April 11th: National Cheese Fondue Day
Cheese Fondue dervies from Switzerland. Fondue comes from the french word ‘fondre’ which means ‘to melt’ and ‘fondu’ which means ‘melted’.
Traditionally fondue was was shared at a table in an earthenware pot over a small burner. Today fondue is kept melted in a fondue dish which is heated by a tea light candle or an alcohol burner.
On a long, thin fork people pick up small bits of food and dip them into their cheese fondue. Foods such as breads, vegetables and meat can be used.
