Since most of Liechtenstein's local dishes such as Hafaaab, stem from grandmother's time, they seldom appear on a restaurant menu today.
Another dish from the past, the Kasknopfle (tiny dumplings with cheese) is still served in some restaurants. Recipes of some of the most popular Liechtenstein dishes are included in the Gastronomy Guide.
In recent years, incidentally, Liechtenstein restaurants have, to a greater extent, added such genuinely original meals to their menus as for instance, Liechtensteiner Reuchteller, Alplerrosti, Geschnetzelte Schweinsleber mit Rosti, Bura-Topf, Kratzere mit Apfelmus, etc.
