On our way to Zermatt we stopped at a gas station cafe for a snack, I must say I was tempering my expectations based on the appearance of the building. But, I was pleasantly surprised with my toothsome grilled panini made with fresh flat bread, parma ham, mozzarella cheese, arugula and a generous drizzle of olive oil. In general, gas station stops in Europe can be a wonderful shopping adventures. The stores are usually stocked with fascinating regional gourmet foods and other gift worthy items.
My son loved his sandwich, a “Fazzoletto al Wurstel”.
This sandwich is a perfect example of the international blending that I love about the Alps area: the bread is basically a pizza with tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese {Italian}, then it has a bratwurst split down the center and laid onto the pizza {Swiss~German}, with a few frites on top of the wurst and sticking out of the top {French}. The dough is wrapped over the wurst and frites {like a full sized American pigs~in~a~blanket}, slashed a couple of times {French} and baked until the dough is golden brown.
bon appetito!
Drooling again! This looks fabulous, and your sandwich sounds greta too.
Happy Saturday.
