The cuisine of Liechtenstein is diverse, having been influenced by the cuisine of nearby countries, particularly Switzerland and Austria,[1][2] as well as other countries in Central Europe.[3] Cheeses and soups are integral to Liechtensteiner cuisine, and milk products are also commonplace in the country, due to an expansive dairy industry.[2] Common vegetables include greens, potatoes, and cabbage, while widely consumed meats include beef, chicken and pork. The consumption of three meals a day is commonplace, and meals are often formal.[2]
