"I’ve been to Switzerland and I HATED it! The French have the reputation of being snobbish, arrogant, and unfriendly, etc. I didn’t find that to be true in France, but I did in Switzerland."

Maybe that's because the Italians who populated southern Switzerland don't want outsiders to find out how much horse meat they consume.

I just read that it was a Swiss-Italian from Lombard that initiated the French kings to refined cuisine.
