We have had Cheese Fondue bought from Europe and we have also tried our hands to make our home cheese fondue concoction. Why did we came to a point to prepare our home made cheese fondue are mainly because it is hard to find pre-mix and pre-prepare fondues in our local grocery stores/supermarket's, some of our friends are not acquainted with the cheese ingredients used and the heavy taste of Kirsch(Swedish liqueur).


The ready made fondue packages bought and supplied by my brother-in-law is always bought on his trips to Europe, is his and our favourite at our get together. It is laced with Kirsch and a bit heavy on the liqueur taste. Thus, it might also be unsuitable for children. With that in mind, therefore me and Gill have experimented mixing different types of cheese that can be source locally at lower prices to make the cheese mix and also tried using different types of wines as the base. After many tries, we achieved success but I have forgotten what I used and at what proportion. Damn!
Last Christmas, at Cold Storage Gurney Plaza we chance upon a ready made cheese fondue from France. We still have that packet in storage, and are waiting for the right occasion to try.

As for the side-dishes or complimentary food to take with the cheese fondue, we have also tested with different types of meat and bread. So far our favourite is the c
hinese roast pork, grilled sausages and toasted bread. Another good companion with the cheese fondue is wine and friends. But caution is needed when savouring fondue with friends unless you have intentions, do not let the cheese drip to the table or floor, if it does drip you would have to kiss the person next to you. So remember do not sit beside person of the same sex!
Other fondues that we are planning to experiment with are olive oil fondue and chocolate.
