Birchermüesli
This was no doubt my childhood favorite. It is not refreshing, especially during the summer, and it is especially nutritious. The dish is named after Dr. Maximilian Bircher-Benner.
Dr. Bircher-Benner was one of the first to promote raw foods after he had Jaundice and claimed to be cured by eating raw apples. He researched the effects of raw foods on the our health, and as such was a great supporter of müesli a traditional Swiss dish based on oatmeal, fruit and nuts, that was eventually named after him. From what I was told as a child, he even cured children who were hospitalized in his clinic with malnutrition.
