When it comes to butter, creme, cheese and chocolate, nothing, and I repeat, NOTHING tastes as good as the Swiss stuff.
The best memories that I have of my childhood were related to having my grand-maman feeding me simple stuff ... tasted so good, I've never managed to find anything like it anywhere else.
Ok, maybe the fact that everyone around me spoke french and I didn't get a word until I was a bit older contributed to the fact that food was the central topic, but hey!
Sweet saffron bread, called http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuchaule. Butter on to, and then a good glob of something the call mustard, but what is really more like a spiced sweet marmalade: Moutarde de Bénichon.
Or potatoes, butter and Gruyere or Vacherin de Fribourg.
Les pains d'anis. Les http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bricelet.
Wish you could get that stuff here.
