In general, a fondue can mean any food cooked in a pot, or dipped into a sauce in a pot. The pot is in the centre of the table, shared by everyone eating.
The fondue dish quickly spread to the kitchens of the whole world and in each of them acquired its special individuality, thanks to experiments with its preparation.
Fondue is Switzerland's national dish, a melting pot of different flavors and aromas, similar to the country itself–a melting pot of people and different cultures.
