So called because it is the custom in Périgord for the wedding-guests to take this soup to the newly married couple in the middle of the night, breaking into the nuptial chamber with the hot tourin which, willy-nilly, the young people are compelled to have. Needless to say that by this time the guests, having feasted well, are very merry, and their intrusion is a somewhat noisy affair—and very disturbing!
