bacon, surimi, salami...anything that tastes good with cheese

smileeah, Dec 22, 3:22am
lightly steamed cauliflower, carrot and any other vege u fancy
gerkins
olives
cocktail onions
baby corn (from a can)
fried mushrooms
cubed meats such as ham, salami, etc
and lots of day old cubed french bread

By the way you may find a dry white wine goes better with a fondue.

We used to (back in 70's) put oil into the pot and then cook things like cubes of steak, sausage, fish dipped in batter etc.Not very healthy but yummy and a very social meal.

for one of my daughters' bithdays (16th?) I had a fondue party. We had a cheese, a chocolate and an oil. I did all the usual and also made some bread dough, rolled it into tiny balls and deep fried them in the oil as we went. As they came out the girls dipped them in sugar and cinnamon. Hmmm.
