Introduction: Switzerland can be said to be the hometown of European cuisine. It borders Germany, France and Italy, and three very different countries have brought various special cuisines to Swiss cuisine. It can be said that Swiss cuisine is a diversified melting pot. It gathers all kinds of special cuisines from east, west, north and south, which are harmonious but not mixed, rich and unique. The following is the most distinctive Swiss food I have carefully arranged for you. Welcome to refer to it!
The most distinctive food in Switzerland: dessert
Swiss cheese, chocolate chafing dish
"Cheese chafing dish" is one of the most popular and famous chafing dishes in Switzerland. Swiss people usually make "cheese chafing dish" by smearing garlic on the bottom of the pot, then rubbing hard cheese with different flavors into pieces and heating it into paste, adding starch, white wine, garlic, cream, etc., continuing to cook and slowly stirring until it is completely melted into thick condensed milk, and finally adding some black pepper. After serving, people use long-handled forks to fork "French baguette" cut into four or five centimeters square and dip it in cheese, much like China's "shredded banana".
besides "fondue cheese" and "fondue Bourguignonne", there are also "fondue chocolate" in Switzerland. This hot pot is made by mashing chocolate into small pieces, adding a small amount of light cream and sweet wine (orange wine and cherry wine), slowly stirring and cooking the chocolate with slow fire, and then adding fruits that can be cut into pieces, such as strawberries, apples, bananas and pineapples. When eating, fork the fruit slices with a long-handled fork and dip them in the chocolate juice in the pot.
Swiss coffee-the favorite of the upper class
Swiss coffee (Cafe Suisse or Cafe Crema) with the reputation of "aristocratic coffee" is the favorite of the upper class. It is not as plain as American coffee; Nor is it as unacceptable as Turkish coffee; Not as strong as Italian coffee. Gentle and sensible Swiss coffee is the perfect combination of elegant taste and wonderful taste.
before you taste it, you can smell its delicate fragrance like silk, and the golden foam floating on the coffee is even more delicious. After taking a sip, you will feel that the rich aroma of coffee not only stays in your mouth for a long time, but also invades every part of your body, which is really refreshing. After drinking Swiss coffee, have a piece of Swiss chocolate and a cup of bitter Swiss mineral water. This perfect enjoyment will make the whole day feel bathed in the brilliant sunshine of the Alps.
cheese-the soul of Swiss cuisine
cheese, which is also called cheese, cheese and cheese by Chinese people, is to Swiss dinners what sauce is to Chinese dishes. Swiss cheese is famous all over the world. Many mountainous areas, cities and villages will produce unique cheese. Generally speaking, the taste in German-speaking areas is hard, while the cheese in French-speaking areas is soft.
Gruyere cheese-world-famous
Although it tastes the same as what I ate in college-salty, I really like it. Eat more every day, breakfast with bread, lunch and dinner with salad, in short, eat every day. However, it's a pity that we didn't get a chance to eat Fondue(cheese hot pot, that is, boiling cheese in a pot, adding some seasonings and then rinsing it with bread) during the school year, while the Swiss translated our hot pot into Fondue China (China's fondue), hehe, it was quite fun.
Switzerland's most distinctive food: non-dessert
Swiss fondue
Different from domestic fondue, the fondue's' pot bottom is not served directly or poured in ready-made, but prepared step by step in front of customers, so the whole process is more exquisite and reassuring. In order to let me fully experience Swiss hot pot, we chose full fondue, which includes four styles:
The first style: Cheese Fondue. We chose traditional Swiss cheese. There are five or six other cheese choices in this shop, and the ingredients are different accordingly.
second style: salad. There are many choices, no different from salads elsewhere. I just like to emphasize the ordering of vegetables before meat staple food.
the third type: staple food fondue. The bottom of the pot is thick soup, similar to Asian hot pot. The most classic is Swiss Burgundy Hotpot, but we chose French.
the fourth style: chocolate hotpot! Although it's already full, how can you miss your favorite chocolate! The black-and-white chocolate pot bottom of "Tai Chi Tu" is served with a dish of dessert and cheese with birthday candles.
Sausage-a meal without meat is unpleasant
There are many kinds of sausages in Switzerland, each with its own characteristics. Each region has its own special variety, which can be smoked or air-dried. When eaten, it can be cooked, fried, roasted or cold, totaling no less than dozens, and it is kept secret from each other. Eating Swiss sausage is also very particular. Many people must go somewhere to buy some kind of sausage in order to get the authentic flavor.
fresh fish-a gift from heaven
Sanhu Lake and Geneva are the main fish-producing areas in Switzerland. No matter whether the fish in Swiss Lake can be called by name or not, they are as tender and delicious as ever.
