Fondue & Welsh Rarebit anyone still create these? ~A good recipe(s) Please

[diannecerkvenik64]

I love fondue and have been looking for a good recipe(s) that is more dramatic ~ spicier than just ol'cheese.

I grew up with Welsh Rarebit but my recipe is quite bland ~ does anyone have a recipe that has a kick to it. I usually serve it over sliced toast ~ anyone have a better suggestion

My Granmother use to tell me that Welsh Rarebit was a sophisticated meal so each time I eat it I think that and remember the way her and my mother would set the table with good china & silverware to serve this meal.

I love fondue too. We just had a "do you fondue" party

Last Friday. I make mine with a mixture of 3 to 4 cheeses, kirsch, wine, nutmeg. If that is different than yours I can send the recipe. I also looked in my binder and found several recipes for different fondue, but I have not tried them. I'll list them and if you want any of the recipes I'll type them

Spanish Fondue - jalapenos, jack cheese, champagne, onions, cream, bleu cheese

Red-pepper-dill swiss fondue

Fondue Vudu - hard cider, smoked and reg gouda,curry

Apple-cider-cheddar fondue

Honey-bleu cheese fondue

Brie wild mushroom fondue

Now I'm getting hungry, Lj

This story was with the recipe:
This wonderful fondue recipe came from my Mother-in-law. It is a rich, delicious broth that you can cook with any kind of meat or vegetable. We always have this for New Year's Eve with friends. Our favorite dipping sauces are ginger and mustard sauce, seafood cocktail and Bearnaise sauce. My husband proposed to me over this dinner!
