Directions

A Swiss cheese delicacy. There is some confusion over whether raclette refers to a specific type of cheese or to the dish itself.

(At this writing, I'm not too sure myself).

Light a good fire. Buy yourself a half wheel of real Raclette cheese, preferably from the Valais, between three and five months old. Scrape off the rind, top and bottom, so that the cheese can melt more easily. Prepare boiled potatoes in their skins and have a ready supply of gherkins or cornichons, pickled onions and black pepper. When the fire dies to a mass of glowing embers, procure yourself a large flat stone and put it before the fire. Set the half cheese on top, its cut surface exposed to the heat. Nearby have a supply of plates. As the cheese melts, scrape it off on to a plate and serve it at once.
