fondues
Hot cheese dishes
Fondues is the plural of fondue, a dish where diners dip food into a communal pot of melted substance—traditionally cheese or chocolate, or hot oil for cooking meat.
The word comes from French for "melted." We served cheese and chocolate fondues at the party.
The plural typically appears when multiple types are offered.
