omigod, I think I just put on 4 kg just READING the recipes!! :-))
Thanks for all this wonderful stuff - I'll see if it can be put to use!! I think pineapple is the nicest thing to dip into it... ... of course some people use bread. Some people would even use the napkin and suck it out!! Dr W. PS - yes, we can, at least, get Toblerone here :-)

by the way, one thing which Russia does exceptionally well is dark "bitter" chocolate.. of the kind you need to make fondue :-)
"Babaevsky" is my favourite brand, but "Krasny Oktyabr" is also nice, and there are other good ones too, like "Rot Front". Dr .

Well, I guess I have no choice but to buy a fondue-maker and try a recipe or two with Sainsbury's strawberries or peaches...
Yes, DR W, there used to be delicious "poristy gorky shokolad" in Moscow in 70s-80s, and one could buy it by kilo, which we did  Perhaps you can still get it somewhere, made by Danone disguised as "Bolshevik" which they have bought out. Dr Woland - have you tried "Baron Fon Due" in Moscow? I think they serve pineapple with chocolate fondue... but the music is too loud, - so loud in fact that even glasses of wine have been knocked off the table, allegedly...

Welcome to Russia.Com!
And did you, errr, EAT it by the kilo as well? <g> I missed Moscow in the 1970's. Actually I don't remember much about the 1970's at all, but I am fairly sure I wasn't in Moscow for them. My earliest memories of Russian chocolate were thinking that someone had forgotten to put the wick down the centre of it, but I was young and naive, the kind to whom ANY kind of chocolate could have been sold by uncrupulous agents of political subversion. Oh dear, this "Baron Fon Due" sounds a very rough sort of place... loud music, flying wine-glasses? More like "Baron, mon Dieu!" You should be careful where you go in Moscow, y'know! I presume you are the Baronesse de la Fondue? (oder die Marschallin von Gebrunntes-Schokolade?) Or is that "choc" as in "choc-electrique"? Or were you shocked by the size of the fondue? You will have to tell us more... Dr W. [Edited by Dr_Woland on 22nd January 2001 at 00:00]

I just adore red wine with the fondue. Or, if I'm going on a 'binge' then a bottle of Stolichnaya.
As for the fondue itself; sometimes if I have nothing I just use a spoon. Eat chocolate all night. It's killer. I am going to make note of this bitter chocolate and bring my fondue dishes with me to Moscow. What a great way to spend an evening
