Gorgeous cool Autumn nights here in the southern hemisphere already and perfect weather for sitting around a table dipping all kinds of delicious tidbits into a fondue pot aka a caquelon, filled with a rich garlicky Swiss Cheese & wine fondue AND then move to the dessert table for a rich Chocolate & Cream fondue.
Can you believe that this old gal has never ever had a Fondue and yet I looove melted Cheese and melted Chocolate even more so!
The very best Fondues granny Google showed me was from Lorraine Elliot's not quite Nigella blog, and does it look decadent!
This lady sure knows how to tempt and her table looks amaaaazing plus she has the best sense of humour so take a peek at her blog for the very best food!
I'm firstly going to make myself at home at the decadent Death by Chocolate Fondue table being a sweet tooth, so there is no way I'm going to be a good girl and have the Cheese first, even though that looks equally delisssh!
Loads of good dippers at this table - Cherries, Strawberries, Bananas, Mandarin, Medjool Dates, Grapes, sliced Pears, Palmier cookies, Waffle pieces; one could actually go wild here!
After seeing all of this I really am inspired to have a Fondue party with special friends, anyone else want to join in?
I promise to share my own version with all of you here, but will need to get one of these special pots but could never set a table like this foodie here; we need to get her here on Hive!
Then it's on to the Cheese Fondue which I now will need to cut down all that sweetness; dippers here all look amazingly good: Falafels, Meatballs, Dolmades, Cherry Tomatoes, Snow Peas, Baby Potatoes, Prawns, Broccoli florets, French Bread cubes, Baby Corn, Radishes, Green and Black Olives, Pork Crackling and so forth and so forth.
I was tagged by @phderoes in the Ladies of Hive Community Contest #30, and this week's challenge is:
1️⃣ What food have you never eaten but would really like to try?
Or
2️⃣ What was something that started out badly for you, but in the end was great?
It would be great to see the following ladies join in - @carolynstahl, @artywink and @sreypov.

I cannot believe it!!! Nah, you must be joking, right?
Lady, you better make yourself some fondue tonight!
Forget the Fondue Set, just get your pot and heat your choice of dip (chocolate or cheese), and start dipping!
I bet you'd enjoy it... then you'd buy yourself a Fondue set...
And be ready cuz the gals are all coming, hehehe!
Very nice article, @lizelle!
Good luck with the contest!

I know, it's quite unbelievable that someone who loves cooking...and eating...has never had a fondue!
Thank you so very much for the warm welcome @silversaver888, it almost feels like cheating showing off someone else's food;).
I will flow your advice for sure, thank you xxx
I bet this is the first time you're using someone else's photograph!
About photographs, I must say that you take excellent for photography!
Did you have experience in this field?
I actually felt like a cheat not using my own food photography but of course could not in this instance.
Thank you for the compliment but I only use my cellphone and Steemit and Hive food blogging have been my learning grounds;)
WOW, your work is like pro's work!
Kudos to you!

Thank you;)
ENGAGEtokens.Look delicious! Spring days in the northern hemisphere.
I'm sure you're enjoying the warmer weather just like we're loving the cooler nights! Thanks for stopping by @videoaddiction 🤗
I have had a fondue here and there but I think it was an oil fondue at Marc's mother's house when we ate meat. I think the fondue should be brought back to popularity. Yes chocolate sounds like a great one. I would even do a vegan cheese for us. Not a fan of vegan cheese but there is one that I like. It's about the experience. Of course it would be complete with a bottle of wine haha.
I just may join in on this one if I can think of something haha.
Thank you for this community 🌻
Wonderful fondue table, I have had the pleasure of eating chocolate and cheese fondue but never with as much variety as you show us, you give some excellent ideas.
It's that talented food blogger that I discovered, her fondue table really looked the best👌

That looks so yummy @lizelle ,beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Wish I'd made all of that but think it's time we had a fondue party;)
These are beautiful! Have a great day 💕
Thank you for popping in @sreypov but it felt kind of wrong posting food photos of another foodie but it had to be something I'd never eaten;)
I've never tried fondue but it looks delicious. I'm a HUGE fan of dark chocolate so you'd probably find my hovering over that one. : )
I've yet to try it, was quite the thing to do back in the day but somehow we never got around to it. I Ioooove dark chocolate as well plus it's healthier too;)
Thank you for joining the fondue party Eric!
