Anyone old enough to remember fondue?
Opened a box last week with a complete fondue set. Last used at least twenty years ago.
So we got some gruyere and Emmental , white wine etc.
It will probably be another twenty years before we get it out again. Might sell it on ebay. Stillgot the original box!
Anyone still use a fondue set regularly?Maybe something more adventurous like cooking meat in boiling oli or strawberries in molten chocolate?

1979 iirc.
At a dinner party given by the bil of a greatly missed friend.
A great palaver over a bit of cheese.
Make a great evening for a retro period dressed party though.
Nah, ......sell it.
Don.

WTF is boiling oli? ;D ::)

I am surprised you don't remember when you were younger in medieval times, boiling oil was poured on unwelcome visitors to your castle. ;D

Very Jerry and Margot, couple bottles of blue nun, and as a main course a Vesta curry, and for afters keys on the coffee table.
-
Blue nun. Is that still available?
After eight mint and a creme de menthe from a bottle in the depths of the drinks cupboard from that exotic holiday abroad.
-
Blue nun was a Liebfraumilch if I remember correctly, maidens pisswater. A small bottle of Nutcracker mixed with cider for the proper lads. ;D

For those who wish to indulge, bet the lord has some in the cellar.

We had one when I was little, as we'd been throughout Europe etc, and Mum liked to think she was all posh ;D
I only ever remember it coming out a few times, and only once used properly for fondue rather than some of Mum's other strange concoctions at the time.
I get a strange feeling she may still have the set, as a bit of an ornament, on her dining room unit. I'll pay more attention next time.

I know we've got one like that. It's never been used as Dad is more interested in state of the French polish on the table.

I went to a dinner party a few years ago where they had the fondue full of hot oil in the middle of the table and plates of different meats. :)
We each had a skewer and could choose and cook our own meat. Accompanied with a jacket potato and salad it was a tasty meal, and a fun evening. :y

So you dip your meat in hot oil? Very strange...
