The Gommer Cholera
There are many stories about the origin of the name "Cholera". One explanation is that it comes from the time when cholera broke out in Valais and trade and bartering of food was forbidden. The savory cake was prepared from what the peasant household gave: flour, onions/leeks, apples, potatoes and cheese.
