Confoederatio Helvetica

This evening we had another cultural evening - Switzerland.  Certain friends of mine are somewhat passionate about this country and we have a Swiss couple, Dominik and Rebbecca, who organized a great meal and presentation.

The food was an Italian starter - bruschetta with tomatoes.  The Swiss-German main course was Alp Macaroni - which contained macaroni, swiss cheeses and potato - simply beautiful (and accompanied by onions and apple stew).  Dessert was French - crepes.  All  in all very beautiful.

Politics was the order of the day - we voted on a couple of initiatives over dinner and learned a fair amount about the unique political system in the country.  Go read more over at the Swiss Info website.

Along with the stunning promotional DVD of the country’s varied landscape - I’m half tempted to get a ticket back to Europe straight away.
