Nestled among the Alps, Switzerland is known for its vast lakes and skiing opportunities. However, visitors would seriously miss out if they skipped trying some delectable Swiss dishes.

1. Fondue: This is a Swiss culinary staple. For centuries, the Swiss have been enjoying bread dipped in melted cheese. No trip to the country is complete without fondue.
2. Papet Vaudois: In layman’s terms, leeks, potatoes, and sausage. The leeks and potatoes are mashed and stewed for hours to prepare the perfect bed for sausage. It is a hallmark of Swiss cuisine.
Conclusion
3. Raclette: Originating in the canton of Valais in southwestern Switzerland, raclette involves cheese that is typically slowly grilled over a fire and then paired with potatoes, pickles, and onions. Modern Swiss homes are equipped with raclette cookers to facilitate the grilling process.
