7 Digestif
A small glass of liqueur or brandy traditionally drunk at the end of a good meal, particularly on a festive occasion. Popularly known as a pousse-café. The tradition is perhaps still strongest in rural France, where there are still people, known as bouilleurs de cru, who have the right to produce their own spirits from their own fruit - calvados from apples in Normandy, prune from plums or kirsch from cherries in eastern France, and gnole or goutte (from grapes) in the south. However, consumption of digestifs has fallen heavily in recent years, notably on account of drink-drive laws.Dictionnaire Français-Anglais. Agriculture Biologique > Digestif
