Normally we'd reply with "please don't do regional flamewar on HN" but this sounds so good-humored to me that I've canceled the (no doubt well-intentioned) downvotes instead.

Edit: now someone is going to tell me how mean internecine Swiss conflict actually is...

As someone who lives in Switzerland, but is not Swiss, I love this kind of thing. It’s an insight into an internal cultural understanding I didn’t get growing up and doesn’t really come up in the conversations I have day to day.

There's an entire ditch between the French-speaking and German-speaking parts of Switzerland, filled with Röschti to keep the two apart. True story!
