I had a "fondue party" once. It was a disaster. I was waiting for the oil to go up in flames so I sat at the dinner table with a fire extinquisher at the ready. Doesn't really make for a relaxing evening and I found that even although the oil was hot enough, everything tasted really oily. Needless, to say the fondue set gathered dust for many years.

I quite often do a fondue, but a cheese one - so no boiling oil involved. I love it when people come round because it breaks ice, and you can't have a frosty atmosphere when you are all diving into a couple of pots can you? I like it...I'm not so into Raclette..surely it must be fairly ' bog standard' in Atlantic/Quebec in the winter though - if not....what do you eat apres ski? Don't tell me bloody Mac Do!
