"Hiking up from the city of St.Gallen my colleague and me felt like a snack, when we arrived at Waldegg (983m asl) and before continuing on the well known 'Eggweg ' hike. We had just crossed the invisible cantonal border and were now in the canton of Appenzell Ausserrhoden. The Waldegg is a popular excursion point, mainly for its great views of the Alpstein mountain range, which was hidden by clouds, when we were there. There is a big terrace with outdoor seating, but we preferred to sit inside in the 'heimelige ' (cozy) interior with lots of wood, with a green tiled stove and with cow bells as decoration. My friend and me first ordered from a friendly German waiter a 'Saft ' as in Northeastern Switzerland a cider is called. In other parts of Switzerland it is known as a 'Suure Most '. To eat we went for a local speciality: Appenzeller Pantli, a sausage for raw consumption, that is an IGP trademark (Indication géographique protégée). To an outsider it might look like a rectangular salami, just as two similar Swiss sausages: 'Landjäger ' and 'Salsiz ' from the Grisons, which have also been put into a mould during preparation. The difference is in the ingredients and the preparation. Very typical for the Appenzeller Pantli is its garlic taste, but there is also pepper in it. Its shape comes from being stacked into a press box before being sundried and cold smoked. At the restaurant Waldegg it was cut-up lengthwise, which I have never seen before, and it was then nicely served on a wooden board, together with pickles and dark bread. We enjoyed that 'Zvieri ', as in this part of the world an afternoon snack is called."
