We'll have a friend staying with us so we decided to break out the underused fondue pots. Going to make a Swiss cheese fondue and then a chocolate one. Here's some of the dippers I have in mind-would you add anything? (Keeping it vegetarian)
-crusty white bread
-whole grain bread with currants
-green apples
-potatoes
-tomatoes
-green beans
-mushrooms?
-?
For dessert:
-strawberries
-pineapples
-cake: pound or angel food?
-?

Cauliflower or broccoli for the cheese. Rice Crispie Treats for the Chocolate.

So a true Swiss person would freak out if you put anything other than bread or mayyyybeee potatoes in a cheese fondue, but I break the rules and love a good selection of pickled vegetables, you know the tiny onions, pickles and corn.
For the chocolate, I like brownies. Chocolate covered in chocolate, lol.

Ooh you're making me crave fondue. Before DS was born I used to make a hotpot version which was a rip off of the Melting Pot's coq au vin. We haven't done it in forever because it's a solid hour of prep.

Oh yum, thank you for your suggestions! I know, I'm probably not being very authentic here, but I want fun stuff to dip (it'll be LO's first time!).

1. Definitely have a side of pickled things to balance the richness, like cornichons, pickled onions, giardinera, etc.
2. I think blanched cauliflower or broccoli or brussel sprouts would be good.
3. Smoked gouda in fondue is TO DIE FOR.
4. Frozen Sara Lee poundcake is the best/firmest chocolate fondue dipper - like literally in its frozen form. It doesn't crumble into the pot. Pretzel rods, marshmallows, frozen brownie bites, frozen banana bites, and kettle cooked potato chips would also be good!

Thank you all! I'm going to use most of your suggestions. I'll try to take a picture if I can remember, to post!
