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

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Mike interesting vlog but why would go eating Chinese food when there are more interesting things to eat Ah thé cheese épisode that does Mike in ?

[@Snarpips]

I live in Switzerland, only an hour away from Genève and I can say I’ve only tasted fondue bourguignonne and the cheese fondue along with many different cheese raclettes! It’s so so good 😊 Nice content 😀

[@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!!

Fact or Myth? You're not supposed to eat the food directly off of the fondue fork? Just curious if anyone here knows the answer.

[@michelleneal6860]

@@JohnHausser Cool! That’s what I thought. To each their own, but it’s nice to know the “correct” etiquette.

[@Thripphy]

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. 😉

[@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.

[@lillyrose3545]

Next time no eating from the fondue dip stick. Well I guess it is ok if you are dining alone, but it is considered bad manners and probably scream “American” when eaten off of the fork.

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.

same. i wish the popular food channels would travel through europe more; europe and asia have the most variety of foods in the world and there's no shortage of content when it comes to asia. I hope he does a lot more of europe and dives into some of the less well known foods.

I LOVE fondue and eat it regularly. Granted I go to the Melting Pot to get it but I have done it at home too but if you don’t want to do all the prep making the sauces and cutting everything etc it is so nice to be able to go to a restaurant and have it already done for you. Switzerland is on my bucket list!

I kinda don’t like seeing the food in the intro. It’s like you just gave me dessert first and now I don’t need the rest. To many creatures are showing mid content at the start as a teaser but it makes me not want to keep watching. Sorry but I don’t want the twist in a movie to be at the beginning.
