The Pouffle Fizz
“This is a fine stomachic, and inspires interest in foods.”
In his book, Charles H. Baker Jr writes that the Pouffle Fizz is “originally native to Paris,” before embarking on a rant about how there are but few Americans in Paris “who do things with their brains and hands.” He also describes this drink as a handy aperitif, writing: “This is a fine stomachic, and inspires interest in foods.”
