Absolutely. Actually Savoie belonged to Italy until the 19th century I think. (Lemme check… yes, 1860. fairly recent) So borders were not really borders. And in fact the people from savoie have the tiniest accent, a bit similar to the Swiss. 8Don’t tell them that!)
Yes it was a subject of debate where fondue and raclette came from but I can imagine in the old days the French Swiss border mattered less and the mountain region.
I understand you are a “shroom” addict. Now that you are in France, in the odd chance that you might skiing again, you can enjoy a “Raclette”? Or a “fondue Savoyarde”? (The Savoyards claim that the Swiss stole their fondue. The Swiss argue to the contrary) 🙂

I love eggs and omelette au fromage et champignons would be a dream meal.

Hope they’re not mexican mushrooms.
(Hmmm. Une omelette aux champignons…)
(Do you eat eggs, being vegetarian?)
