Anyone old enough to remember fondue?

Opened a box last week with a complete fondue set. Last used at least twenty years ago. 

So we got some gruyere and Emmental , white wine etc.

It will probably be another twenty years before we get it out again. Might sell it on ebay.  Stillgot the original box!

Anyone still use a fondue set regularly?Maybe something more adventurous like cooking meat in boiling oli or strawberries in molten chocolate?

1979 iirc.
At a dinner party given by the bil of a greatly missed friend.
A great palaver over a bit of cheese.
Make a great evening for a retro period dressed party though.



Nah, ......sell it.
Don.

WTF is boiling oli? 

[Varche]

I am surprised you don't remember when you were younger in medieval times, boiling oil was poured on unwelcome visitors to your castle.

Very Jerry and Margot, couple bottles of blue nun, and as a main course a Vesta curry, and for afters keys on the coffee table.

[Varche]

Blue nun. Is that still available?

After eight mint and a creme de menthe from a bottle in the depths of the drinks cupboard from that exotic holiday abroad.

[STEMO]

Blue nun was a Liebfraumilch if I remember correctly, maidens pisswater. A small bottle of Nutcracker mixed with cider for the proper lads. 

[biggriffin]

For those who wish to indulge, bet the lord has some in the cellar.

We had one when I was little, as we'd been throughout Europe etc, and Mum liked to think she was all posh

I only ever remember it coming out a few times, and only once used properly for fondue rather than some of Mum's other strange concoctions at the time.

I get a strange feeling she may still have the set, as a bit of an ornament, on her dining room unit.  I'll pay more attention next time.

I know we've got one like that. It's never been used as Dad is more interested in state of the French polish on the table.

I went to a dinner party a few years ago where they had the fondue full of hot oil in the middle of the table and plates of different meats. 

We each had a skewer and could choose and cook our own meat. Accompanied with a jacket potato and salad it was a tasty meal, and a fun evening.

So you dip your meat in hot oil? Very strange...

Lord Opti has one!
