The so-called "Swiss cuisine" has two characteristics: first, the dishes are heavy in taste and high in calories. Due to the extreme cold in the Alps, local people need high-calorie food to keep out the cold, so traditional Swiss cuisine often uses a lot of butter, cream, cheese, potatoes and various meat products; Second, dairy products are widely used in dishes. Because the traditional agriculture in Switzerland is mainly animal husbandry, the milk yield is high and the quality is good, and the by-products made from milk are very diverse and will also be used in cooking.
In Switzerland, apart from most European flavors, Asian flavors are also very popular, which can generally be found in big cities. The most popular are Thai food, Indian food and Japanese food. Chinese food and Korean food are less, and there is no Chinatown. Most Chinese food has also improved.
