The story

Berner Platte commemorates Bernese military victory in 1798 and gathers several cured and cooked meats with sauerkraut, beans and potatoes. The dish is recognised for berner platte. Its success depends on preserving the intended contrast of texture, seasoning and temperature, so the defining ingredient remains clear rather than being buried by garnish or sauce. It is a generous feast dish rather than an everyday plate, associated with communal celebrations in the canton of Bern.
