I'm sure a simple pan and an electric stove you can put on the table would do it.

I was just looking in the web for a fondue recipe, OMG it's unbelievable what people make of fondues :shock: Red lobster or meatball fondues, or seafood cheese fondue :shock: I'm really open to try new recipes, but I don't think I could put seafood in a fondue*arghh*

Anyway, here's a recipe for an original Swiss fondue:

By the way, it's a lot of fun to share a fondue with a couple of friends :lol: , because you can bet with them to do something funny, if someone loses his piece of bread in the fondue.

Whoooo hooooo!!! Last time I and my cousins were going shopping, and we smelled something really bad. We were telling ourselves that smell was kinda like nuoc mam. Then we turned around and saw a Vietnamese restaurant on the side of the road. :lol: :lol:

We Vietnamese do seafood fondue, too, but we don't use cheese for fondue. We use chicken soup extract. The hot and spicy or Thai tomyum style is pretty good as a seafood fondue. 8)

And quite embarrassing, I must say, since the smell was really bad. :lol:

Yeah we know that sort of fondue with chicken soup extract too, it's really tasty with seafood. We call it "Fondue Chinoise" (Chinese fondue), I have no idea why we call it like this. But the cheese fondue I coundn't stand with seafood :shock:

I haven't had the cheese seafood fondue. Actually I haven't had any cheese fondue. Cheese fondue, it sounds pretty fatty to me. And since I'm lactose intolerant, I'll have a hard time with the bathroom break after eating it.
