The Cream I Ordered With My Coffee At A Swiss Cafe Was Served Inside Of A Chocolate Treat

when you buy a sealed cup of iced coffee at a store in switzerland, it comes with a cookie hidden under the foil sealed lid
Huddo's sister 1 year ago
I like this, but I hope they mention this when you order, to make sure there is nothing you are allergic to. I often go to cafes where they give you a complimentary cookie but they put it on top of the stirring spoon. This means that I can't use the spoon, because I can't have even traces have traces of gluten. They never mention that they do this when you are ordering, so if you haven't been there before you don't know to ask them not to.
Yours truly is actually quite a huge fan of Switzerland. I spent a year living there when I was a very small child. I ‘blame’ that wonderful experience for my enduring love for the mountains, hiking, snow, gorgeous landscapes, giant chess sets (hi, Parc des Bastions!), and wild nature. Some of my earliest and most vivid memories are from going on walks in the mountains with my tiny little boots.
So, I genuinely understand the fascination with the country. To me, Switzerland represents freedom, nature, and beauty. But I’m a bit biased!

In this case those are all full and people stack them in front of the containers. This happens from time to time and while it's annoying to just take them back home again the situation in this pic creates a whole lot more work for the people from the "Werkhof".

In Switzerland There Are Sockets That Fit 3 Plugs At A Time

Swiss sockets are bloody annoying as a foreigner though, this type of socket doesn't work with the kind of adapter you can have for France or Germany. The 2 pins part is the same but if the "body" of your plug is round rather than this funny not-quite-hexagon, you can't use it. And they don't have these sockets everywhere so you can be in some places with the adapter you already have and it all works fine, then you go to another location with this type of socket and suddenly you're scuppered! I do know the solution is to buy another adapter but I hate having things that get rarely used!

Well...I'm swiss. It depends where you are in Switzerland. In the southern part (Ticino) people are more relaxed, influenced by the neighbour Italy. So is the cuisine; polenta is a speciality (grounded corn) and of course more southern pasta dishes. The french part is influenced by its neighbour France...a bit more laisser-faire, Geneva is a bit stressy for my taste. I live in the german part...people are a bit reserved, but friendly. In remote parts, like some small mountain valleys, don't expect everyone is speaking english...but in my expierience they try their best. The cusine is quite diverse, you'll find a lot. Typical dishes are more on the greasier side and a lot of rather heavy sauces. And yes...we love our cheese 😄 A typical swiss dish, beside Raclette or Fondue, is Älplermakronen. Pasta, potatoes, cream, cheese, fried onions, normaly served mit applesauce. But we also invented Birchermüesli 😉 So...there's a lot more

Hi Rosie! Most places in Switzerland are not car-free (and the ones that are have taxi and bus services). It's true that not every village is accessible to people with reduced mobility but they're slowly working on it... The Swiss railway company also has a kind of assistance service that one of my friends uses regularly - basically, they help people get on/off the trains and buses, help with the luggage, connecting trains/buses etc. So if you'd like to come and see the country, please do! ♥️

I've been to Lausanne twice and love it there. I've also been to Vevy, Montreux, and Geneva. We almost decided to move to Montreux when my husband was offered a job there. But decided to stay in Wales.

When my relatives from California visited us in Switzerland a few years ago, they couldn't get over how green it is here. And although the cost of living is very high here, I love my country.

I've been considering a holiday in Switzerland and now it really needs to happen. Thankfully I live in the UK so it's not too much of a stretch.

Lovely country, but I can't help thinking much of this works only because the local culture values respect and honesty. It would be ruined soon in many other countries.

I really want to go to this beautiful place! Cheese, chocolate, cows, dogs, scenery, etc. If you've been, how are the people and what's the cuisine like?

Well...I'm swiss. It depends where you are in Switzerland. In the southern part (Ticino) people are more relaxed, influenced by the neighbour Italy. So is the cuisine; polenta is a speciality (grounded corn) and of course more southern pasta dishes. The french part is influenced by its neighbour France...a bit more laisser-faire, Geneva is a bit stressy for my taste. I live in the german part...people are a bit reserved, but friendly. In remote parts, like some small mountain valleys, don't expect everyone is speaking english...but in my expierience they try their best. The cusine is quite diverse, you'll find a lot. Typical dishes are more on the greasier side and a lot of rather heavy sauces. And yes...we love our cheese 😄 A typical swiss dish, beside Raclette or Fondue, is Älplermakronen. Pasta, potatoes, cream, cheese, fried onions, normaly served mit applesauce. But we also invented Birchermüesli 😉 So...there's a lot more
