Ah yes, leave it to climbing friends with Wine of the Month memberships and eyes way bigger than their stomachs to host one of the most gluttonous evenings ever. We should've known, when seeing not 1, not 2, but 9, count them 9 baguettes upon arrival, that we were in for an evening that calls for the billowy pregnancy dress and ultra low-rise, have not been washed after multiple wearings, jeans.
Pictured above are:
1. Traditional Swiss Fondue. At least that's what I'm calling it, as it was made by a traditional swiss man. Ingredients included gruyere, emmental, white wine.
2. Crab Fondue. Ingredients included cream cheese, mayonnaise, crab meat.
3. Supposedly some other sort of fondue. I expected a broth of some type here. Instead, it was a vat of vegetable oil with a generous pat of butter. So we'll just call it the deep fryer.
Dippers included:
3 of the 9 baguettes. The Olive Demi-Batard from TJ's was a sure hit.
Steak.
Fuji apples.
Crimini mushrooms.
Blanched broccoli.
Sliced bananas.
Oh, and we had pizza too, which was satisfyingly dipped into all three fondue pots.
And then came dessert. Chocolate fondue, of course. It's a good thing I don't eat sugar, or they really would've had to gurney me out of there.
