Kya fondue dinner tha!
Long time since I blogged. So quite a few things happened.
Last friday, we had been invited by our prof. (that's not quite correct, but we wont get into technicalities), Dr. Floris Tschurr for dinner at his place.
We had just happened to mention that we would like to try some authentic Swiss cuisine and being the friendly person he is, he offered to cook cheese fondue for us. So, last friday, we trooped to his place for dinner. He lives with his wife, Anita.
Now, fondue is simply melted cheese and maintained in the molten state. You then have to dip small pieces of bread in it with special fondue forks and eat it. So it is a very heavy meal. But then, I, who is used to asking Domino's people to add extra cheese, loved it. Along with that, we had salad.
And, of course, as I have mentioned before, following swiss customs has always been to my benefit, it is customary to have wine with the fondue (for those who still want reasons, it is supposed to help the heavy cheese to be digested; I never question customs anyways).
It was white wine and it was amazing! I, who have hardly drunk alcohol before, found it difficult to say no to a third glass. (Ma, I am being honest here, it was only two). Good Floris had even prepared some pasta in case some of us found the cheese too heavy for our liking. Others had some, I couldnt.
It was then followed by simply-out-of-the-worldish pudding and strawberries. And if that wasn't enough, next came hot strong coffee along with dark chocolates and chocolate crackers. I was slightly high (dont know for sure, but makes me feel happy thinking that way). I was simply wishing the meal wont end, while the others continued talking about mundane earthly matters like higher education and god knows what.
But it ended. We thanked the gracious couple and went home.
I love the swiss people. Floris even hinted that we could have something similar sometime later on during the stay. God bless him.
P.S. Fondue is not generally had in summers. Its a winter dish but our stay here is only till July. Hence, the reason for this blog.
P.P.S. Images up on album (Nothing to do with the dinner but just spreading the news).
