The only issue that I see is that, without constant heating, the fondue will become cold and chewy after 2-3 minutes. Accordingly, once the fondue leaves the galley, it has a very short life. Hence the serving must be small and the container holding the fondue on the tray delivered to the passenger should be warmed up.

I never tried it on a plane, but would be interested to taste it too.

The damned noise of LX's 773s should take care of the odours.

Please... tell me it's not served in November?!?

Please... tell me they developped a scientifically odourless recipe?!?
It comes with all the bells and whistles, including a nice smell, and often but not always gets served during the colder months.

Will make sure I have one at the lounge and another one, if they let me, on board with some LPGS.

As you said, it tastes exactly like Gerber ready-to-eat cheese fondue on the ground, because that is what they serve.

Not the best cheese fondue in the world, but the best (and only) cheese fondue I ever had on a plane.

Too bad, hope you complained.

They need to know that there is demand for it.

Cheese fondue as amuse? Not sure I would like that either.

Was thinking about it as a snack later in the flight.

Yes, I was surprised, normally I like their amuse, especially ex ZRH...

Interesting, as LX did offer raclette on the plane (1 or 2 years ago).

Does anyone know who in Switzerland sells the South African Red - Hartenberg "the Mckenzie" - that is currently served in F? Apparently it is not from Kapweine.ch, my first suspect and I only find shops in EU which is a pain with customs....

Sorry, cannot answer your question.

Was it good?

Have a number of LX flights coming up and found it odd that two of the three reds are Bordeaux style, as they are not my favorite.

Brilliant - many thanks! Still wondering where they have it from - cannot imagine that they import directly. The FA didn't know either and there was no sourcing comment in the crew booklet.....

I loved it and after lots of not so great SA wine in Tanzania it restored my appreciation for SA winemaking...but tastes differ ;-) - just give it a try. LX FA's will be happy to provide you with a full tasting of what is loaded, incl. the C selection.
