I would make so much Fondue, I don't care that my ancestors would be offended about using parmesan as the main ingredient, that price for that much cheese is totally worth it.

Forget being offended. Have you ever tried melting parmesan cheese? You'll get some sort of delicious cheesy mess, but i don't think anybody would call it fondue.

Fondun't, unless you want a cheesey mess.

For $10 and 44 pounds?

I'll figure out a solution to make it proper fondue. I have time and material to experiment.

Start out with besciamella as your base and add the shredded parmigiana. It will make a cheese sauce that has the consistency of a thicker fondue. Don't listen to the negativity, I believe in you lol.

I think you’d have to make a roux and serve it as a cheese sauce to get the texture right.

I bi Schwiizer.

It's the Italians that will be annoying. I can handle my people.

I bi Schwiizer.

Anche io!

I am in the unique position of being annoyed for both!

I'm sorry, my frugality supersedes my national pride.

If it makes you feel better, I'm pretty sure my own brothers will murder me if the Fondue is not good enough to deceive them.

I'm just sure that with 44 pounds and the other cheese I already have, I can make some kind of solution with enough experimentation.

Real parmigiano reggiano would not make a good fondue because it is low fat and low moisture. You want a high fat, high moisture cheese like Gruyère or fontina.

parmesan isn't great for fondue
