Fondue Feast

To celebrate back to school day, we had a fondue feast last night. Oh and what a feast it was. Of course I don't have any pictures of it, we were all consumed in, well, consuming it to be bothered with pictures. So, we'll have help from google.

First we started with our lovely CHEESE course. It was comprised of med. cheddar, swiss, and mozzarella cheeses. We dipped thick sourdough bread and tart green apples.

Next was our meat course. We use a broth to cook the meat this time. It was a beef base with all sorts off seasonings. We cooked pork loin, sirloin steak, and some kielbasa. Mandarin sesame dipping sauce was for the pork, while the blue cheese cream was served with the steak. Lindsay tried both of them and liked them. Abbey turned her nose up at both sauces.
Last and certainly not least, we had the chocolate course. Have you ever been to the bulk food section of a grocery store and you see those huge hunks of chocolate? Well I couldn't resist and got one. We had half dark and half milk chocolate and some half and half to smooth it out. I think we could have just used spoons and eaten the chocolate plain. We did however dip strawberries, bananas, and cheesecake. Maaaavolous!
The whole process took a bit of time to prepare and about two hours to consume. We had wonderful conversation and great family time. I highly suggest you go out and get yourselves a fondue pot, or dust off one that you already have. Not only was it delicious, it was a memory to last forever.

Do You Fondue?

I think that sounds fantastic. I have never had fondue, but it was a family tradition in my husband's family. Maybe it is a tradition I will try. :)
