I used to live in a hotel owned by a swiss chap. He invited me and my colleagues to his house a few times for fondue and it was the best I've ever tasted.
His not-so-secret ingredient was kirsch!
Emmental
Gruyere
The other one (?)
White Wine
Garlic (don't crush it)
Kirsch
Et voila
He served it with bread, chips, veg and slices of apple.

Bread and Beer.
White wine with Fondue, not beer.
I fry garlic off in olive oil. Add wine and kirsch. (50/50 wine glass of each) then melt in grated emmental and Gryere (Both look like they are spelt wrong?) Don't overheat as you will burn the cheese or even worse, heat of the alcohol.
Serve with French bread. Doesn't need anything else IMO.

Lidel sells pouches of cheese fondue but don't know if they are any good. Anyone tried them?
Stay away, STAY AWAY!It is so easy to make yourself but the problem in this country is finding the correct strengh of Gruyere (the main constiuantof Fondue). Eat with stale bread and a good chilled white. The Swiss sometimes drink black tea with the fondue.
If done correctly, cheese fondue is, IMO, the food of the Gods
Garlic clove should be lightly crushed and rubbed all around the fondue pot. Melt the cheese very slowly (to avoid splitting) with a good slug of white wine, Kirsch and cornflour. When molten, the fondue should have the consistancy of wallpaper paste. If you have a thin layer of oil on top then you have split the cheese. To retify this, add more cheese to the pot off the heat.
When finished, do not forget to scrap the burnt cheese off the bottom of the pot as this is the best bit.
You will also need a few shot of the Kirsch afterwards to aid digestion.
Oh, just one more thing. The following day you will crack the porciline. Enjoy.

I'm with you entirely, chap. Utterly pointless crap in my opinion. Don't mind a raclette(sp?) when I'm skiing for the sake of it, but fondue... krallicious said:

I really want a bloody fondue now. My fondue set and all of my fondue cheese is currently sat in my girlfriend's flat in Frankfurt. Bugger
