I love this food so much, but can never properly enjoy it in Greece, as it just makes me feel so hot. I should also try the nutmeg next time, sounds like it really changes everything.Foodjunkiehttp://foodjunkie.eunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-61377515944743871872010-08-02T09:33:05.418+01:002010-08-02T09:33:05.418+01:00Claudia - having a proper pot does make life easie...Claudia - having a proper pot does make life easier.<br /><br />Joanne - thank you!Alicia Foodycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931796992646884249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2454805966928474735.post-66956286255479604342010-08-02T01:05:01.545+01:002010-08-02T01:05:01.545+01:00You can never ever go wrong with fondue, I'm p...You can never ever go wrong with fondue, I'm pretty sure.

My son would often ask for fondue on his birthday and we have had it for New Year's Eve as well - not for two but for about eight. I love this way of eating as it encourages people to eat slowly. Eating should be an event.
