Raclette is a traditional dish from Switzerland. The raclette cheese round is heated up, either in front of a fire or by an electric table-top grill with small pans, then scraped onto diners’ plates. It goes with steamed potatoes, gherkins, pickled onions, and delicatessen. It is a dish that is shared and enjoyed between several people. Fondue is a Swiss, Italian, and French dish of melted cheese served in a communal pot over a chafing stand heated with a candle or spirit lamp and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese using the long-stemmed forks. It is usually enjoyed between family members or friends during the winter but can serve during a simple gathering for a warm and cozy dinner.
