My little history of fondue and its recent revival can be read here.I don't see the sidebar part online -- which is all about the etiquette of eating fondue -- but there are essentially four rules:
1) Don't double dip. (Who are you, George Costanza?)
2) Stir the pot.
The one criticism one of my experts made of the finished story was that I made it sound a little too easy... the truth is, that if you don't stir the pot when you dip, you'll create a giant cheese cinderblock at the bottom. Definite no-no.
3) One piece of bread at a time.
4) If you drop your bread in the pot you have to buy the next round of drinks. (Or, if you're female, you have to kiss the chef.)
Enjoy!
