Swiss cheese is described as pale yellow in color with large, scattered holes, and having a slightly nutty flavor. the term "rat cheese" was popular with us kids too!

What a yummy recipe for a special occasion, and you can be sure the bakes are sold out before the flavor reaches the neighbor.

Magenbrot is another Yummy speciality from the Swiss kitchen. But dont store it for too long, it gets hard and cracks off...make it fresh if you want to feed somone magenbrot.
