What is the history of fondue?
The history of fondue is an interesting one for anyone who enjoys dipping into the past to understand the culinary revels of today. Fondue is almost always considered of Swiss origin, with beginnings in the 1950s. The date is actually incorrect, and there are disputes about whether the Swiss actually “invented” fondue. Moreover, what we would think of as fondue today (melted cheese with bread cubes, cooked beef in oil, or melted chocolate) are not the fondues of the past.
