There was nothing I wanted more than a grilled cheese sandwich, and I ordered it with a coffee. I was so looking forward to a really cheesy one—a grilled cheese sandwich just oozing with cheese. I thought about it as I waited, then accepted from the man at the counter a white paper plate, with a sandwich wrapped in foil that was white on the outside and silvery on the inside to keep it really warm… I eagerly unwrapped the sandwich, but when I bit into it, it was soggy, and there was almost no cheese. It was not what I wanted, not what I had been picturing, but I adjusted myself to the reality of it. Better to have a good imagination than a good grilled cheese sandwich, I told myself.

LOL; WHAT have I done….?! I thought EVERYBODY knew what raclette is!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raclette
It’s the most delicious way of eating cheese, seriously…. But it’s not exactly a lightweight affair, this has to be said too. But hey, SO WORTH it. Have 2 tablets of bicarbonate sodium before the meal and get that crisp white or not too heavy red (optional tea) ready. It’s heaven. Get nice small spuds with it, pepper, or as we have it ‘raclette spice mixtures’, maybe small silvery onions (or onion rings), gherkins and voilà, you’re in…. Just don’t come and complain to me afterwards.
So you see, something else the poor Swiss have invented. Although many places claim to have come up with the idea, we like to believe that it was the poor farmers with a few cows (for the cheese) and a patato field who invented it….. Being a generous person, I don’t fight over ownership – I just enjoy it.
David, if I could, I would be delighted to invite you to a raclette right here and now. It made me really hungry and I wouldn’t know the last time that a non related post made me so mouthwatering drawn to this indulgence….. so much so that I phoned my sister and asked her if she could offer Hero Husband and me a raclette next Sunday when we visit! 🙂

But the damage was limited by him serving all of us, approx 3hrs into the affair, his famous home-made grapefruit sorbet…..

Christie, sorry to correct you (i REALLY am….) but you either have a fondue or a raclette. There is NO ‘and’ – What this looks like is a Fondue, usually (normally) all you do you dunk a piece of baguette or (preferably stale) bread in the cheese, you retreat your fondue fork with the tasty morsel and you wind the liquid cheese around the piece of bread just like spaghetti and then you drive the goodies home into your mouth. You only eat Fondue with people you like, as you are all eating from one pot!!!!!
Raclette is, if you so want, more civil. Everybody has their own place and portion. The classic style (and the best) if the ‘cheese master’ is scraping the melted cheese directly from a half-loaf, held in a sturdy clamp, and heated under a grill (you can either buy the whole equipment or rent it, my brother went for the Full Monthy and inviting the whole family once per year to a mega feast I think he must have amortised the costs!). You pour the melted cheese over the patatos and eat it with some gherkins, onions, or just like that!
Now I can’t wait to have my next raclette at my sister’s place!!!!
