In a Japanese Anime show called Cowboy Bebop, a drink called a ‘Prairie Oyster’ is featured. The drink is used as a hangover cure in the animated show. The unique aspect of the drink is that it features a raw egg yolk which is meant to supply nutrition to the person experiencing a hangover, hence improving his/her condition. Where organizations such as Hangover Hospital aim to provide hangover relief through methods such as IV chemical injections, the Cowboy Bebop hangover cure may provide additional help.
Several versions of the Cowboy Bebop hangover cure recipe have been developed but the one from the show remains the official recipe. In this article, we will look at different recipes for the cure. The manner in which you should drink the Prairie Oyster also varies from source to source. Regardless of the recipe you use, you should ensure that you use fresh eggs when making the cure. Swallowing raw eggs is already an unpleasant experience but if you were to swallow a spoilt raw egg, you will feel the effects for days to come.
The following are the different recipes for the Prairie Oyster:
Recipe 1: Cowboy Bebop Recipe

- Tabasco sauce
