Berner Platte
The Berner Platte (
The Berner Platte is not a stew; rather, the different meat ingredients and side dishes are each separately prepared or cooked. Berner Platte dishes are sometimes served within the context of a buffet.[6]
History
The Berner Platte originated on March 5, 1798, when the Bernese defeated the French army at the Battle at Neuenegg and returned as the victor. A victory celebration had to be organized in a very short time.[7] For this purpose, the community contributed the best of their supplies.[7] Due to the late winters, mainly durable or preserved foods were used, which were combined to create the well-known dish.
