Some years ago I worked for a company based in Belgium and had some employees of Belgium came and visited our local office on a business trip. When I told them I was chatting with a fondue party was up and up. I casually mentioned this fondue restaurant of my favorites, and raved about the delicious dessert, chocolate fondue.
A look came over his face incredulous horror. He had the same expression that I must have had when I saw spamSushi in Hawaii for the first time. Why was the only proper fondue cheese fondue and a chocolate fondue was just a false, unnatural thing. Any ideas of the Americans, an illiterate savage, decadent, and people have been confirmed in his eyes.
However, we have chocolate fondue, and I am forever grateful for them. In particular, we thank Konrad He, a Swiss (!) Koch, founded the Swiss Chalet restaurant in New York in 1964.

Fondue Bourguignon, on the other side was a French creation. Born out of necessity, amonaco medieval named Johann du Putzxe had the idea. He worked in the vineyards of Burgundy and needed a convenient way to lunch, as he collected the grapes. A pot full of hot oil, located close to where he could dunk the meat cooking and curiosity, as he worked, was the solution.
