i still have fond memories of a holiday in switzerland 20 years ago, when i discovered the joys of toast liberally spread with nutella chocolate spread, and mugs of thick sweet milky hot chocolate. what a fantastic chocolate rush! and a great way to start the day before careering down the ski runs.

I think that the Müesli (which seems to be a Swiss diminuition of the German word Mus, which means mush) is a Swiss invention by some Dr. Bircher-Brenner, who appears to be a swiss Dr. Kellogg (the latter would rotate in his grave if he found out what products sold under his name today). Originally, it was composed from apples, hazelnuts, oatmeal and lemon juice. To make it easier to swallow, evaporated milk with sugar was added (since this would not clot when added to the fruits, and it was alsready preheated in order to avoid tuberculosis).
