Weekend food image: Lake Geneva
Thanks to Juan Pablo Peña-Rosas of the World Health Organization for sending this photo.
It’s of Lake Geneva in front of Nestlé’s (no relation) food museum in Vevey.
The museum’s current exhibit is called COLLECTIONNEZ-MOI! It includes thousands of such things as sardine cans, fruit wrapping papers, soft drink bottles, and—my favorite—sugar cubes obsessively accumulated by private collectors, and well worth the visit (I was there a month or so ago).
And the fork!
