List of fondues
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fondues are a group of distinct dishes that can be either savoury or sweet. Cheese fondue, originating in Switzerland, is the original fondue, hence the French term fondue for "melted". Since the 1950s, however, the term fondue has been generalized to a number of other dishes in which a food is dipped or cooked into a communal pot kept hot.[1] Fondue eaten as a communal meal is referred to as a fondue party.

Konrad Egli, a Swiss restaurateur, is credited for the introduction of fondue bourguignonne at his Chalet Suisse restaurant in 1956. In the mid-1960s, he also invented chocolate fondue as part of a promotion for Toblerone chocolate.[2] A sort of chocolate mousse or chocolate cake had also sometimes been called "chocolate fondue" starting in the 1930s.[3]
