| - As per my usual tradition, I went to Bier Markt's annual fondue festival. I'm so glad that Bier Markt opened a location at Shops at Don Mills! Now I don't have to go all the way downtown to get my yearly fondue fix!
I'm not a big beer drinker, but I do like fruity ones. I ordered a Somersby apple cider and it was absolutely delicious!
Now onto the fondues!
Chorizo und fondue- smoked chorizo sausage, Quebec cheese curds, toasted bistro bread, served with Menchego and roasted red pepper fondue. This was my favourite of the two. I loved dipping a buttery, cheesy toasted sandwich into more cheese, and the red pepper flavour in the fondue paired wonderfully with the sandwich. In fact, I would've gladly eaten the chorizo sandwich without the fondue accompaniment.
Normandy fondue- Camembert cheese and cider, Kozlik's sweet and smokey Dijon, served with sourdough boule, granny smith apple, and smoked farmer's sausage. The mustard was rather pungent, and I found it a little overwhelming. I'm actually a great fan of mustard, but it was a bit too much in the fondue.
In the end, we finished the entire red pepper fondue, but there was a lot of the Normandy fondue left.
Sadly, we didn't have any room to try the dessert fondues. In particular, the cheese und cake fondue sounds absolutely amazing! I'm imagining it in my head like a molten cheesecake! Next year, I'll be sure to come with more people so we can try out more varieties!
