Blogging on Cuisines

Part of the privilege of my job has been travel around the western world (cannot say World as I have yet to go east of India or south of it).
Europe, small as it may be is widely diverse. Each country is different and has regions that are different from one another in its cuisines.
Take for matter Switzerland, where I spent most of my last 4 years. Swiss cuisine is in a way defined by its neighbors.
If we take out the famous Fondue, Swiss cuisine can be divided much like its population into French, German and Italian.
Of course Swiss is known for its dairy products- chocolates and cheese included.
Swiss wines are good but wine connoisseurs do not proclaim them as greatest. But I was told certain years were really good and for my humble palate I found some of the table wines really good. I never liked wines before I went to Swiss. I tasted Sura Red wine in India and found it revolting.
And I don't think it was because the wine was bad. My taste buds were not developed enough to enjoy the taste of wine...used to as they were for Rum, Vodka, beer.
I started with white wines and they are gentler on the palate and then moved over to rose wine (its a pink wine with taste between a white and Red wine...though closer to white).
Once I was used to drinking these wines, I shifted to Red wines and have been hooked ever since. I have always enjoyed a stronger red wine.
The only trouble - I could never remember the names of the wines...though I do remember the various regions whose wines I liked.

In coming days, I will try to blog about the aspect of cuisine I liked in different part of the world.
