I had to postpone my birthday till a day when I had lung capacity, AND we cancelled the birthday lunch at Richard Corrigan's... next week perhaps? <BR/><BR/>yes, fillet steak would fill the bill... tonight was a Scotch beef braised in Guinness. I must say it, at the risk of bringing British wrath on my head: SCHOOL FOOD! Not so much bad as deathly bland.

You decide! That said it is wonderful. I enjoy the traditional cheese fondue but not with bread as it leaves one feeling like a bag of bloated air.

Her in-laws run hotels and different fondues feature every winter on the menu. <BR/><BR/>The Chinoise version IS sublime but you have to use Fillet steak for the melt in the mouth chew - any other cut also makes the bouillon too fatty. <BR/><BR/>BTW A very happy BirthdayRosie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06411304937766154925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5457340009381334668.post-9018402153547430642009-02-07T23:11:00.000+00:002009-02-07T23:11:00.000+00:00I have never ever tried a fondue, the closest I've...I have never ever tried a fondue, the closest I've come being a traditional raclette in France. This sounds sublime and yes, slimming! But let's not think about that.
