Fondue

Fondue is Switzerland’s national dish, its name comes from the French word fondre, meaning to melt, and that is exactly what it is! Melted cheese combined with flavorful additions. Fondue was invented out of necessity, when the locals and herders relied only on cheese, wine, and bread to get them through the cold alpine winter. When the cheese made in the summer started to dry out and the bread became hard and stale during the winter months the ingenious locals melted the hard cheese with wine and dipped the stale bread into it.

If you’re passionate about wildlife, it’s likely that one of the reasons you travel is to catch a glimpse of an exotic animal in its natural habitat. Perhaps you’ve been lucky enough to spot a leopard stalking its prey, while on safari in the Kruger National Park or the Common Shelbruck, which, despite its name is actually quite rare, while birdwatching on a luxury journey to India.
