    Glad to finally see something without a soft drink included - I like the soup much more.

    What are those fried bits? They kinda look like small Gnocchi or something similar.

      Should be “Knöpfli”. Gnocchi are primarily made from potatoes or potato flour, sometimes combined with wheat flour and egg, Knöpfle/Knöpfli are more similar to the swabian Spätzle and common in Switzerland, it’s made from eggs, flour and water or milk.

        A soft drink is any water-based flavored drink [Wikipedia]

        Water isn’t flavored and soup isn’t a drink.

          Is that soup? I thought it was orange juice.

          I’ve always heard soft drink as the opposite of a hard drink, like one that has alcohol in it

            In American English, “soft drink” almost always refers specifically to soda.

    That is ridiculously small for the price. Is it meant to make a profit or something?

      In my experience that’s a pretty normal price, everything here (and especially food) is just super expensive.

        Welp. Guess I’m never visiting Switzerland so. That is a sad looking meal for 15 euros.

        Out of interest, what’s the damage for a medium Big Mac meal there?

          Last I checked, a small Big Mac menu is somewhere around 12.50, I don’t think they offer a medium version.

      Yes probably is for profit as it is catered by migros, one of the largest supermarket chains here. Some floors in the office have some discount (11chf instead of 14), so maybe those companies pay migros to allow their employees get cheaper meals.

    In Germany, I pay 8€ for Main dish, side dish, salad and a drink in die Kantine. Outside it would be almost double for the same. How much does this cost outside your Firma?

      That’s hard to tell. Usually cheapish “main dishes” cost like 15, probably a soup for 5, but I don’t eat out much so I’m not sure.

    Food in Zurich can be so goddamned expensive. I spent the last few days of a trip there. Beautiful city, fantastic transportation, honestly, not a horrifically expensive hotel, but the food was brutal. We ended up doing a lot of snacking from the co-op supermarket.

      Sounds like the opposite of visiting Japan, where travel and lodging are expensive but amazing food can be had for under ¥1000.

    Oh god it’s so bad, I’m about to apply for a job on campus and I really hope to get the job just so I can get back to eat at the campus restorant again!
