skidaisuki 0 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 A good katsu curry always goes down well when skiing. Would like to find somewhere that does cheese fondue on-piste in Japan for that Euro-Alps experience, though - any ideas? Skiing hard takes all guilt out of eating hard.

Jynxx 4 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 You guys talking about cheese fondu or the oil one with meat and veg? Can't think of a way to stuff up on something like fondu which is tempura without batter , it's a lot easier! Cheese fondu on the other hand it's difficult to get the cheese ingredients...

ILoveZao 8 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Cheese fondu. There was a place in Zao last season that did it but I do not know how authentic it was because I never had a real one. Link to post Share on other sites

the snowboarding vicar 1 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 \cheese fondue at a ski resort sounds good. i wonder what Cheeseman would say. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Fondue- schmondue, the first few dips are ok but you end up eating to much & end up with a stodgy lump in the gut. Give me oodles of noodles and thrice the rice anyday. Bye now, I am off to batten down the hatches for cheeseman's expected reply Link to post Share on other sites
