Switzerland MICHELIN STAR BRUNCH BUFFET & Trying All You Can Eat SWISS CHINESE FONDUE

Morel is 'more' plus 'rel' like bell. Emphasis on the 'rel' syllable. I'm in Michigan where we hunt them every May.

[@meganschramm3484]

I love Mike but that bothered me so much lol I can't wait for next year to go hunting for them

In Quebec you can find them selling thin frozen sliced meat explicitly for "Chinese fondue." It's also the name I grew up using for hot pot, though we say usually say hot pot now (from Massachusetts)

[@deeashley780]

They sell thin sliced frozen beef and chicken as Chinese fondue in New Brunswick as well

[@allo1234566]

the main difference between chinese fondue and hot pot is that the former is a whine base broth and the latter a seafood/stock base broth

[@xMascarade]

I'm from Quebec too. There is so many meats made specifically for Chinese fondue. In my household, we love kangaroo Chinese Fondue. Prawns are also a must.

You should go to the Cafe De Paris near the train station. There's only one item on the menu, Entrcote steak with Cafe de Paris sauce and fries, but it's to die for. I once made an overnight stopover on my way back from Germany to New York, just so I could eat there.

[@joelk.3917]

Hey Mike! You should definitely try the Egg tarts from Pastéis de Belém next to the Jerónimos Monastery in Lisbon. This is the bakery where these egg tarts originally come from (the original ones). There is a huge cue in front of the Bakery every single morning and afternoon.

[@johnlim7720]

I myself tried it when I visited Lisbon a couple of years back. Nothing really special to me quite similar in taste to the Lord Stow egg tarts. But still a must visit at least to experience the place. Now the Bacalhau well that to me was memorable.

[@VinceNet]

I had a fair few and I have to say Pasteis de Belem was really a step above any others I tried.

"If you have ever eaten a cloud before, you know exactly what I'm talking about" I am French and I agree, Île flottante tastes exactly like clouds. I miss eating clouds.

In Quebec, Chinese fondue is really popular in winter. You can get specially sliced meats…pork, beef and chicken and we use cooked shrimps too. Sometimes veggies like broccoli, mushrooms,cauliflower. And we make great sauces….yum,yum

[@maryc4622]

April is Morel mushroom season in Pennsylvania. Families keep their harvest locations secret, passed down through the generations. White and Black Morels…..fried in butter is our favorite use. Morel is pronounced Mor-L with emphasis in the L.. I’m going to try the next batch of morels recipes. Thank You

Growing up in a Swiss family, Chinese Fondue was generally chunks of meat that you would put in boiling oil or something that cooks it. Very interesting to see how this restaurant does their version, and it's essentially hot pot!

[@silasstuder5558]

You ate fondue bourginoise its very similar but it uses different cut meat and is boiled in oil. Fondue chinoise is with thin sliced meat or fish or vegetables boiled in bouillon like they had

[@waltciii3]

I really like Mikey, but for someone who enjoys food this much, and who's livelihood is based around it, he really is uneducated about many food items.

Also, study up on pastries and baked goods.

hiya from the UK! I absolutely love the differences between how we all pronounce different words. like to me.. I pronounce risotto like "Ri-zot-oh" and Mike says it like "ree-zow-towh" and pistachio. I say (im not swearing 😂) "piss-tash-ee-oh" Mike says "pist-stach-eeoo" and "Tomaaydoh" from Mike. "Tomartow" from me. isn't it strange but lovely! ❤🤗

[@gregmuon]

FWIW. The correct pronunciation of risotto is ree SAWt toh. The American and UK pronunciations are incorrect. Due to celebrity chefs I suppose. I'm American but of Italian descent. My grandfather was a chef and born in Italy. I grew up in a bilingual household, and have been eating risotto since I was able to feed myself. I can assure you that this is correct. But who cares, just eat the food.

Agree about Portuguese egg tarts from Portugal. We have a great Portuguese community here in Toronto Canada BUT the ones in Portugal are less sweet and they are made daily (important for the crust’s crispiness).

[@UsernamesForDummies]

As a Swiss person, the Chinese-cheese fondue combo is rather sacrilegious, but whatever tastes good to you is allowed 🙂. I think the sauces you were given are a bit basic. There’s more creative stuff out there. I know that the food in Switzerland is expensive, but generally, the quality is very high. Especially when it comes to meat. And there’s a high standard of animal welfare - something I appreciate as a conscious meat eater.

Olá. Me Portuguese thinking when you would come to Portugal because you love so much egg tart. Or 'pastel de nata'. Welcome. Enjoy our wonderful food and welcoming. Ps. You should try egg tart warm, the better are the one from 'Belém'. In Portugal we eat it with one expresso . "Café e nata" or coffee and egg tart. And a lot drink the coffee black without sugar, so we can enjoy the contrast between the sweet egg tart and the bitter expresso. It's a culture.
