I'm writing an article about fondues.
God help me.
What's more, I'm going to have to entitle it: "Still fond of fondues?", or some similar groan-wringingly terrible header.
Is this where my life is taking me...?

When I was a young man a fondue party was a pleasant social occasion for young couples. Quick and easy to make and fun to consume.

I have an amusing story about a fondue dinner that ended in A&E - and nearly ended a well-known musician's career.
I was sitting opposite a famous Big Band leader at his son's house and for a laugh, his son, my mate, had decided to do a retro fondue dinner.
He had some ace beef slices and duly we stuck it on our fondue forks and dipped it into the boiling oil cauldron-thingy in the middle of the table.
Now, it is a law of physics that when a piece of meat is immersed in boiling oil, some of the //intense// heat will transfer from the oil to the meat.
It is always advisable to allow cooling time.
The Big Band leader forgot this simple principle and popped the lava-hot chunk straight from the oil into his gob.
The shrieks were truly heart-rending and not a little upsetting. It had quite serious consequences as tissue damage was undeniable and A&E was our only course of action.
It was especially sad as he was a trumpet player who relied on his lip being in perfect working order.
He couldn't blow a note for months.
So. The deadly unforseen dangers of messing with forces you don't understand.
Fondues are indeed the devil's work.
