Wow! That brings back some memories for me! I haven't had fondue in years, decades in fact. I recall going to some marvelous fondue parties with both cheese and chocolate fondue sets and it was great fun dipping your chopped veggies (crudites as I think they were called) into the hot, melted cheese. I remember getting my mouth burnt on many occasions in my eagerness! It was a great social occasion. The closest I come these days to fondue is dipping my marshmallow into the chocolate wonderfall at Golden Corral!
