Info/History:

Fondue is a Swiss invention, if you mean a dish made of melted cheese see next page. The name is derived from the French fondre = to let melt.

Here, meanwhile, it is a meat dish – nothing is melted. But the name “Fondue bourguignonne” has become established. It is said that the dish was introduced in 1476 by the Burgundians who occupied western Switzerland under Charles the Bold. After that, however, the Swiss managed to keep it a secret for a long time.

Tip: Always use aromatic spices to enhance your dishes!
