cheese fondue
Swiss melted pot
Cheese fondue is a Swiss dish of melted cheese blended with wine and seasonings, kept warm in a communal pot over a small flame.
Diners dip cubes of bread into the molten cheese using long forks.
The dish became a symbol of 1970s entertaining and retains nostalgic appeal: We broke out the fondue set for the dinner party.
