Cheese Fondue (Cheese Fondue) is one of the national dishes of Switzerland, few people in Switzerland do not like cheese fondue, delicious, no trouble, so young and old, popular.

Especially when the weather is cold, cheese fondue is a common meal in the Swiss winter, people can eat cheese fondue at home, in restaurants, many areas even have cheese fondue vending machines, and some people even in the office will come to a simple small cheese fondue as afternoon tea.

Coming to Switzerland without eating cheese fondue is like going to Beijing without eating roast duck, so everyone should try authentic cheese fondue in Switzerland. There are some traditional "rules" for eating fondue in Switzerland, but you can also deviate from the rules and everyone can eat fondue the way they like best.

My cheesy head is so satisfied! It is said that there are three kinds of cheese, one into the store to smell a sour smell, it is estimated that the cheese is unique, do not love cheese baby may have a little unbearable. With sourdough bread and potatoes, the cheese tastes salty, personally like to match with potatoes, potatoes come with sweet, soft and waxy taste, this big pot of cheese is really to me to eat!

A Swiss cheese pot is a saucepan, an alcohol stove and a long-handled fork are standard with fondue.

The bottom of a pan

A fondue pot is melted with one or more different cheeses. Traditionally, just white wine, freshly ground pepper, garlic, and some add a dash of nutmeg.

garnish

The classic way to eat it: The only necessary side dish is bread, and only bread, everything else is optional! Typical hotpot croutons are cut from white bread, but whole wheat bread is also good. Another great pairing is with boiled baby potatoes. Here's a tip: day-old bread is better than same-day bread because it absorbs cheese more easily.

Other garnishes, such as gherkins, pickled Onions, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, peppers, asparagus, corn, etc., can be used according to their own preferences.

beverage

Serve with a strong dry white wine (such as Fendant or Waadtlander Chasselas), champagne, mild black tea, or (especially for children) apple juice or water.

It has long been said that eating cheese fondue should not be paired with red wine, but it is actually a misconception: red wine is fine, but it is best not to be paired with tannin heavy red wine.

However, carbonated drinks and beer are not suitable for fondue because they are bad for digestion.

Before serving the hot pot, suitable starters include some dried meat (such as Bundnerfleisch, Walliser jerky or Mostbrockli), raw vegetable sticks or fresh salad. You can skip the appetizers, of course.

dessert

If you have room for dessert after the fondue, finish it off with a fresh fruit salad and light ice cream.

On days when the cold wind is blowing and the snow is about to fall, enjoy a steaming, high-calorie fondue dish.
