Then the melted part is scraped onto a plate and eaten with a garnish of mixed pickles, fried potatoes, and bread. Fondues are also made of meat, seafood, and even chocolate. Like the cheese for the cheese fondue, the oil is kept hot by an alcohol flame under the pot. The deep-fried tenderloin cubes are eaten with a variety of sauces. For a seafood fondue , shrimp, clams, squid, and other seafood is deep-fried and eaten with various sauces in the same style.
Chocolate fondue is handled like a cheese fondue.
Either British style biscuits or cubes of fruits, in Thailand preferably mango and pineapple, are dipped into melted chocolate. Fondues are a social matter. Hardly any dish is more suitable for festive occasions. In restaurants they are commonly served in orders for at least two guests. Austrian cuisine differs only a little from German cuisine, though is does feature a certain Eastern European influence.
