Puchen, the Height of Masculinity, Is Puchan.

Puchen has been made for hundreds of years. Irishmen who are playing harlin and stuff out the country, they'll often order a bottle of pochan. They will rub it into their muscles as a way to relieve pain from the hurling pitch. There was a man in west cark who used to mix putchain with horses pis and then have his wife rubit all over his back. That man was my father.
