Foods

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.
