Our introduction to Raclette

Raclette is both a type of cheese and a method of eating yummy melted cheese. We were invited over to have Raclette at the home of one of ZDG's colleagues. She had a cool Raclette grill like this . In a little pan you prepare your favorite ingredients, ie pototoes and/or cured meats, and top it with cheese, and then place it in the grill where the cheese melts and browns as you like. Then you use a little wooden paddle to scrape the melted goop onto your plate. In addition to the traditional ingredients, we also had zucchini, corn, and pineapple. It's a nice sociable and leisurely way to have dinner. And, LGG liked the melted cheese.

Afterward we went for a walk along the river to make room for the Sachertorte that ZDG and LGG picked up earlier today.

I think I'll have to keep my eyes open for a Raclette grill.
