mmmmm...stinky, melty, cheeeeese...

Along with glühwein and bratwurst, raclette stands are standard fare at all Christmas markets in Switzerland (and pretty much every single other outdoor or indoor event, festival or fair, for that matter). The blocks of cheese are heated, and the melty outer layer is scraped onto a flimsy paper plate and served with some potatoes or onions or pickles.
But you can't fully appreciate the raclette experience unless you catch a whiff of the stuff. If only the 'internets' came with some sort of 'smell-o-vision'...

I have not seen such a place selling cheese before today. Nice photo too.

For us old folks, it is a weary time of year. So as it winds down may I wish you and your family a very happy and healthy holiday and a prosperous new year.

Sorry for not visiting lately, Ainz. Been trying to catch up with everyone this week.

I had raclette in Zurich a couple years ago. It was definitely interesting. I love the smell of the cheese on potatoes.

No photos for a while so I guess you've left Zurich. I've been here since the beginning of 2007. Here's some of my good ones:
