Hi everyone, I remember fondly fondue pots in the 1960's when I was a teenager. We had one and still have it, we now use it for heating items on a buffet table. I can remember the first time we used it, my younger brother and I and my mom thought it was great. My dad didn't. I remember my mom made a really great cheese kind of fondue, that we had pieces of soft garlic type bread to dip into it. My dad's bread kept falling off his long fork and I think my brother was the one who retrieved all of my dad's bread and ate it. Needless to say, dad probably did not get much to eat and probably ended up eating a sandwich, probably knockwurst. We still use the pot, for heating things on a party table, but I could not begin to know where those really neat long forks went. I guess my dad did not realize being of German ancestry, what a German Tradition he was doing. I will have to remind him of the experience and see if he remembers. Thanks for reminding us all of us baby boomers and our fondue pots in the 60's. Back then we did not realize we were just carrying on a German Tradition. Karen JENTER Michigan USA

Cheese fondue with french bread is absolutley wonderful! Very filling, too!
