Good evening, welcome to our series sharing Food Holidays: November, 2021 National Fondue Month. I have a question for you. Have you ever had Fondue? Did you like the Fondue or not? For my family Charlie and I haven’t had Fondue even though I love Cheese.
As for David I’m not sure if he has had Fondue or not. But what I can tell you is we do have a Fondue pot and it looks like its time to get it out and use the Fondue Pot. Especially with Charlie taking Homeschool Cooking. Would you like to join us for Fondue and if so what would you like and why?
Fun with Fondue Month
Fondue is one of the tastiest, most Social Meals you can put together. It makes sense to celebrate this wonderful dish in the blustery month of November. If you can’t make it out to the famed restaurant La Buvette des Bains in Geneva to try the authentic version of Fondue? There is no, reason to worry. With a Fondue Pot Fondue is easy enough to make and share with your favorite people.
HOW TO OBSERVE NATIONAL FUN WITH FONDUE MONTH
- Standard Fondue Pots are made of ceramic and cast iron. A Fondue set will include forks and its own burner.
- t’s essential that you share the deliciousness of Fondue with your friends. Ask people to bring sides or drinks while you whip up different versions of Fondue.
- From Brothy Fondue Chinoise to Oily Fondue Bourguignonne or Wine-flavored Fondue Vigneronne, it’s easy to break away from just having Cheese or Chocolate.
4 FASCINATING FONDUE FACTS
- As part of its promotion of Fondue, the Swiss Cheese Union invented the phrase “Fondue isch guet und git e gueti Luune” — translated to “Fondue is good and creates a good mood”, and abbreviated as “figugegl.”
- A tradition says that if a person loses their piece of bread while dipping into the Fondue Pot, he or she buys drinks all around.
- Fondue etiquette requires no double-dipping and no eating from the dipping fork.
- Citizens of Geneva only drink Hot Tea or Cold White Wine with their Fondue. Drinking anything else will cause indigestion.
- Traditionally, Fondue in Switzerland is accompanied by a plate of Pickles, Pearl Onions, and Dried Meats.
WHY NATIONAL FUN WITH FONDUE MONTH IS IMPORTANT
- Dipping Sauce kept warm throughout a blustery fall or Winter evening making Fondue the definition of comfort.
- Imagine this: a delicious sauce in a single pot, lots of morsels to dip, and many forks. Fondue is the perfect recipe for a get-together with a bunch of friends for great conversation.
- In one night, you can move from a Beer and Cheese Fondue to a Thai Lemongrass Fondue. Then, transition to Fondue with Chicken or Pork. Then finish the meal off with Chocolate, Caramel, Butterscotch, or S’mores Fondue.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
