I’m going to blame Richard Osman’s House of Games because I keep seeing Slebs picking the fondue set as a prize and Castle Strange doesn’t like to be behind the times so I decided to go for it and order one. I mean who doesn’t like melted cheese? Of course it was another object lesson in modern day efficiency in that it didn’t even come with a starter gel set (so had to order one of those) and it didn’t come with a little recipe book which these things used to. So now I’m stuck with slabs of cheese on a stick. I could do that with a box of cocktail sticks and pack of Dairy Lee slices but hey ho. Once I get the fondue gel I’ll google a fondue recipe and hope for the best.
Of course I could also do a chocolate fondue (unknown in the 70’s) but I forgot to buy any chocolate last time I was out getting the bare essentials allowed in these difficult times. The gel is due to arrive next week just in time for Easter. I may suggest it for Easter Sunday lunch – see how well it goes down …

So this seems to be an excellent step forward in my attempt to eat my own bodyweight each day I’m in lockdown. I’ll let you know how I get on.
