A vegetarian dish found at many mountain inns is lpler Macaroni, spelled in various ways, such as Magronen, Maccaroni, Macaronen, Makkaronen. Macaroni is baked with grated cheese and slivers of onion and usually served with a side dish of Apfelmus, applesauce. There is very little variety in la carte desserts at mountain inns. A typical half-pension dinner consists of soup, then perhaps salad, a plate of meat with potatoes or noodles and vegetables, and often a dessert. Vegetarians can request the main course without the meat.
Breakfast is light.
The butter and jam often come in individual wrapped portions. There may be cheese, either in wrapped portions or else slices of fresh alp cheese. Some inns serve orange juice, and some offer cold cereal such as Muesli or cornflakes. Some offer a plate of sliced cold meat. Some few provide a roll as well as bread.
