Hope nobody minds a newbie starting this but I've missed the last 2 saturday night DFW stay ins so thought I'd host tonight. Clearing out my kitchen revealed an old fondue pot and despite not being born until 1980 I used to love these, although we always had the oil ones not chocolate (sadly) or that icky cheese stuff! :lipsrseal

So, meat, veg and bread dutifully cubed - pick a coloured fork everyone!

    Of course to the X-factor! :)

    LittleL a fondue was a 70's dinner party fad. It's basically a ceramic pot of hot oil over a flame that sat in the middle of the dining table in which you cooked your own dinner on a type of fork.
