_Wormwood_ (Vol. ii., pp. 249. 315.).--The French gourmands have two sorts
of liqueur flavoured with wormwood; Crême d'Absinthe, and Vermouthe. In the
_Almanac des Gourmands_ there is a pretty account of the latter, called the
_coup d'après._ In the south of France, I think, they say it is the fashion
to have a glass brought in towards the end of the repast by girls to refit
the stomach.
