For most Swiss citizens, this photo shows a plain and simple feast. The cervelat is a celebrated sausage in Switzerland. You can eat it cold, just remove it from the wrapper, remove the skin and eat. The main meal when you are perhaps on holiday and are going for a march somewhere. Just pack the cervelat in the rucksack, perhaps with a tube of mustard, sit in a comfortable spot, and eat together with some bread, or a roll. whatever you have. It is for the most Swiss a full meal when on a march in the mountaines, or in the forest, or just finding a comfortable bench perhaps next to a river.

Of course, for the more adventurous you build a small fire, put your cevelat on a twig that you find on the ground and hold it over the fire until it begins to get heated. A roast cervelat is also a delicacy and it all has room in the rucksack with perhaps some tomatoes or cucumber, whatever vegetable you prefer.

The cervelat is very versatile and can even be served at home when fried with accompanying vegetables. Who needs steak when you have a cervelat. The photo is in my achives and today the price of 2.40 Swiss francs for a pair is now more, but he cost of living in always increasing.
