to help you make it through the next morning after a night of revelry (in your home, obviously).

    I know we can’t buy alcohol at the moment, but I’m sure a few of you have some stashed away at home.

    So, when the urge strikes to knock a few back, you can follow this link for more expert advice.

    And remember, you significantly reduce the scale and chances of a hangover by only drinking the good stuff.

    Stick to craft gins, and fine wine and you should be in somewhat better shape.
