Information About

Chouchen




''Chouchen'' is drunk cool, generally as an aperitif. There are different kinds of ''chouchen'' in Brittany, some of which are prepared with a mixture of seawater as well as fresh water and honey.

Formerly the effects of ''chouchen'' were very violent, probably due to the impurities in the honey used. Bee s themselves were sometimes present in the honey mixture. ''Chouchen'' could also have a soporific effect. This is no longer the case today.
