the pure fact he didn't drink it shows that all that fancy measuring
bullshit was useless, who does that with a hangover, it's more like splash
of this, dash of that squirt of sause, salt, pepper - fuck, spilt too much
in, what ever. Down in 1!
James Bond brought me here. Traditionally, all you need is the egg,
Worcestershire, Tobasco, and salt and pepper. Trust me, if you're hung over
it will perk you right up.
One, hangovers aren't cured by "hair of the dog," it seems like a relief
but it still adds to the dehydration. Two, this is not a prairie oyster,
this is actually a Red Eye, a spin on Bloody Mary, but using beer. A
prairie oyster is nothing more than a raw egg in a glass with dashes of
salt, pepper, tabasco, and W sauce (can't spell it to save my life, it's
great on meats or as a marinade). That's it! There is no alcohol involved,
no olive oil, ketchup, tomato juice, or anything else you had out.
It is a known trick to drink a bit when you have a hangover, it kinda evens it out over the day. Its not for everyone, and he didnt say it worked, but some people do it.
Classic Prairie Oyster:
One raw egg, yolk intact
One teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2-3 dashes of Tobasco
Salt and pepper to taste
That's how James Bond made them.
It's a little more than that: it's how they're made. Precisely. Exactly. I have NO idea what this is, but I've talked to a couple of bartenders I know...erm...rather well cough, and this dude is bonkers if he thinks that's what a prairie oyster is. A prairie oyster doesn't contain: Ketchup (...really? ketchup, wtf is wrong with you people?), bitters (again...), vinegar (ok, this is really getting out of hand), beer (why...would you even...nevermind), olive oil (I...), or any of the rest of the "menagerie of ingredients." Look, remake this video with an actual prairie oyster (you CAN add gin, I think, although normally it doesn't contain alcohol) and we'll forget this ever happened? Okay? Okay. Hell, I need one because I watched this train wreck. *Goes back to nursing a Yamazaki*
This is THE exact recipe- the only thing I change is the hot sauce- I actually use one that I make myself that is fermented peppers- but to each his own. All of that ketchup/olive oil/vinegar stuff is way off.
