Breakfast in Switzerland

I'm a fan of Swiss food, it's freshness, that is.  But compared to American food it can be quite boring.  When dining at a restaurant don't expect variety nor the little extras like unique sauces or special ingredients.  In my opinion, Swiss restaurants offer the same experience you can get in your own kitchen.  So when my husband and I decided to venture out in our new city and grab breakfast, I didn't expect much...as usual...unfortunately.

 Haupteingang = Main entrance to the old city

 Local shop / cafe.

Our breakfast. Four bread rolls, two cappuccino, one orange juice, and butter and honey which cost .70 CHF = .84 USD each.  Condiments are not free in Die Schweiz.  The total cost for breakfast 15.70 CHF = 18.77 USD.

Caio.

Visual Stimulation

One of the reasons why I write a blog is to entice my family and friends to visit me in Switzerland.  So that means, carrying my camera everywhere I go (I figure visual stimulation will do the trick).  The downside is that I look like a tourist. 

Today's visual stimuli is food!!  To be honest, what makes Swiss food quite delicious is that it's fresh.  I don't think there is such a thing as Swiss cuisine.  At least not like French or Italian cuisine.  But the food is good!  Guten Appetit.

We were served coffee at the bank.  It's quite nice.  However, the Swiss do operate at a snail's pace.  A matter that may take 30 mins in the States can take twice as long in Der Schweiz.  So a nice cup of coffee softens the wait.

Next, we decided to grab a bite to eat with friends.  I had the fried fish.  My husband ate ostrich.  Yes, ostrich.  I've had it a few times.  It's quite good. 

Then, of course, our favorite.  We later treated ourselves to ice cream.  This ice cream is homemade and DeLiCious !!
