We all love toasted snacks. some of them were invented for specific reasons. Fondu was one, toasted Cheese is another. I don't know if any of you have done fondue.
a full fondue meal begins with Cheese in a warmer of some kind and various other items to dip.
Entree brings on meats and a broth. meat cut into approx 2 bites. and vegetables in one bite sizes.
Dessert is either chocolate )White to dark and all the variations between. your tray of dipping items will now be fruits and bits of cake.
the entire meal is designed to be a full meal. but, the meat is uncooked. as are the veg. the reason is, you are to cook them, bite for bite, in the warm broth
This was a preferred Courting Meal a few centuries ago. designed to keep the couple under watchful eyes, to protect the young lady's honor but also gives the couple time to get to know one another without worrying about gossips.
So, cook on the table methods have been around for a long time. Fondue takes that meal a step further. At The Melting Pot, they serve meals in this manner.
another great courting indulgence is toasted cheese.
Cut whatever shees you like into cubes. ine by one, you put the cheese on the tines of the fork or on a skewer, and toast them in the flame of a candle. Both of these were used in the 1700s & 1800ss and likely, much earlier for the purposes of public privacy.
these kinds of traditions around food fascinate me.
If you ahve some that You enjopy, I'd love to hear the stories.
