FAQs

Can fondue be sweet or savoury? ›

Both savory and sweet versions are usually heavy, so a fondue for dinner and one for dessert is a bit much. If you're serving cheesy dips as your main course, serve fruit for dessert. On another night, host a dessert-only fondue party with lots of chocolate or creamy butterscotch fondue.

What are the four types of fondue? ›

There are four commonly prepared types of fondue. They are cheese fondue, chocolate fondue, oil fondue (also known as meat fondue), and broth fondue.

What can I serve in addition to fondue? ›

Sauteed artichoke hearts, as well as almost any mushroom (crimini, shiitake, oyster, or sliced portobellos) are delicious additions to the tray of fondue dippers. And if you need something quick that can be served raw, try celery, fennel spears, carrots, and cherry tomatoes.

What should you not do with fondue? ›

Fondue rules

You must not double dip, and never put your fork directly into your mouth.

Is broth or oil better for fondue? ›

When making fondue, the first thing to consider is what type of ingredients you want to use; if you are a vegetarian, you may prefer the oil. The oil is also a healthier option because it contains no fat or calories. However, if you like meat and cheese, the broth is better because it has more flavors.

Why did fondue lose popularity? ›

Like any other food fad, the fondue was not meant to last as a trend. By 1999, amid allegations of corruption and concerns over the high costs of cheese subsidies and fondue's decline in popularity, the Schweizer Kaseunion collapsed.

What are the rules of fondue? ›

Never eat directly off the fondue fork. Never forget your food in the pot. Never pour the contents of the pot onto your plate. Never cut in line when it's not your turn to dip.

What is the most common fondue? ›

Swiss cheese fondue is traditionally a blend of firm, mountain-style cheeses: Gruyere, Emmental, and Appenzeller.

What is the best meat for fondue? ›

You can absolutely use pork, chicken, or even seafood in your fondue instead. For pork, go for pork loin (not tenderloin), which is a thick cut with a little fattiness that will keep it soft in the fondue pot. Both light and dark chicken meat will work, but chicken breast is ideal.

What cheese is best for fondue? ›

Best Cheese for Fondue

This fondue recipe calls for Gruyère and Swiss cheeses because they're creamy, buttery, and melt smoothly. Other good choices include Gouda, fontina, and Emmental.

What is traditionally served with fondue? ›

Bread is an excellent choice for cheese fondue because it soaks up the warm cheese and creamy flavors, creating a delicious combination. There are so many options to choose from for this classic side, such as French baguettes, sourdough, breadsticks, bagels, croutons or pretzels.

Should vegetables be cooked for fondue? ›

Plan on cooking, steaming and blanching veggies and potatoes an hour or so before the party. Don't serve damp veggies. Cheese fondue won't stick to damp veggies, so make sure they're dry before serving. There's nothing sadder than watching fondue slide right off your broccoli and back into the pot.

What do French eat with fondue? ›

This classic recipe from Savoie in the Alps of eastern France makes a delightful start to a dinner, or can be a meal in itself, accompanied by cured meats (prosciutto, bresaola, thinly sliced hard sausage), little boiled potatoes, cornichons (little pickles) and a green salad to lighten things up.

Can savoury be sweet? ›

We know more about the delicate act of balancing sweet flavours with savoury than we think. It's why you find fruit, jam, and honey on your cheese plate, and sugar is probably hiding in some of your favourite savoury foods and dishes: curries, Asian dishes and cured meats are rarely made without sugars of some sort.

Does savory mean sweet or salty? ›

The most basic difference between the two is that sweet food has a dominant taste of sugar or honey, while savoury food is full-flavoured and predominantly salty.

Is fondue always cheese? ›

As you can imagine, cheese is by no means the only type of fondue. Fondue bourguignonne is a variation featuring hot oil instead of cheese, and chunks of meat in place of the bread.
