Last night we went up to Anne-Marie and Paul’s place for a raclette. Much like its cousin the fondue, raclette is peasant food involving melted cheese. Needless to say, our modern version is a bit more sophisticated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As well as slices of cheese, the essential components of a modern raclette are small boiled potatoes and dried or cured meat. Anne-Marie also prepared some roast vegetables and a nice salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slices of cheese are placed in a small metal tray, which sits on top of a burner. While the cheese melts in the tray, spices or herbs can be added. The melted cheese is then scraped off onto your plate to be eaten along with everything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The burners that melt the cheese are powered by nothing more than a couple of tea-light candles, so the cheese takes a while to melt. This is the very essence of a raclette evening – the meal can go on for hours – it’s a very social event. Later on, Anne-Marie found something to go in Val’s hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
