@drewnogal saidThanks drewnogal, but I never 'lose sleep' over things that happen on here.
There are jokes and there are jokes. I wouldn’t lose any sleep over it Rusty 😉
Perhaps I just didn't get the JOKE?

@shallow-blue saidWell, yeah, but that's just melted cheese, not anywhere near hot enough to actually bake anything in.
No... Swiss fondue.
@gambrel saidPeople are still into fondue. I mean it's not as insanely popular as it was back then, but in the right circles, it's still a "thing". I mean, what's not to like about fondue?
My late aunt was big into fondue when it was in style, 1969-73. She made steak fondue, little bits of tenderloin, cheese fondue, you could dip little biscuits or bits of soft pretzels, chocolate fondue we dipped cookies or doughnut holes.
After that it just sat on top of the refrigerator.

@gambrel saidIn about 1968 I took my then girlfriend to an “upscale” restaurant. She ordered beef fondue, saying she’d never had any kind of fondue. I forget why but the waiter brought her all the necessary ingredients but lagged behind on the oil filled pot. She asked how one proceeded. I said you screwed a piece of meat and cook it over the flame. She proceeded to do just that. A moment later the waiter appeared with the pot of oil. My girlfriend looked quizzically at him asking what it was for. He explained. She looked embarrassed and the waiter said, “Oh madame, that happens more often than you’d believe”. He was obviously much more suave than I.

@great-big-stees said1968? Gosh those were the days, the days when a fondue was “upscale”.

@suzianne saidWho are these fondue haters? Let them reveal themselves and be held accountable. Mind you I get quite a lot of thumbs down these days, and I don't even have to mention fondues....
Wow, three down thumbs for fondue.
Come on, I didn't think there were that many who hated fondue in the whole world.
-Removed-Probably not so much the post as the poster. Perhaps they don't like the fact that you and I have been through fire and brimstone together, have had our disagreements, and yet are firm friends.
Let's see how many that gets....
By the way, just as an additional controversial note; fondue.
Ah, but nobody expected me to confess to a deep seated hatred of fondue stemming from an accident in my early childhood whilst attempting to swim in molten cheese. I've dreamt of forming the fondue resistance ever since and now our numbers are growing. You may still feel safe melting cheese in the safety of your home, but are you??
