I’m going to be honest, the smell of fondue makes me nauseous. It has something to do with the\u00a0pungent aroma of melted gruyere cheese. So, I passed by several fondue restaurants in Switzerland, deterred by the smell wafting from them. But, I couldn’t possibly leave\u00a0Zurich without trying something so traditionally Swiss. So, I plugged my nose and entered Swiss Chuchi<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then I turned around and walked out. I can do this.<\/em> I walked back in.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n


\"Switzerland<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I took one of the last seats in this bustling restaurant and quickly ordered a Swiss Cabernet, maybe the smell of wine will melt away the smell of cheese. Not a chance.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss Chuchi is a well-known eatery in Zurich that specializes in traditional Swiss style food. Though there were plenty of other tempting dishes on the menu to choose from, a pot of fondue sat on almost every table, a not-so subliminal message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really didn’t need any convincing, because the main reason I was enduring the cheesy stink was for fondue.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I ordered a pot of traditional fondue with ham & champignon mushrooms for 28 francs ($30.86 usd). Ouch. Stinky cheese is expensive in Zurich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"Switzerland<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional fondue is made with four cheeses, including Gruyere, though I was hoping that the other three others would disguise it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pot came to the table bubbling hot, with a basketful of cubed bread. I stuck a cube of bread on my fondue pitchfork and dipped it into the melted bowl of cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please don’t taste like gruyere smells.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This fondue was melted goodness, a perfect gooey blend of all four cheeses without a hint of foulness. Little bits of ham and mushroom were lightly stuck to the bottom of my pot, easily dislodged with my fork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"Switzerland<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My fondue was not cooling down at all on top of the continual flame, which made it difficult to shove as much slathered bread into my mouth as rapidly as I wanted.  Thankfully, I noticed a spoon like device meant to be put over the flame to control the temperature. Which I did.<\/em> It continued to bubble for three more minutes and then the heat became a more manageable level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s when the real gorging began.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

As the smell of gruyere subsided or my nostrils acclimated, I ordered another glass of wine to rapidly enjoy the remaining 42 cubes of bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It turns out that I am a big fan of a meal that consists solely of bread and cheese. Aren’t you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\"Swiss<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two very small glasses of wine $18.67, one individual pot of fondue $30.86, a memorable bucket list worthy experience…priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
