Fondue

Fondue is a Swiss dish that involves melting cheese and serving it in a communal pot, where diners dip pieces of bread or vegetables using long forks. The cheese mixture often includes varieties like Gruyère and Emmental, seasoned with garlic, white wine, and sometimes a splash of kirsch (cherry brandy). Similar variations exist for chocolate fondue, where melted chocolate is used for dipping fruits and pastries. Fondue promotes social dining, as friends and family gather around the pot, making it a popular choice for gatherings and celebrations.
