Swiss food. Well, there is not much to say on this topic as of yet. Hopefully we will discover our favorites soon. Until then, we have been living on cheese, bread and veggies. We have ventured to a few cafe's and out to dinner twice. It is an unusual experience because we are both searching of for any familiar words and doing our best "point and smile" to choose our dish. This past Saturday night we went to a Mediterranean restaurant and it was a breath of fresh air! I was beaming to find grilled fish with spinach and veggies. Jeremy enjoyed steak and frites while we shared delicious red wine. We left full, happy, and overly aware of how much importance we place on our food.
Food shopping has been a bit less stressful. With some searching, I usually can leave with a bag of things to keep us sustained for a few more days. The dairy section of the store is at least twice as large at a typical US grocery. They have every type of yogurt and milk possible...breakfast yogurt, dessert yogurt, energy yogurt, yogurt with fruit, drinkable yogurt, yogurt in glass jars, yogurt with cereal already mixed, yogurt with frosting. The cheese section is just as large. I have been adventurous with our cheese purchases figuring that this is the best way to get a better understanding of what we like and dislike.
One highlight of the grocery is that they play american music. I find myself lingering in the isles, happy to hear tunes and words that I recognize.
