Bircher Müesli Foodways

Specialised

Soaked oats with grated apple, nuts, lemon and condensed milk, devised around 1900 by a Zürich physician as a raw-food therapy. ⚠ The modern breakfast bowl is not that dish: it is sweeter, oat-heavier and yoghurt-based, and the difference is a century of adaptation.
