you also need pieces of pear, apple or pineapple, ham or swiss dried meat, gurkins and marinated garlic to dip. and do the mixture with Appenzeller and Gruyere.. and last but not least, Kirsch!
I love your faces. Thank you for being so kick ass
I love it, when you do 4 cl „Kirschwasser“ , Cherryschnaps, to it in the End
If you want to go traditionally Swiss, use Vacherin Fribourgeois instead of Emmental and add half a shotglass of Kirsch; we call that a "moitié-moitié" (half and half). If you want to go full punch-in-your-face cheesy, use 3:4 Emmental & aged Appenzell and switch the white wine and Kirsch for dry cider and "Träsch" (Schnaps made from apple and pear pomace). Plain bread, potatoes, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes etc. are fine to dip, but overly flavored breads, extremely crumbly nibbles, marinated pickles etc. are a no-go. Fondue is a very social meal, you shouldn't dip stuff that sheds spices, herbs, seeds etc. or – even worse – leaks flavored oils or brines into the fondue. You shouldn't use bread that is too dense, either. You want a bread with a good gluten structure, so the melted cheese can penetrate the crumb nicely. Pro tip: Real cheese lovers go for the crust at the bottom of the caquelon at the end of the meal. Also a classic: If you haven't got enough fondue, leave a small amount of fondue in the pot, add a few eggs and stir until you have very moist, very cheesy scrambled eggs.
But doesn’t the alcohol get cooked out?
Hey great video, im glad you guys brought up how much we take clean water for granted
should the celery, carrot or broccoli cooked before?
Is there such a thing as a vegan cheese fondue? I am obsessed with cheese but want healthier options.
I say use gruyere and Vacherin Fribourgeois cheese, half half
But where is James?
Have u ever had the meat fondue ? With a bunch of difference sauces my parent did
Is it bad that I just had a 'oooooo his just 5 years older than me' moment when Mike mention 1986?😝
Cant watch this…. 😜🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
That is sooo not the real swiss style fondue! I’m crying 😭
How dare you to dump anything else than bread into fondue?
the swiss are watching, and judging
No kirsch?!
oh please bring back big night in 🙁
God Jesus save and bless you all amen amen amem
fondue is one of my favorites i have a big 10 people fondue pot wich i use for cheese and chocolate fondue's
Nice pine cone Jamie.
Forgotten how much I love Big Night In videos <3
I thought Mike didn't like cheese.
Dipping anything else than bread into a fondue is not right
If I don't have Emmental cheese, can I use another??
Please please add a convert on your site for us that use cups/ounces. Love your recipes but they are a pain to convert
How is drinking water gonna help people who don’t have water
"It's no too cheesy" Can't be too lemony either eh Barry?
Could you make this fougasse using a sourdough starter?
Obv. fake accents.
Bring this series back!
Am I the only one bothered by their lack of fondue etiquette? You don't dip and eat off of the same fork, that has everyone double dipping in the fondue. You spike your food and dip with one fork and either transfer it to another regular fork or slide it off onto a plate to eat.
It's great to support CharityWater, but I learned when I lived in Geneva that you don't drink water with cheese fondue. This is because the oil in the cheese reacts with the water to form a bolus in your stomach; a cheese baby. It makes for an unpleasant evening, and an uncomfortable sleep.
To avoid this, drink plenty of wine with dinner. And finish the meal with an eau de vie (aqua vitae). I like framboise for this, but any strong spirit will do.
Also: for a truly authentic Genevan experience, switch the dipping bread fully for boiled baby potatoes. Even better, add a side of mountain-dried meat. (My fondue guy swears that horse is ideal.) Garnish with some extra sides of pickled gherkins and cocktail onions as respite from the barrage of fat and alcohol.
The phrase "raising awareness" is a general phrase used by charities that don't do actual ground work.
A lot of people have gotten rich "raising awareness" for Flint, Michigan's water problem.
Big question do you double dip
Your all double dipping
Emmenthal bland? Cheap? 🤔Righteo. Things must be very different in the UK
Get rid of the music please
When my kids were little we fondued at least once a month. Loved it.
Watching people communally dip stuff pre-covid feels so weird.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“To much wine”
Story of my life 😂
I hope they raised a good amount, this is an ongoing need.
If I don't wanna use wine what can I add instead
The best mix in my opinion is equal parts of vacherin, gruyere and appenzeller. Greetings from Switzerland 😊
Hmm, I wonder why they don't have clean water. Well actually I don't wonder. I see governmental corruption, a lack of education, controlled markets, pollution, cultural problems and frankly I wouldn't give a fart in the wind to help those who won't even try help themselves beyond begging and crying. DARWIN should sort them out
