Eat your potatoes!

Eat those potatoes!

I’m astonished: it seems that we are throwing away more than half of our potatoes in Switzerland. A new report from ETH in Zurich shows that producers are wasting them, but consumers are the worst among the guilty parties. Did you know that we throw away 300 kg of food per person per year?

Save the spud! (that’s what we called them at my house, when I was a child)

Drink Chasselas or Fendant, melt some cheese, eat more potatoes. A recipe for Swiss happiness.

    Potatoes are an excellent pairing with Chasselas, they enhance the fruit, qu’on se le dise !
