Fondue - the National Dish of Switzerland

The word Fondue comes from the French “fondre” which means “to melt”.

For many this ancient dish enjoys a certain mystique. You may be sure the Swiss themselves enjoyed this aura of mystery. At the World’s Fair in 1939 Americans who had never been and might never get to Switzerland first tasted the Fondue. A hit !! Back in 1939 however, Fondue and cheese were foods pretty much thought to be synonymous with the cooler months.
Times have certainly changed. Nowadays it is generally accepted that Fondue is as delightful served on a pleasant summer evening poolside as it ever was après-ski. In Switzerland Fondue is considered a whole meal not a “cheese dip”, however it is up to you if you want the Fondue as an appetizer, part of a buffet or as a main dish.
Traditionally, crusty (artisan) bread is served with the Fondue; other options are: chunks of apple or pears, grapes, cubes of boiled ham, potatoes etc. – be creative.
