Horst Mager's Cheese Fondue image

In Portland, Oregon, just off of Sandy Boulevard, there's a wonderful little German restaurant which has served some of the most delightful food for years. Included in the appetizers is a small portion of some incredible cheese fondue, served with various white and rye breads. Once upon a time, this restaurant's chef would actually give out his most popular recipes to anyone interested. Here for digital preservation is his fondue recipe. Preparation Notes: while you might be tempted to use some finer cheese varieties, don't - it is important to use processed cheese. Accent seasoning is MSG; if you have allergies to or reservations about it, omitting it has little effect on the final product. A double boiler is required to prevent the cheese from burning. Have fun!
