So interesting for this to come up. Just a couple weeks ago, I attended my very first fondue party. It was wonderful!! We had oil for marinated meat strips and I did mushrooms in it that were very tasty. We had a broth fondue for veggies and a cheese fondue for bread and veggies. Everything was delicious and I couldn't stop eating!!!
Later we had chocolate fondue with fruit and cake squares. OMG I was sooooo stuffed but was I ever happy. There were 4 couples which was just the right size group for reaching the pots and good conversation. The pots were in the center of the table and we all could reach each of them. We used the bamboo skewers for poking and cooking or dipping each item. Get one, you will love it.
I want to get one for just DH and I, too, because the food tasted so good that way.
