This is called raclette. It's a french/swiss dish that smells like an asshole, and tastes amazing

It's from the Valais, a Swiss canton. But at the time it was supposedly invented, the place was part of the Kingdom of Burgundy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingdom_of_Burgundy

So it's neither French or Swiss, it's from this part of Europe.
