Of course not Cheez Wiz. Cheeze Wiz is appropriately eaten only directly from can to mouth.

I went to school with a fellow from Germany - his girlfriend (now wife) was Swiss... they made fondue one night for a bunch of us for dinner. It can be a little heavy-because it is made of extremely high end Emantaler, Raclette, Gruyere and other usually Swiss cheeses. People dip bread, veggies, into the fondue and as you get down to the bottom, the cheese becomes toasted and crispy (this is called "la religieuse"). It's totally delish, but it can be hard to process all that dairy!!

A place out here in Portland, The Berlin Inn, has little slices of cooked sausage mixed in with the bread.

I sort of pace myself on that one, looking at each sausage morsel as something special.

That would be my kids' wish. We try to teach them to have good taste but they have Ragu and Velveeta tastes....

Not only did he enjoy the dessert, but prior to that he helped his grandparents eat their salad, sauerbraten, spaetzli, red cabbage and some of the famous William Tell Mac and Cheese. His mother got the lederhosen on a trip to Germany and he was a big hit with the Bosserts when he arrived. Quite a good and well-behaved diner at age 2. While his grandfather was busy visiting with others at the table, Kevin managed to eat most of grandpa's dessert.

Fondue price...like one post already split it in half and there is one entree

But to explain why cheese is so much money... it is the quantity and type of cheese you get which I am pretty sure is half Emantaler and half Gruyere. Check out the price of those two cheeses when you are in a grocery store, not cheap and take a look at how much they give you at the Tell, actually given all the things to dip into it, I think its a steel and delicious.

To the cheese wizzo's....you can't be comparing the Tell fondue to cheese wiz, maybe I missed the dry humor. Peter would cry if he heard that comparison.

4 of us went to the WTI on Saturday. All had the same thing - Jaeger Schnitzel, as we all love it. I was disappointed - it was good but not as good as I would have expected. It was breaded deep fried veal scallopini with a thin sauce (there was very little of it) which included only a few canned mushroom slices. I am used to a hunters stew: veal cubes with a thick rich sauce - lots of onions and mushrooms. What we got was no where near that - more like a poor imitation of veal marsala with deep fried veal scallopini. Have to say the veal was tender and plentiful. Bill was $160 - included the 4 meals, 2 beers, 2 glasses of wine and one strudel - not outrageous but no bargain.

Was there very "little of it" or "plentiful" ?

I read plenty of veal with too little (thin) sauce.
