For the Love of Cheese


I've been happily rocking out on biryani and lamb rogan josh for the past week.  That said, fondue is going to top my things-to-eat-when-I-get-home list.  Although, totally pro dipping things in hot cheese.  The article denigrates the proud kitsch heritage of fondue.  I can't really find fault with a food that evokes images of Rhoda and Mr. Grant kibitzing at one of Mary's legendarily disastrous parties.  My mother had one in iconic Harvest Gold.  I don't remember her ever using it, though.  It just took up space on a high display shelf in the kitchen, along with the equally ubiquitous ginormous carved woooden fork and spoon, a wire basket filled with plastic fruit, and various other dusting nightmares.  Now, I have two of my own.  One in stainless steel--the Harvest Gold of the 90s.  February is fondue month!  Tell a friend.
