And of course do NOT forget the cherry brandy (or slibovitz) in the middle of it all ...

Otherwise it may KILL you ... .

I was talking about Fondue just yesterday with some workmates, and one of the ladies was telling us all about a "meat fondue" she went to once, which is when there is a pot of sizzling hot oil and assorted meat and everyone dips their meat into the oil, effectively frying it, and then there is a whole lot of delicious sauces to dip your freshly fried meat into.

Sounded delicious!

I think the options are... oil, cheese or chocolate. Went to a Fondue restaurant in USA a while back... they bought out not oil and a huge platter of diff meats, then cleared all that away and bought out a choc Fondue for dessert. A platter of diff fruits etc to dip in. . was very yummy!

one of the nicest things I ever had involving a fondue set in a way, was fresh pineapple cubed up that had been soaked in rum for a good while, we stabbed s cube, rolled them in brown sugar, carmallized them over the flame, then dipped into whipped cream, it was very very nice as a dessert.

This recipe was shared on the Trademe.co.nz message board.

My favourite was caramel fondue, made by caramelising sugar and adding cream. Absolutely delicious with fresh summer fruit and marshmallows. I must do it again sometime, still have the fondue set. I used to do it with meat in oil as well, with lots of different sauces. I think its time I had a 'retro' dinner party! !

going but to when I was little as in young primary school age, I LOVED meat fondue! Marinated steak and then cooked to a crisp! ! hehehehe I would "make" my meat fall off and tell everyone to leave it alone as it was mine even if it was theirs that came off! hahahaha

Been veggie for 30+ years now!
