A friend wrote and told me her daughter was thinking of me when she read about a festival in Switzerland where people walk around with onions on their heads. Intrigued, I did a little research and found Zibelemärit Onion Market in Bern on Monday 26th November and Räben-Chilbi Turnip Festival on Saturday 10th November.

Has anyone experienced these festivals and can recommend either of them? Should we organise a social, "meet at Zurich HB with onion/turnip"?
