January / February meetings

In January an unusually large number of FOTMC members traveled to Gimel to help former IUCN staffer Jean Michel Barras kick off the opening month of this new auberge.  It was the first time we had ever been offered provencal herbs in which to dip our cheese-soaked bread and it was great.


Last week we went back to the Auberge de Celigny which has new owners and a new, more modern look.  Again we were offered some dipping spices but this time more like paprika or nutmeg.  It looks like dipping is becoming the new 'must have' accessory for fondues in canton de Vaud.

and for some humour, check out this 1992 US patent application for a fondue fork holding apparatus
