I am also struck by the come-back of the fondue. A few years ago it was definitely passé, but these past weeks the supermarket shelves have been groaning with ready-to-cook meat-fondue packages. (Won’t they spoil?) We had fondue bourguignonne in here once, a couple of years ago. The damage: several first- and second-degree burns, a number of dresses and suits to the cleaner’s, one singed wig, charred meat, and two staff members who finally blew their tops. A complete shambles!
