fondue party
Communal dipping event
A fondue party is a social gathering where guests share food cooked or dipped in a communal pot of melted cheese, chocolate, or hot oil.
Popular in the 1970s, they've cycled in and out of fashion: We're throwing a fondue party this weekend.
The format encourages leisurely eating and conversation around a shared centerpiece.
