Fondue (/ˈfɒndj/ or /ˈfɒnd/;[1] French pronunciation: ​[fɔ̃dy]) is a SwissItalian, and French dish of melted cheese served in a communal pot (caquelon or fondue pot) over a chafing stand (réchaud) heated with a candle or spirit lamp, and eaten by dipping bread into the cheese using long-stemmed forks. It was promoted as a Swiss national dish by the Swiss Cheese Union (Schweizerische Käseunion) in the 1930s, and was popularized in North America in the 1960s.
Since the 1950s, the name "fondue" has been generalized to other dishes in which a food is dipped into a communal pot of liquid kept hot in a fondue pot: chocolate fondue, in which pieces of fruit or pastry are dipped into a melted chocolate mixture, and fondue bourguignonne, in which pieces of meat are cooked in hot oil or broth.

guy talk
(Also known as man talk) essentially a mix of philosophy, politics, religion, sports, women, small talk, and profanity. Of this list, here are the approximate percentages, which can vary widely from conversation to conversation:

Philosophy: 10-40%
Sports: 10-70%
Politics: 15%
Others: 5%

It is in the purest sense a frank, to the point conversation that involves no trying to interpret the "deeper meaning" and involves no advice-giving. There's a code of chivalry that a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. Rarely does guy talk involve personal relationships except in the most cursory of ways unless one guy is going through some problems and needs some advice. Guy talk NEVER involves talk about what happens in the bedroom or gossip. Guy talk said in the room/bar/dwelling/strip club stays in the room/bar/dwelling/strip club.
