German-speaking Swiss Foodways

Deutschschweiz

Linguistic

The food of German-speaking Switzerland, about two-thirds of the country: rösti and potato cookery, Älplermagronen, Zürcher Geschnetzeltes, sausages and cervelat, dense breads and Sunday braids, apples and pears, lake fish, Alpine cheese and the dairy economy behind it, and a baking tradition that runs from Basler Läckerli to Zuger Kirschtorte.
