Chard, Chocolate, Cheese. What's up with the Swiss and Ch?

It’s not cheese?

Damn, I could use some smoked Cheddar.

You shouldn’t have spoken so fast! in Romanche it’s “chaschiel” or “chaschöl” (I found two different spellings.)

Actually, even though the “gâteau au fromage” aka chaeschuechli is popular, I would say that better candidates for the national dish would be rösti, fondue or raclette.

Thanks for the link Arnold, you’re a hero!

Enjoy,
Steven

Sad news to report: Switzerland’s favourite comedian used to be Charlie Chaplin, now it’s Chevy Chase.
