As always, the first day of the month is Daily Photo Theme Day, and today's theme is "a typical breakfast" Though not necessarily your typical Swiss breakfast, this most certainly is a special occasion breakfast, as August 1st also happens to be Swiss National Day. So, I went out and picked up some patriotic goodies from the bakery. The bread in the foreground is a special edition of a buttery zopf (normally it's shaped like a braid; today the top is shaped like a Swiss cross), which is traditionally eaten on Sundays. The red pastry is a mandel tortli (almond tart), and in the back we have some cookies with jam.
To all the Swiss out there: Happy Switzerland Day!

How did we say it in Basel before we began to eat? "Eine guete..." or something similar. Have a delightful "First of August" bonfire. Eat a wurst for me.
A very attractive, celebratory breakfast
Looks so delicious. Reminds me of being there, i've just been posting about Switzerland on my Things UK blog. Memories... lol
It's too pretty to eat.
Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!!! This red little almond tart in the back really really looks good! Happy national day, then!
Lovely cookies and delicious i thing. Have a nice day.
Your Zopf is prettier than my Weggen, *pout*. Does the rectangular flag bug you, too? How difficult would it have been to have made them square?! Did you see any good fireworks in the city?
The 'cookies with jam' are called 'Spitzbuebe', I like your fotos, nice feet and don't forget to check out the Albuquerque breakfast. :-)
