History:

Created in 2017 by Sam Robertson & Alexander Taylor at Pennyroyal, Cardiff, Wales.

"Susto is from the Digestives section of our menu. Local Zapotec tribes of Oaxaca, Mexico, attribute illness to ‘Susto’ – emotional shock. Tribeswomen known as ‘Partera’ provide herbal remedies to ease the suffering."
