Cheese fondue, Switzerland
瑞士奶酪火锅

A heaving pot of bubbling cheese with bite-sized bread and vegetables to dip into it, that’s what hot pot in Switzerland is about. The dish bears a French name: fondue.
一锅沸腾的奶酪，再加上切成小块的面包和蔬菜，这就是瑞士火锅。这道没有有一个法文名字：fondue，意思是奶酪热蘸锅。

Legend has it that the cheese fondue was created by two shepherds in the Alps. Whether or not that’s true, one thing is for sure: the Swiss are credited with creating the fondue. It is always served as a main dish in the country, not as an appetizer or as part of a multi-course meal.
传说奶酪火锅是由两位住在阿尔卑斯山的牧羊人发明的。不管传闻真假，有一件事可以肯定：瑞士是奶酪火锅的发源地。一直以来，奶酪火锅都是瑞士人餐桌上一道主菜，而不是开胃菜或是套餐的一部分。

But beware, the etiquette for eating fondue forbids double dipping. And if a person drops their bread into the cheese they must kiss the person to their left. Or you could drop it on purpose if you happen to fancy the person next to you.
食用奶酪火锅时要注意餐桌礼仪，切记不要蘸食两次。如果有人将面包掉入奶酪中，那么他/她必须亲吻坐在自己左边的人。或者如果你恰巧钟情于身边的人，那么也可以故意失手哦。
