Hi, I'm Andie.
I live near the Swiss Alps, in Bern, and I love not only melting cheese, but all kinds of Swiss cooking.
All in Swiss Events
In Switzerland, Fasnacht is celebrated in the typical way—big street parties, loud music, parades, dressing-up, many traditional fried delicacies, and plenty of drinking.
At four in the morning the festivities begin. Onions, as far as the eye can see. Braided onions, onion figurines, onion pie, onion sausages, and onion soup.
And confetti.
Perhaps the strangest of Swiss traditions, the Gansabhauet involves masked and blindfolded participants trying to win a dead goose by severing its neck with a blunt sword.
My father-in-law knows most of the cows at the Entlebuch Alpabzug personally, and he's probably helped to birth more than a few of them.
