For those who have never heard of such a thing, fondue is a
Swiss dish of melted cheese: that at least is the short definition, but how to
describe what fondue really is… a wonderful meal usually shared with family or
close friends as it involves dipping long two-pronged forks into a communal pot
in which cheese has been melted into white wine. Now that’s the dry description
– again how to explain the setting (usually some chalet with wooden ceilings,
checked red and white table clothes, waiters and waitresses in typical Swiss
costumes – you’re on your own here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fondue
the ambiance, the joy in such a simple meal of bread and cheese.
Needless to say, for those of us who live here, there are
many animated discussions as to the best type of fondue, the best restaurant
for fondue, what drink should accompany it, in any case: it is still a treat.
