Cheese? Yes please.

Cheesy music is usually a contentious topic among those who are passionate about music.  Naturally the issue of what constitutes good "bad" music is of a complicated nature.   So why not pose the question what constitutes good cheese?  Well this answer is simple.  Good cheese is old, smelly (e.g. funky), and expensive.  I find the same is good with cheesy music.  Maybe expensive doesn't really fit, but either way here is some cheesy music and a classic recipe for fondue originally from Gourmet Magazine in 1966 but I found on epicurious.com. 

Note: Kirsch is a brandy made from dark sour cherries and is a traditional flavoring in a swiss fondue (according to wikipedia) but is not necessary.  It is the final balance between the wine, cheese, and cornstarch that really determines the overall texture and thus success of the fondue. 

Cheese FondueGourmet | February 1966; reprinted September 2001

Yield: Makes 6 servings Total Time: 30 min   1 garlic clove, halved crosswise 1 1/2 cups dry white wine (preferably Swiss, such as Fendant) 1 tablespoon cornstarch 2 teaspoons kirsch 1/2 lb Emmental cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups) 1/2 lb Gruyère , coarsely grated (2 cups) Accompaniment: cubes of French bread on fondue forks or long wooden skewers Special equipment: a fondue pot    Rub inside of a 4-quart heavy pot with cut sides of garlic, then discard garlic.  Add wine to pot and bring just to a simmer over moderate heat. Stir together cornstarch and kirsch in a cup. Gradually add cheese to pot and cook, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern (not a  circular motion) to prevent cheese from balling up, until cheese is just melted and creamy (do not let boil).  Stir cornstarch mixture again and stir into fondue. Bring fondue to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes. Transfer to fondue pot set over a flame and serve with bread for dipping. A link to help you on your fondue journey...
