Cheese fondue is hip again

I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever had a cheese fondue, or a fondue of any sort, actually. It was big in the 70s and then seemed to vanish for several years, and now it's rather cool again. Can shag carpeting and Dorothy Hamill haircuts be far behind?

Actually, it has always seemed like a cool thing to me, but I've just never been in a situation where someone had fondue. But I can change all that starting today. It's National Cheese Fondue Day! Here are some recipes from AllRecipes, and here's some background on fondue in general.

I am glad it's doing well again even though I won't be joining in anymore. Cheese and chocolate are just too bad on the cholesterol anymore.

Btw: my husband proposed to me at a Melting Pot restaurant and we fed each other strawberries dipped in chocolate to celebrate. Really great memory =)

Imagine my surprise when I followed the Allrecipes link and found a recipe I had submitted years ago! I didn't know that they had even posted it! :)

Actually fondue was "big" in the 60's and was more or less gone by the mid 70's. That said, a good fondue is very very good.
