I fell in love with muesli in Switzerland this summer. The Swiss really know how to do breakfast. Everywhere I stayed, I woke up to a breakfast spread with fresh-baked breads, soft-boiled eggs, an array of cheeses and charcuterie, poached fruit, fresh berries and currants...but nothing was as good as the muesli. I tried to reproduce the same dish back home in California, but I never could get it quite right. I really missed the shiny red currants that were ubiquitous in Switzerland, but I only was able to find dried here. Finally I decided to stop trying to approximate the Swiss version and just made up my own, replacing the currants with pomegranate, among other things. Good choice. I think I like it even better. - linzarella
