You'll have to be more specific

There are a lot of "sausage places" near Migros on Neiderdorf...
I beg to differ. Since my homeland has the highest meat consumption in Europe (and linked colon cancer), these bad boys are officially and traditionally "ours". Klobaska, parek, burtik, videnak, etc...all those lovely terms of endearment. All the others are mere wannabies, cheap copy cats We even eat the left over lard (from roasting) on bread, ugh...
Facing the migros it's directly to it's left on the same side. The sausage place is also on a corner. They serve just sausages. It's pretty good, I go there regularly since it's 30 seconds from my door, but I never saw the name.
Pork fat rules!
(Nice pic!)
Dude, talk to us about Texen fast food - what about whataburger? Meant to be as good an in-an-out?
no, talk to us about texan barbecue...:-)
I was so happy that there was one in Zurich. It was what I always craved when I was pregnant and when we moved here when I was 6 months pregnant, I was SO VERY happy to find one!!!
Krispy Kreme Originals!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ultra soft donuts iced with vanilla butter icing. Too many is bad to eat a few is heavenly!
Is that where turducken comes from?
I must confess, I have yet to get my hands on an In-and-Out burger, so I can't compare them to Whataburger, but I have to admit the pictures make them look better.
What I always used to love about return visits to Texas when we were living in Baltimore were Whataburgers with jalapeños. Even Burger King offers jalapeños (and tacos!) in Texas. I think the practice has spread since then, but that just makes a Texas-style burger in my book.
As for Texas barbecue, it's hard to go wrong at most any local establishment, but I smoke my own briskets and pork shoulders, and will happily serve any EFers who can find their way to this neck of the woods. (I almost brought some vacuum-packed brisket with me to CH last winter, but was deterred by a combination of tight schedules and Mrs Texaner.)
well when you finally make the move to CH - and you make that brisket? you will sure be popular with the locals ;-)
i've heard alot about texan brisket...
Firstly, Texas sounds awesome. I've always thought that. What about dry rub. Or is that not really Texan?
Texas definitely has some nice features (not the least of which is the FOOD), but I still long for a chance to spend some extended time in CH...
Dry rub is used wherever brisket is smoked, I think — it's not uniquely Texan as far as I know. Mrs Texaner makes mine for me, and I don't even know the recipe (though I sometimes sneak in more cayenne pepper before using it).
Some folks (maybe in Tennessee?) use a wet method, basting the brisket with some liquid concoction as it smokes. I've never tried that method, and haven't wanted to: people seem to like my barbecue the way it is, so I just try to stay consistent.
If it weren't so expensive to get local beef or import good stuff, I'm sure a "Texas Barbecue" restaurant would do nicely in CH. But as things are, I think menu prices would be all but prohibitive.
Do local butchers even offer anything like a brisket — and if so, at what price?
Yup, I've heard dry rub kills it against wet basting. I need to get to Texas at some point. Also, I've never had really good tex-mex/mexican food. I don't beleive you can get it in all of Europe.
Yep, I spent 18 years in Baltimore, and came back regularly for the tex-mex, barbecue, and Whataburger — in that order. (...Oh, and to visit family.)
deffo on the high price of meat, though some pork cuts are cheaper.
not sure on the brisket...need to do some research and get back to you. esp as now am out of CH.
not really bbq related, but i heard there is a morton's steakhouse here, but it is VERY expensive. guess i'll stick to chillis
Well, Böhmen/Bohemia and Mähren/Moravia for quite a while were part of Austria-Hungary. And so contributed to "Austrian" cuisine. Bratwurst under a variety of names figured in countries from Switzerland to Poland. A bit different, but similar in a way nevertheless, are the Algerian MERGUEZ
... far spicier than the Bratwurst ! And the Merguez is conquering France step by step in quite a big way
I actually still remember my holidays in Prague in 1990, which in spite of half of the menue(s) generally being out of stock were a kind of gourmet holidays nicely in memory
Is that the Migros plus neighbouring Würschtli-place on Mühlegasse/Niederdorfstrasse ?
The Subway in Zurich is Substar GmbH, but the Subway in Luzern was Subway Sandwiches, which went bankrupt and was taken over by NY Food
as shown here
http://www.nyfood.ch/Seiten/luzern.html (same place actually)
The NY also exists in Zch, near the Central and in Oerlikon right accross the rail station. The NY offers some quite nice wines at very affordable prices.
Slightly OT here: Perhaps my favorite feature about Texas is that in many of the clothing stores (OK, cowboy boot stores) in Houston they have beer kegs - yep, you can drink a cold one while buying boots. Course, that was 10 years ago I was there, and things do change, but hopefully not that....
