I'm not going to fix that typo, that stays right there for others to chuckle over!

In the US in the 1960s fondue dishes were all the rage. Everyone had the chafing dish (usually a wedding present) for parties. Then it literally went away. There are modern dipping fads (can anyone say "chocolate fountain?") but mostly it went away. I'm curious to see if there is a little resurgence in North Texas - my daughter sent photos of a fondue lunch she and friends had during a side trip to Switzerland. They were enraptured. I have some ancient cookbooks my mother collected, and I'm sure fondue is in at least a couple of them somewhere. I'll have to pull them out.
