LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND / EDITOR’S NOTEPAD – The “Semaine du goût” (taste week) at the end of September left many a good meal under our belts, but my personal favourite of the week deserves a special mention and a few photos.
I had lunch with the Vaud cantonal police, a guest at their VIP table – the others had the kind of titles you only see in good police novels or movies. The chef who keeps them well fueled throughout the year whipped up a special meal.
Before I share the menu, let me share some good news.
For the past six years I’ve had people regularly ask me to publish more information about the police and safety in their own backyard, and GenevaLunch is now doing so, safety precautions and information from police for Geneva and Vaud and sometimes more generally, such as the tips from the British Consulate for travelers to Switzerland.

Here’s how the police celebrated Taste Week; table decor was oranges, avocats and fruit de la passion. It’s not just the chef who has a sense of humour – the police and guests such as the cantonal prosecutor spent part of lunch coming up with yet more colourful names for the dishes.
