Saturday night we went to a dinner party and ate from 4:30 – 7:30 pm. That’s a pretty big deal for my husband and I who generally take 10 minutes to eat lunch.
It was my first fondue dinner, and I really enjoyed it.
We started with apple and french bread pieces to dip in a swiss cheese mix. Then our host and hostess had beef, chicken, shrimp, and lobster to cook in a boiling meat broth with a side of mixed vegetables. There was even a little bowl of butter over a tea light to dip our lobster or vegetables in.
Lastly…oh my…the dessert. was. marvelous. Pots of chocolate! And a plate full of sliced strawberries, bananas, pound cake, marshmallows, and raspberries. Delicious.
Plus this was an adult only dinner party. No kids. I didn’t have to cut a single piece of meat! For me or my munchkins.
It was hard to know how much I ate because I usually check the size on my plate. I just tuned in to my stomach and ate till I felt comfortable. Well, except for the chocolate. I ate a couple more strawberries than I probably should have; but they were so-o good!
It was people from my husband’s work and ya just never know, but the others were pleasant and comfortable to be around. They explained things and answered any questions I had without making me feel dumb for asking. There was lots of laughter and that is always the sign of a good party, right?
Have you had a fondue party? Have you gone to a fondue restaurant? Like it or hate it?

How exciting! We actually have a fondue party every year for New Years Eve. We LOVE fondue!! We do a swiss gruyere fondue, a cheddar fondue, garlic infused hot oil fondue that we dip raw shrimp and beef into and have sauces on the side and of course we do a chocolate fondue. Keep on doing the fondue!
I’ve totally never been to a fondue dinner, but there is a fondue restaurant down here that’s all you can eat. of course, it is also ridiculously expensive, but I’ve heard that it is pretty fun. I think it’s called the Melting Pot?
The dinner you attended sounds like it was alot of fun.

That looks so delicious! I once had fondue at a German restaurant and just about died. It was soooo good. Haven’t found anything to replicate that. It was so wonderful.
