There are etiquettes
of eating we all know but have you heard of etiquettes of eating a particular
dish? Fondue is one such dish from Italy; we should know how to eat while
attending any Fondue party.
The word “fondue”
deriving from a French verb fonder, literally meaning melted, and this single word simply explains the defining feature of
the famous dish. Fondue is the dish of melted cheese served in a communal pot
over a spirit lamp, and eaten by dipping long-stemmed forks with bread into the
cheese. Fondue was originated in Switzerland.
There are a
few dos and donts, which will help you eating politely as possible while
dipping food in a communal pot. I was at a Fondue party at one of my American friend’s
home in California, where I learned this one etiquette for sure that never ever
double dip; this violates fondue etiquette to the extreme. If you have dipped
into the pot once, and taken a bite of cheese covered bread, don’t add it back
into the pot. It’s unlikely the way we eat our samosa with chutney, dipping it
many times before finishing it. I wanted to load my bread piece with more
cheese though out of old habits, but I resisted for sake of others in the
party.
