What to eat and drink in Switzerland
Chocolate is the big one: milk chocolate was perfected in Switzerland, and Zurich has the Lindt Home of Chocolate, with the world’s largest chocolate fountain. Cheese comes next, with Gruyère from the Fribourg hills, Emmentaler and Appenzeller, eaten melted as fondue or raclette. Add rösti, Zurich-style veal (Zürcher Geschnetzeltes), Basel Läckerli biscuits and the Chasselas white wines of Lavaux on Lake Geneva.
