Hey all -- as I mentioned in another thread, we had fondue the other
night. I started with old recipe I've had around for a while:

Cheese Fondue

snip

It was good, but I don't care for the taste of Cheez Whiz. I'm
thinking of subsituting real American cheese, but how much? Cheez
Whiz is measured by volume, but cheese is measured by weight. Any
suggestions? I don't want to overdo it.

I hadn't had a chance to catch up on this, as I went back to work
this week (yay!). Now I see why newbies don't like this group. I
asked about subsituting real cheese for Cheez Whiz and instead got
lectures on "real" fondue.

Nope. You got your leg pulled and some recipes to do cheese fondue.
Well, unless Sheldon started foaming again, of course ;-)
Then we had the usual thread-drift ...

First of all, I like Swiss fondue just
fine, but that's an entirely different dish. Secondly, one definition
of "fondue" is:

(2): a dish that consists of small pieces of food (as meat or fruit)
cooked in or dipped into a hot liquid

Yes, but that's the definition for fondue, not cheese-fondue... ;-)

from http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fondue

I can call the recipe I'm working on "fondue" and still be
correct. So there! ;-P

Hey, you wrote that you were not satisfied with the result !
That's the thanks we get for helping out (well, apart from a little fun ;-))

Cheers,
