classic swiss fondue
A traditional Swiss fondue is served with cubes of crusty bread, pickled vegetables such as small, sweet gherkins, and a glass of icy kirsch. Kirsch is the traditional spirit used to dissolve the cornstarch added to a classic fondue, but it can be replaced with vodka or regular brandy. From Fondue It! by Silvana Franco.
