Tips for a Flawless Fondue Experience
- Don't eat too much cheese, it expands in your stomach and makes for a very unpleasant tummy-ache.
- Sit back and get comfortable, (with one leg tucked behind the other and proper posture, of course!) fondue takes a while.
- Experiment with different combinations and offer to make something for the person seated next to you. It's the culinary version of being the life of the party!
- Just because you're roasting, grilling, dipping and boiling your own food, don't forget your manners! Say please and thank-you and don't forget to pass nicely.
- Never eat off the fondue fork, and be wary of other diners' dietary restrictions/preferences.
- Drink plenty of water and eat slowly. Since the servings are so small anyhow, savour every bite!
- As at any dinner party, be sure to contribute your share of conversation, but don't be too stuffy- enjoy yourself, enjoy the food, enjoy the company! And of course, offer your services to the host/ess by way of preparation, serving and/or set-up.
After the fondue is put away, make sure to take part (and do your very best to win) any board or card games offered. And most importantly, even if you spill cheese on your lap, pour wine down your neighbour's back, or knock the fondue pot off its stand (try not to....) always thank your host/ess at the end of the evening.
Happy Fonduing!
