Cheese fondue is a traditional Swiss meal that came from the Alps, primarily around the canton of Valais (French)/ Wallis (German).
It's a meal made from melted cheese (gruyere and emmentaler) and other active ingredients, such as garlic, white wine, a little cornflour/corn starch and frequently kirsch (cherry brandy), provided at the table in an unique ceramic pot called a caquelon, with a little burner below it to keep the fondue at consistent temperature level.
The term 'fondue' has actually concerned explain other meals where food is dipped into a pot of hot liquid, such as fondue bourguignonne (beef prepared in hot oil) and chocolate fondue. Fondue is constantly served as the main course, not an appetiser or as part of a multicourse dish. Its fantastic dish to share with your buddies.
