What is a Swiss fondue and when should I eat it?
Swiss cheese fondue (fromage fondue) involves dipping bread cubes into a communal pot of melted cheese (typically Gruyere and Emmental with white wine and kirsch). It is traditionally a winter Alpine dish. Raclette (a wheel of cheese melted and scraped onto potatoes) is a related tradition. Both are best enjoyed in mountain restaurants in ski resorts.
