What is fondue?

No Comment

Fondue is a semi-liquid sauce dish that typically consists of melted cheese, chocolate or oil where diners will dip bread or other small cut items  into the sauce. Fondue is derived from the French verb, “fondre” which means to melt. Despite fondue’s origin of name, it is actually categorized as a Swiss dish.

Fondue is heated and served in a metal or ceramic bowl with flame underneath to keep the sauce warm and liquid. Common ways to heat a fondue are with a gel flame (like Sterno cans) or tea light candles.
