I was utterly delighted to run across the word Bündnerfleisch today in the company history of Multi-Contact I'm translating. It's a uniquely Baseler type of deli meat, a spiced dried beef, but its chief claim to recent global fame is this absolutely charming attack of laughter year before last on the part of Switzerland's finance minister Hans-Rudolf Merz, trying to read some Euroswiss import/export regulations to Parliament and breaking down entirely when it mentioned the meat in question.
