Steamed red-skinned potato chunks, grilled or toasted Tuscan bread cubes, and pear slices are all great for dipping in fondue cheese. Be sure to stir the Swiss fondue as you dip. Eat the cheese by dipping accompaniments like cubed bread, cooked potatoes, sliced apples, pears, cornichons, pickled pearl onions, and salami into the pot. Be careful when dipping: The person who loses their garnish in the pot usually has to pay a penalty to the rest of the people at the table, like buy a round of drinks or clean up after the meal. After you eat the melted fondue cheese, the layer at the bottom of the pot cooks into a crust called a religieuse, a reward for the table eaten at the end of the meal.
