Swiss Delicacies on Rails: What to Eat on the Glacier Express

Eugene Park Views  

The natural beauty of Switzerland is priceless and beyond purchasing power. The Swiss tourism Glacier Express offers an opportunity to appreciate Swiss nature fully. If you book a first-class seat, you can enjoy delicious food and the beautiful Swiss scenery. The train provides a course meal that can feed up to 204 people. But what kind of dishes can you taste on the Glacier Express? We introduce the Glacier Express dishes that can be enjoyed with nature.


Dried Pork, Beef Cold Dish

The Cold Dish is a meal that offers dried pork, beef, and cheese. Cold Dish started in the mountainous regions where meat was dried for long-term storage, and this tradition has been passed down to the present. The meat, which looks like a thick slice of pork belly, is served thinly sliced. The dish is served with cheese, tomatoes, pickles, and more. It’s even more delicious if you stack them up and eat them like a sandwich. As of 2020, the price is CHF 29.50, which is about USD 30. Enjoying it with wine is recommended, as it enhances the savory taste.

On the Swiss Glacier Express, you can taste Danish food. It offers a pork roast dish called ‘Flæskesteg.’ This dish is made by scoring the skin of a whole pork belly, sprinkling it with salt, and roasting it for five to sixty minutes. It’s typically made with pork neck or breast, including the skin. It’s also a traditional dish that invariably appears at Christmas, the biggest event in Denmark. Unlike other pork belly roasts, it’s roasted with the skin on, adding a crispy texture. Pork skin is rich in protein and is excellent for cartilage regeneration and skin beauty as a collagen food.


Wine to Enhance the Taste of the Course Meal

The Glacier Express also sells wine to enhance the taste of the course meal. So, what’s the difference between red and white wine? Red wine is made from red grapes. The grapes are crushed without peeling. During this process, grape juice is produced and naturally ferments into alcohol. Afterward, the seeds are separated and aged again to become red wine. Red wine has a bitter taste because it uses the whole grape.

White wine is made from white grapes. Or it is made by removing the skin of red grapes. These grapes are squeezed hard, and only the grape juice is stored for natural fermentation, resulting in white wine. White wine has a smooth taste as it’s made only from pulp and juice.


Meatloaf

Meatloaf is made by mixing flour with meat, baking it in the oven, or smoking it. It’s a dish made by finely chopping or grinding beef fish and baking it as a loaf of bread. Onions, garlic, milk, and other seasonings are added to the mixture and are usually served cold. Americans created this dish during economically tricky times when consuming meat alone was too costly, so they increased the quantity and enhanced the flavor of the meat. Meatloaf boasts a juicy and moist taste.


Switzerland, the Strongest Country for Milk Chocolate

Switzerland is a country famous for its cheese and chocolate. Accordingly, many dishes served on the Glacier Express come with cheese. However, desserts made of pure chocolate are not provided. Considering Switzerland’s reputation for chocolate, why not bring your own chocolate to enjoy as a light dessert after a meal?

Surprisingly, among European countries, Switzerland was the last to introduce chocolate. Switzerland is famous for cheese and chocolate due to its abundant milk production, and the catalyst for becoming the number one country for chocolate was ‘condensed milk.’ ‘Henri Nestlé’ created condensed milk with milk as the main ingredient, and ‘Daniel Peter’ added cocoa butter and cocoa powder to this condensed milk, eliminating the bitter taste and creating sweet chocolate. This led to the creation of milk chocolate and established a tradition.
