Nice to see you enjoying some classic Swiss food. Little info for those who are interested: The Beef fondue that you had was the Fondue bourguignonne, where you fry the meat in oil. There is also the Fondue Chinoise (side note, Fondue Chinoise, or chinese fondue, is based on Chinese hotpot), where you cook the meat in broth. My Family and I mostly eat these dishes and including Raclette in the autumn or winter. Keep it up! A random viewer from Switzerland.

[@coucoubrandy1079]

Actually it's Mongol fondue better known as Chinese fondue. Sorry

[@tossapixeltoyournoelle]

Wow that must be nice

[@lschoenrank]

I make a chocolate fondue for family and friends each year on New Year's Eve. What I discovered early on, is that if the fondue pot uses only milk chocolate, people can only eat a few bites before they hit sugar overload and don't want any more. So I use Bernard Callebaut chocolate slabs - about 50% milk chocolate, and 50% dark chocolate. Most of the sweet taste then comes from the fruit and people will eat more fruit and really enjoy their fondue a lot longer.

[@FlavorofMind]

Didn't expect this episode, but it's a 5 star experience seeing Mike plow through some fine looking fondue and hanging in Geneva. What a beautiful city!

[@elainecooper169]

I've had all 3 fondues. My parents had a fondue pot when I was growing up. Glad you had your first experience of them in the place it originated. Aren't they just scrumptious?! I too love the dessert and cheese ones over the beef.

[@hubertl75]

Actually, the cheese fondue is Swiss but the meat fondue (fondue bourgignone) originates from Dijon (Burgundy fondue).

[@Sicmania10]

@@hubertl75 you are right, but the fondue bourgignone is quite seldom in Switzerland, i was suprised to see him eating it. The Swiss version is with bouillon and not with hot oil

My mother is from Switzerland the Italian part of Switzerland and she always made fondue for us. Both the cheese and the chocolate fondue, I never had the meat fondue. When I was a little and my mom would throw me a birthday party she would ask me what type of cake I’d like and I would always say I didn’t want cake. I wanted a chocolate fondue so she always made chocolate fondue for my birthday party and my little friends and that’s a really nice memory I have of my mom

Would that be Ticino/Tessin? Seems like a cool region, I don't know much.

[@ReyOfLight]

I had some kind of meat fondue in Malmö, Sweden once back in 2012 when meeting up with some online friends. We were 2-4 people per fondue pot and just having a great time chatting over good food. I cherish that memory and would definitely go back to that restaurant again if going back to Malmö, if that restaurant is still in business that is. I moved back to my home town close to Gothenburg shortly after that restaurant visit and haven’t been back to the south part of Sweden since. I lived in Copenhagen at that time though, and also lived in Malmö for a while before that. Lived in Copenhagen or Malmö for almost 5,5 years, before moving back to my hometown. Fond(ue) memories from my time there though

@@dvadatarunners6504 I know, I am Swedish! And I did mention I tried it in Sweden. I’ve never visited Switzerland though so want to go there one day, and would try the real Swiss fondue when going. The fondue place I went to in Sweden was however similar to the beef fondue that Mikey had in Switzerland and it’s a really nice type of meal, especially together with friends

[@summersands8105]

I love fondue. I have 3 pots and use them regularly. We get them going on a game night and have a ball playing Mahjong and eating cheese, meat and/or chocolate fondues. Such a great meal to share with friends and take your time to savor whatever you're eating. If you have one around you, it's worth going to the Melting Pot for a fondue experience if you've never had one. Very pricey, but it's worth it for the experience.

The reason they look good is because they eat real food. Real cheese, real vegetables, real meat, real fruit, real chocolate. They're not all eating Fruity Pebbles and McDonalds and Taco Bell all day. Also they live in the alps, they're walking everywhere, fresh air, clean water. They take care of their environment and their bodies.

[@battlefrenzie]

I've been to Geneva once & got to taste authentic fondue. It's life changing!! I still dream of it...

[@jpjay1584]

may I share an observation pls? Asians seem to not have learned to size food bites to fit in the mouth. I live in China 8 years and due to the lack of fork and knife (only chopsticks) I realised Asians have difficulties to cut food to mouthsize pieces. even if too big (what is most of the time) it just goes into the mouth and then the endless chewing starts (incl. hamster look) I am surprised to see you do this. anyway: I am a big fan and really love your videos!!!!

[@manther907]

I agree. Slurping noodles loudly is the norm in some countries but doing so in most places is not appropriate. Eating bite portions that are obviously too large is the same. I love this channel immensely but that is the only thing that bothers me.

[@jpjay1584]

@@manther907 agree. but its also a mix of other things. one is if you do Fondue for the first time its hard to judge how to rip the bread, that happens easily. and a second aspect is if you have a food channel, (slightly) bigger bites look more rich compared to mini bites. but my observation here in Asia is that they don't learn it early on (as we do. our parents would tell us to have smaller bites and thats how we learn) all my Chinese friends and colleagues struggle to size their bites properly. especially with Western food. they mostly only use the fork and go for whatever the size of the bite is. in that case, we would still try to bite only half of it and then the second half instead of shoving it all in. cheers!!

At Christmas time Whole Foods and Trader Joe's carry "Swiss Fondue" already mixed. All you need to do is heat it up in a saucepan, put it over a sterno or an individual burner and the day before cut up a french baguette into small pieces and let it dry out overnight. You now have everything you need to experience Swiss (cheese) fondue. A nice addition is to have steamed vegetables such as broccoli and cauliflower florets to dip in besides the stale bread pieces.

I'm in the USA, so I may not be correct, but I was taught that you shouldn't eat off of the spiked fork. Instead, I was told to remove it onto the plate, then use a regular fork to eat it.

[@Arlasius]

@@sandramort37 yup you are absolutely correct, but that only apply to te meat fondue (bourguignone or chinese) because the fork can become super hot, for the cheese fondue there is no problem eating directly from the spiked fork he used way too big pieces of bread though ;)

As a swiss, i always ate directly from the fondue fork (cheese fondue). I never got told it was bad or something. And i know a lot of other people that do the same. 😂

[@danielegger6460]

Depends. You can easily tell if a fork is meant for eating by counting the number of prongs: 2 prongs -> not meant for eating, 3+ prongs -> okay to use for eating. The fork he had for the cheese fondue had 3 prongs so it's meant for eating (since the pot is shared, you're supposed to only lightly pierce the bread (though not too lightly, if it stays in the pot you'll have to pay a round of Kirschwasser for your party and drink it), dip it in, get it off by softly hooking on with your teeth and not licking it). Regular fondue forks like for meat fondue only have two prongs so you're supposed to put the ready food on your plate and eat it with a regular fork (the fact that they'll supply 2 forks should also be a good hint). That's the theory at least, but nowadays everything is possible. 😉

Back in the1970s Fondue Parties used to be the rage here in Australia, probably everywhere else too, at least in the west! They went out of fashion, but I suppose you could still track down the home fondue sets which we used to have. The Swiss have military service, so I expect that is why they are so thin. Thank you for the video!

[@etuanno]

The army for sure isn't the reason why so many ppl are not obese. Fast food isn't cheap at all, eating in a restaurant is expensive and since everything is somewhat close together, you can cook at home for dinner and warm the rest up as lunch at work. I love cooking and I haven't eaten in a restaurant in several months because if I cook at home I can afford a LOT nicer food for the same amount of money. I prefer Raclette over Fondue because you can buy a big block of it, make a Raclette and then use the rest to make cheese melts (I usually take a frying pan, put a bunch of Raclette cheese in it along with a bit of dry white wine, put the lid on top and let it melt in the steam, that way less cheese sticks to the pan. Then pour it over a piece of bread). Also you can use the leftover boiled potatoes to make Rösti, fry them in a pan, etc.

Great episode! My parents had a fondue 🫕 pot, so much fun. In Chicago, we have Geja’s Cafe.

That would be great content. For him too go where the fans are; own or eat at. 🤔 just saying. I want to know about Gejas Cafe.

They’ve been around since the 60’s. They are open for dinner. The place has a a cozy atmosphere. The people are very nice. The food is so good.
