Food Scout: Election day Chrempfli (aka hazelnut turnovers)
The canton of Appenzell Inner Rhodes is perhaps best know for its Landsgemeinde, when its 3,000-odd citizens gather in the town square for the cantonal assembly and vote by show of hand (or sword). Lesser known is the related treat, the Chrempfli or hazelnut turnover. Amy Eber visits fourth and fifth generation bakers Alfred and Markus Sutter in the kitchen of Boehli Bakery to learn about the traditional sweet pastry strongly associated with election day.
