"la fondue" - meaning the melt

I would like to share this experience with u .. This was on 24th Feb I had been to a restaurant to taste one of the classical French food from the region where I stay, Rhone-Alps.
It was just bread portions with melted cheese.
This preparation is some what complicated.. the cheese, not the ordinary cheese, is a special one which, is melted in a red wine. The wine is first heated so that the alcohol evaporates and then the cheese is mixed. This is allowed to boil. This is the first mix.
Later they come and pickup u r order .. we need to select along with what mixture u want that first mix...
the available combinations are all greens / onion / mushroom / vegetables / meat varieties
Then depending our choice the mixture is added and then it is served in a saucepan with a burner under that. This mixture needed to be stirred constantly so that wine and the cheese don’t get separated.
They give u a special type of fork with which u take the bread crump and soak it in the mixture. The catch is u r bread should not be dropped when u take it out as the mixture is little hard. Its fun. If U forfeit, who ever saw u dropping the bread can ask u to do what ever they want. It was sheer fun. A couple of people dropped this and was asked to do a lot of things. All People (except few like me) time take wine along with that.

Now coming to the desserts part. Fresh fruits like apple, berry, strawberry, kiwi, orange, banana etc are served with a cream in a plate. Then a hot chocolate is kept in a saucepan, u need to take the fruit/fruits along with/without the cream soak it into the hot chocolate and eat that.
