Middle School Challenge Day Camp
International Lunch - Switzerland (May)
In May we celebrated Switzerland! Here are some curiosities about Swiss food and habits: the Swiss
start the day by eating a hearty breakfast even though their main meal, the Swiss equivalent of dinner,
is eaten at midday. A typical menu would bring to the table vegetable or cheese soup, followed by a
dish of poultry, beef, or fish, served with rosti in the German or French regions but with pasta in the
Italian ones. Swiss cooks had little to work with before the country became a tourist attraction. They had to employ plenty of skill and
imagination to turn the simple garden vegetables -beans, cabbages, carrots, potatoes, turnips - grains - barley, corn, millet, spelt - and
fruits - apples, berries, pears, and other fruit, fresh during the summer and preserved or dried for the winter- into appetizing meals.
Swiss food would turn into casseroles, stews and breads, often in the company of milk, cheese and butter. Our dear teacher Sonja
helped us bringing delicious recipes to make this day even more special! Enjoy the pictures!
“It was great this month to share some Swiss recipes with the Esfera teachers and students. Since Switzerland is a small country in
the middle of Europe, it is actually not so easy to determine which dishes are truly Swiss and which are borrowed from neighboring
nations. I invited Lillian, my mother, as our special guest and we loved the Zürigschnätzlets (chicken with white sauce), the typical
cucumber with dill salad and the potato salad, Swiss style, without the mayo, but lots of greens. The chocolate dessert and the
blackberry juice gave it a nice finishing touch. Thank you, Esfera kitchen staff, we loved it all!”
