Meal: Fondue

Fondue is Switzerland's most renowned and traditional dish. Fondue consists of cheese, typically Gruyere and Emmental; white wine, usually Fendant; and a splash a Kirsch, a Swiss cherry liquor mixed together in an earthenware pot called a "caquelon" over low heat. Once melted together the caquelon is placed on a stand over a small flame to maintain the consistency while on the table. Fondue, which means to melt in French, is consumed with pieces of bread placed on a long fork and is drunk with Fendant wine.
