We are lucky enough to have wonderful friends who have shared trips and traditions of the Swiss Culture with us. One of our favorites is the wonderful Raclette Meal. It consists of boiled potatoes, tiny gerkin pickles, pickled onions, various grilled veggies, prosciutto & the Raclette or "stinky cheese" as our kids call it.
Everyone sits around the grill and places slices
of the cheese in little pans.
While you wait for the cheese to melt you prepare your
potatoes and grill meat & veggies.
Here is some yummy cheese sliding onto Jake's potatoes.
It's a meal that can traditionally last for hours while you visit
and enjoy the great company and food.
In Switzerland they roasted big wheels of the cheese on a special grill
and then scraped the bubbly cheese off with a knife.
Our green grapes made a pinkish grape juice that was a great
addition to the meal.

We had a great time sharing this with the Jacklins and everyone was a
good sport to try something new!
For dessert .... Grandma's Joans Devils Food Cake!! Abbie Loved it!

i could go for some of that.
did you buy a swiss cheese-melting kit here in the u.s.??? where?
Slabs of cheese, Mmmmmmm. Looks fun!
We ate raclett in Bern with the Nuila's on a temple trip to the Swiss temple. It was a million years ago. And it was really good!
We can still smell the cheese! :) Just kidding...I never did think the smell was that bad! Especially when you think of how delicious it was! Thanks for exposing us!
We got the Raclette Grill at Kitchen Kneads - they have 2 sizes I think. You can also use it to make fajitas.
Why is it everything always looks and tastes so delicious at your house? Looks like a good time was had by all.
