How Do Fondue...

[theCryptofishist]

Does fondue "work" out there? dusty cheese? Sterno going out?

[junglesmacks]

We can build cities, temples, double decker bus pirate ships.. but you're worried about fondue "working"?


It's virtually impossible to screw up melted cheese. Hence: there is no such thing as bad Mexican food.

[lemur]

it works.

unless you burn it.



signed: someone who suggested "just throw in tons of salt" after the cheese was burned.

I have had bad mexican food, but it was in Germany

Fondue? yum!

I have made both the sealed, toss in a pot kind, and from scratch while camping, but not in dusty conditions. The ready to go kind would be easy- it needs to be kept cool, but not refrigerated, so might be good to break out towards the end of the time. It tastes fresh, even when it isn't, and can resurrect dry slightly stale bread. A lot of modern fondue pots have a metal edge thingy to hold up the forks which provides cover for the bubbly cheese.

I have had campfire kinds made with beer and cream of celery soup- not as good as the real thing.

I always think the hot oil fondue, when I think of it........

Chocolate fondue...mmmm... Maybe there's some way to do solar heated chocolate fondue (for the greenies).

As someone who (A) grew up in the southwest, and (B) has been married to a Mexican for 25 years, I can assure you there is indeed "such a thing" as bad Mexican food. Just like there is such a thing as bad pizza, a bad cheeseburgers, bad grilled cheese sandwiches...

Just because you can melt some sort of cheese doesn't mean the food created isn't bad, it just means you're able to melt something.

We now take you back to your regular thread...

If you're looking for a brand new unused fondue set, go to the yard sale of someone married during the 50's or 60's. As a bonus, you can usually find the wedding card in the box--"Congratulations Malcolm and Edna".

I to encountered "bad" mexican food, but like BirthChazz I was asking for it, cause I ordered mexican in Bali last winter.... bad idea...

first thing that should have tipped me off was the waiter had to take my order 3 times, but it was a simple Quesidilla.... then when it came it was rolled up, like some sort of taco hybrid. tasted like a cats ass, not that's i've ever tasted a cat's ass, but if i did, I'm sure this taco concoction would have been fairly similar.

[moonrise]

I googled "dwindling cat population in Bali" The results were %$##@#&*&^!!!!! Oh maaaaan, sticky.... try dat!

I swear to you that although I'm sure it's possible, I've never had a truly bad of any one of those items. I'm sure it's possible.. but..

..annnnd now in craving grilled cheese at 6:57am.

I have been craving grilled cheese since I went non-dairy two years ago. It ALWAYS sounds good. I dreamt of dusty fondue....and bad mexican

[trilobyte]

I love the stuff, but have never done fondue on the playa. Sounds like a decadent treat, but is also seems like a big mess/cleanup potential (like it is back in defaultia).

[Drawingablank]

Chocolate fondue might be a better idea - the sun will easily melt chocolate and any residue / scraps will not decay and stink up the place.

[Ugly Dougly]

I have been craving ...

Yay! Oh, yay!

I knew I was right to skip the restaurant "Kahlo" in Innsbruck!

Sham! That would be perfect for the Home for Wayward Art!

some way to do solar heated chocolate fondue

This sent my brain bubbling. Build the fountain to operate when the sun reaches a certain point in the sky.

Fantastic Friday's Fabulous Fondue Feast?

[some seeing eye]

Suggest looking at Teflon or otherwise wipeable to clean F-pots. Wipes can be burned. Soft breads can get he last bit out. Breads mold on playa unless specifically cared for as you know.

[moonrise]

Fountain,,,,,, now you're talking! Surrounded with a vast collection of dippable delicacies.

What to dip in a playa proven, liqueur ladden, chocolate fondue pot? Pretzels? Grapes? Apple? Pears? Bacon?

[Elorrum]

Raclette... fondue without the pot. You heat the cheese and scrape off the melted part.

[TinkerMom]

So we could use FoxFur's flame thrower to melt the cheese and then scrape
off the melted part onto our crackers or bread.

Only problem is, when Fox get's his finger on the trigger, he goes all Spaceman Spiff on us, and your liable to end up with a burnt up blob of goo resembling a small asteroid.

[TinkerMom]

Well, then we put it in a catapult and fling cheese!!!!!!!!

Oh my! Mexican food in GERMANY? You were kind of asking for it there...

[forty_eight]

It's a fondueocracy.

Sadly, probably smarter than buying sushi in the Frankfurt main train station at 9pm at night. But this is what happens when you tell your small child- "ok we have 10 Euros left- you can have anything you want to eat, but it has to cost less than 10 Euros." We had been in Europe for 2 weeks, he chose what reminded him of home....

[AntiM]

Try Japan for bad Mexican meals. Yikes.
