Birnbrot

Birnbrot is a type of delicious bread that comes from Switzerland. It's called "birn" because it has pears in it and "brot" means bread. So it's basically pear bread!

But this isn't just any regular old bread. Birnbrot has lots of yummy things in it like raisins, almonds, and spices. It's kind of like a fruitcake but with pears instead of just fruit.

Swiss people usually eat birnbrot at Christmas time. They put it on the table and everyone can have some for dessert or as a snack. It's a special treat that people look forward to every year.

So if you ever find yourself in Switzerland around Christmas time, be sure to try some birnbrot! It's fruity, nutty, and delicious all at the same time.
