onion salad (zibelsalat)
(1 RATING)
Onions are a celebrated vegetable in the city of Bern, where Zibelmärit (Onion Market Day) takes place every November. In the 15th century when a rampaging fire almost demolished the city, the first Zibelmärit was held for the farmers of nearby Fribourg, who brought onions for the starving inhabitants. From Easy Menu Cooking the Swiss Way, Helga Hughes.
