Studying in Switzerland is a great way to get a taste of the country's unique flavors.

1. Swiss Cheese Hot Pot

Swiss Cheese Hot Pot is very similar to Chinese hot pot, except that the bottom of the pot is melted cheese, and the dishes are bread, fruits and vegetables. It is a dish in which two or three types of cheese are added to the pot, white wine is heated up and melted, and then bread cut into small pieces is dipped into the melted cheese and eaten. The flavor varies greatly depending on the region, the type of cheese, and the way it is served. In Switzerland, the production of cheese is strictly regulated by the state. The decree stipulates that a region can only produce cheeses from that region, so Swiss cheeses have retained their very traditional flavor to this day.

2. Grilled sausages

The more common in the German-speaking part of the country are grilled white sausages, or heavy grilled beef sausages, which are eaten with slices of bread in mustard or ketchup, sometimes with sauerkraut, in a Swiss-style fast-food dish. This way of eating is common in train stations and market stalls. The sausage is very well prepared, and when eaten in a restaurant it is usually served with baked potato pancakes R?sti or french fries, and baked potato cubes as a side dish. It can also be used in soups, which are very tasty with the sausage.

3. Beef Zurich

A traditional specialty in Zurich. Made from thinly sliced or small pieces of beef, cooked with fresh mushrooms and luscious cream, and some white wine, the veal gravy is perfect to savor with fried shredded potato pancakes, making this dish a local favorite.

4. Glacier Wine

In the Swiss canton of Valais, the Swiss specialty of baked potatoes or cheese fondue should be accompanied by a glass of the region's own glacier wine. Glacier wines are typically stored for 10 to 15 years in wooden barrels made of larch. The principle of glacier wine is extraordinarily simple: each year a new wine is added to the barrels while making sure they are never empty, and today the oldest wine in the barrels is 125 years old.

5. Potato and cheese

A local Swiss specialty of potatoes and cheese, Swiss cheese is traditionally eaten grilled and melted, served with boiled baby potatoes, gherkins and small onions, and is very tasty. Markets sell grilled cheese with bread, mushrooms, and a variety of seasonings that will make you want to eat more.

6. Chocolate

Besides watches and knives, Switzerland is also famous for chocolate. The variety of chocolates in Switzerland is rich and affordable, making them perfect for gifts. Milk chocolate was invented in Switzerland. Because it is very difficult to regulate the temperature of milk, it has not been successful although a lot of research has been done on it all over Europe. Later, a Swiss, Darnell Peters, invented the production method in 1875. Now Switzerland has a wide range of chocolates with a variety of flavors.
