The Zueritipp a magazin for Zurich with tipps for going out, eating, art, music, theatre and living in Zurich in general published a list of Fondue and Raclette restaurants and also asked readers to submit their favourite locations. My favourite raclette restaurant is the ‘Fribourger Fondue Stübli’ . I like it because it’s small, cosy and the Fondue is served with small potatoes instead of the usual bread cubes.

ornaments for sale at a Christmas market in Munich Last week, I literally pigged out.  I was in Munich for four days and ate pork products at least three times a day.  Despite articles like this one touting Munich’s cutting-edge food scene, I was quite happy to stick with eating the traditional Bavarian specialties that are offered everywhere in town, which meant a lot of beer, dumplings ( knodel ) and pig. weisswurst with suesser senf (sweet mustard) and pretzel To start my day, I’d seek out weisswurst (white sausage), which, according to my colleagues in Munich, must be eaten only in the morning.  Weisswurst also has the distinction of being the only boiled sausage in the world that I love.  The veal-and-pork filling has a smooth, slightly spongy texture that brings to mind nursery food — very comforting, especially when it’s snowy and cold outside.  The accompanying suesser senf (sweet mustard) is so good that I’ve used it on non- weisswurst -related sandwiches.   Several Munichers told me you’re supposed to suck the filling out of the sausage casing, but I opted for the pansy option of cutting open the skin and pulling out the sausage filling with a fork.  (I didn’t feel as lame about my technique after I saw other German speakers doing the same). The photo above shows the organic version I especially enjoyed at Munchner Schmarkert , a small caff in the Vitkualienmarkt .
