LOL The Swiss *invented* fondue. The kirsch or white wine is added to
the cheese in the pot. Just a little bit.

You don't have to have a fondue pot to make it. I just happen to have
one. And all the fondue forks for dipping the nice crusty bread, too.

You can make all sorts of cheese fondues. Cheddar with beer. Take a
look at your Betty Crocker cookbook, I'll bet there is a section for
appetizer or party recipes with cheese.
