Tuesdays can be a bit meh… well trust the Americans to perk us up and bring a bit of happiness in the form of melted cheese.
Yes folks, it’s National Cheese Fondue Day in the US and although it’s not a nationally recognised holiday here in Ireland that’s not going to stop us… it’s melted cheese for crying out loud.
We’ve decided to adopt the day as our own on behalf of all cheese lovers across the nation. Fondue seems to dip (HA) in and out of favour with foodies as decades go by, it’s a Swiss dish originally that popped up back in the 1930’s and was popularised by North America in the 1960’s.
It’s incredibly easy to make you simply melt cheese in a communal pot over a portable stove heated with a candle or lamp, you then eat the cheese by dipping bread into the cheese using long-stemmed forks.
Bread and cheese… why don’t we celebrate this here?
Of course, we all know chocolate fondue is also incredibly popular, we do not discriminate… you mark the day however you’d like.
The GENIUS below created a fondue masterpiece for Instagram and we will be using google translate to figure out exactly how he made this,
If you feel like something a little sweeter but still want to respect the tradition of the day, head to the Creme Egg Cafe in Dublin for some chocolate melted goodness.
(We’re aware there is no tradition…we’re starting one today).
