Swiss Party Animals

Clerg`s LLM class tradition calls for national group parties. The Japanese set the bar high when they cooked a full twenty-something variations meal for 80 people to start the season in September and it was clear that not all other groups would manage to reach that level. The Swiss night was held yesterday in a place on the university campus that looked like a dance hall for Wilhelm Tell and his contemporaries. And as a combination of great team spirit, competitive cooking skills and a rather lousy preceding party two weeks earlier we seem to have possibly past the Japanese! Even though in terms of cuisine it is challenging to stand next to other nations (lets face it, most Swiss food just looks beige) but our buffet of Älplermagrone, Härdöpfu- and Rüeblisalat, Buurehamme and eight Züpfe-breads complemented with a real fondue-bar and about ten different cakes and a cheese plate in the end, did look impressive.

We cooked and baked for two days.

But it was worth it.

Real Swiss men Chrigu and Michu.

To stay true to the correct representation of the Swiss population (30% foreigners) the other kitchen staff included Nicole (GER) and me (EST)

After the predators had cleaned the cake counter, party animals came out of the Swiss and our international friends making the subsequent Stimmung really the icing of the cake.
