Hi Dale,


 DS> That all depends on what sort of fondue you are talking about.  Our
 DS> daughter used to work at The Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant.  They

 RH> There's one of those in Raleigh, same plaza as Trader Joe's which we
 RH> plan to hit up tomorrow after my doctor's appointment. Depending on
 RH> the time, we might consider it for supper.

We ended up going elsewhere as it was too early to eat when we were in
the area.



 DS> We like them, but they do tend to be a specialty type of place.  They
 DS> are also not a place for a quick dinner.  Typical table time for a
 DS> full meal is two hours or more, as opposed to most restaurants one
 DS> hour.

Good for a time when you've no other plans


 DS> did put wine into many of their cheese fondue combinations, but it was

 RH> Hopefully it will be indicated on the menu if it is in the fondue.

 DS> It would be. Here is a link to the menu (with prices) for the Melting
 DS> Pot in Columbia.  The one nearer to you will probably be similar.

I'll have to check them out.


 DS> Many of the cheese fondue entries have beer or wine, but not all do.
 DS> The meat fondues have several choices without alchohol.

 DS> necessary.  We have done fondue at home years ago, and then it was
 DS> strictly beef cubes, cooked in peanut oil over sterno, and dipped into
 DS> a variety of sauces when cooked.  None of the sauces we used had

 RH> I've known that but was thinking of the cheese fondues in particular.

 DS> Something to consider the next time you stop by on the way north (or
 DS> return).

Sounds like a good idea. We've not planned any trips that way; the
semester just started and we've not thouht about what we'll do during
the break weeks. Probably stay here and study, maybe a day trip or 2. We
will probably plan a trip to check on my parents for early August if we
don't head up there before.

 DS>       Title: Fondue Sauces For Beef

 RH> All basic and easy. I guess you could probably use a bbq sauce or
 RH> other sauces if so desired. Katsu sauce (generally associated with
 RH> chicken) is a simple mix of ketchup and worchestershire--that was
 RH> offered at a lot of Korean or other Asian hole in the wall places in
 RH> HI. The L&L Drive In chain out west has it too. And, I should think a
 RH> sauce with some sesame in it would go well with beef; a bit of
 RH> brainstorming could produce lots of simple sauces.

 DS> Exactly.  It also helps to have the fondue plates that have sections
 DS> to keep the sauces separated from each other.

Those would be a big help. Are there usually sides to go with the fondue
as well, like rice and veggies for the beef or is it basically just the
meat and sauces?

Skinny because of all the work prepping the list of ingredients?
