Things Learned from Fondue Parties

Helped Dave out with a fondue themed dinner party last night – a good night with some fun meals. Starter was roasted camembert cheese with savoury dips, main was pork stew, and dessert was a chocolate fondue (white chocolate in one pot, a milk choc/maple syrup mix in the other).

Good times were had and the worst part – the clean-up job – went surprisingly well, but I think I’m going to have to introduce a new rule for certain attendees.

The proposed rule:

The next person who sets the cutlery on fire is getting set on fire.

Now if you excuse me, I’ve got to go back to scraping char off fondue forks.

  1. It’s coming up to bonfire night, I think I need to see something large on fire once a year or i’ll start setting forks on fire. I might make a creme brulee for this weeks recipe so i can set it on fire

  2. Tip for cleaning char off the forks (if you’re already done, perhaps for the next time ;)) : try using coca cola! in Holland we don’t only drink it, but also use it for cleaning rust off some stuff. (we don’t drink the coke we cleaned rust with ;)) Char and rust are both oxides, so it’d probably work.

      1. You’d still have to scrub a bit, though I wouldn’t use anything too hard or sharp, it could scratch’em up… I’d advise a firm brush, but the hairs in it should be still bendable. probably an ordinary dishwashing brush’d do. :).

      1. 3 comments on that.

        1. I trust Emma to have manners, so I’m sure she wouldn’t actually kill you. (I don’t know her personally, so i don’t know if she’d actually hurt you…)

        2. She’d only do it if you set the cutlery on fire again, so it’s actually up to you to decide whether she’ll destroy you, really.

        3. From what I can see now, I believe you’re friends. So she probably won’t kill you/finish you off.
