I LOVE the Käsebrezen. The only thing better is a Schinkenkäsebrezen, with little bacon cubes embedded in the melted cheese

notswiss – I think you must be confusing me with someone else. I raved about Zurich and Switzerland on this blog a lot more than I complained about them (and most ‘complaints’, like this post, were in jest). But if you can’t stand hearing anything other than cheers for Switzerland, I suggest you stop reading the internet at all – there’s all kinds of mean stuff out there!

I've been reading your blog off and on, but I stopped reading it a while ago because of your overwhelming negativity about Switzerland and Zurich. I'm sorry you hated it so much.

I guess you have to get your final digs in. :/ I am also an American expatriate, and I love living in this beautiful country.

Good luck in Germany. Hopefully you won't find it as distasteful there.

I miss waking up in Germany, walking to the bakery for fresh morning bread and those free smells throughout the entire town, oh a delight.

Hope the move has gone well.

I mean your Swiss pretzel in the photos, not that there are any Swiss pretzels to be found in Berlin.

I am very jealous! I took Ale to Berlin last weekend for a birthday trip and let me tell you how I was loving the pretzels everywhere. We even went to see a concert at the Philharmonic and after the show… pretzel vendors outside! Also, I was loving the prices… from 60 cents and up. The Swiss pretzel there was pretty pricey!

i think the swiss suck in general at recreating the bread based items of their neighbors. we get amazing wonderful bread and croissants in France, literally 10 minutes away, and then the stuff you find in Geneva is so gross in comparison.
If you get your scholarship started you should start a part for the French speakers also¨!

lol, this reminds me of the first time I stopped to buy a buttered “bretzel” here in Geneva, expecting the “buttered” part to mean butter melted over it, as it does in the US. Imagine my shock as I stick my hand into the bag to tear off a piece of pretzel and discover a whole buttery gooey-ness from the butter spread thick in the middle of my pretzel sandwich-of-sorts! It was quite amusing.
