Swiss Days

Well today was fun, crazy, but fun. We went with our friends Ian and April and their three awesome kids to Swiss Days in Midway, Utah. Midway is a Swiss themed town in Utah near Park City, it's got Swiss styled resorts like Zermatt and Valais, it's a really beautiful place. So every year the town hosts a weekend called 'Swiss Days' which is a mass of craft and arts stalls that sell everything from quilts to cowboy hats, toys to Christmas goods, and lots of food, tons of food. It's actually a pretty good day, we have only been once before but it was fun so we went back. It was just as fun this time. Although I had to laugh, the food stalls were just killing me. In order to fit in to the Swiss Days theme, there seemed to be a recurring method; and it was really simple, ridiculous but simple.

Just add the word Swiss to everything.

So we saw:

Swiss Fruit Smoothies - didn't get one, I was laughing too hard
Swiss Burgers - burger with Swiss cheese on it
Swiss Hot Dogs - seemed to be the same as the hot dogs I see in
Swiss Krauts - so many jokes that flowed on that one
Swiss Pizza - looked remarkably like your average pizza
Swiss Chicken - just normal chicken in a bun
Swiss Ice Cones - very Swiss, it was an ice cone with all these flavours you could add, just like the ones you see at every supermarket in America
Swiss Fruit baskets - which consisted of Granny Smith apples, Florida oranges and some grapes

My personal favourite - Swiss Tacos, seriously, they had a huge line of hungry Utahans waiting for a genuine Swiss Taco. In all the time that I lived in Switzerland I never ever saw a Swiss Taco. In Switzerland I ate a lot of Raclette, a lot of Fondue, which funnily enough you can't get at Swiss Days in Midway.

All in all it's a fun day, but we drank Diet Coke, Luke got a cowboy hat and at the very end we did something very Swiss - we bought a clock, yeah you guessed it - it was made in China.

Ahhhh Swiss Days - Made in America.
