Oh meat fondue was good! We used a combo of oils when I was a kid, IIRC,
one of them being peanut. My mom always had beef cubed up, chicked cubed
and we had shrimp. We'd take one of each, fry it in the oil, wait and then
my mom (god bless her, *I* would never make meat fondue because of all the
work!) had all these different sauces to dip the meat into. With meat
fondue it's all about the sauce. My mom would make a variety of about 8 or
9 of them to try. One key was always a sweet/sour, almost teriyaki because
all three were good in that.
