It is a weird name for a beer.
Our related word is 'fowl' by the way. As always V and F interchange between Dutch and English, and the further west you go through Vlanderen the softer the g gets, so genough ends up enough in English, pronounced enuf.
Our languages are very close, and there are many consistent patterns. Such as Midge, mug, bridge, brug, ridge, rug etc.

When one gets to the root of such comments, they're easy to brush aside. In part, because they comb to us so easily.

To quote My Gumby, "my brain hurts"...but seriously, is the correct verb "thrower"? or "molder"? or something else? I'm afraid my experience with pottery is limited to the movie Ghost

Cool...so "throw" it is

I used to greatly enjoy puns about pottery but lately I've lost that loving feeling for them.

How to make the perfect fondue | Food | The Guardian[^]
Have to say I agree with the Picpoul wine, I always thought it the best wine to use, and it is particularly cheap and nasty to drink (at least it was cheap in France).
Comte emental and gruyere were my cheeses, but havent tried it in the UK, so I'll have to do some experimenting:
1) Bavarian smoked? We get this in the UK, soft, creamy, and nicely flavoured.
2) Old Gouda/Amsterdammer? Really rich and flavoursome.
3) Cheddar? What CANT you cook with this cheese? But the cheap generic type or the crystaline burns your tongue?
4) Any other cheeses in the UK worth using?
As always wipe the pan with garlic and add a bayleaf plus cornflour.
Wine or beer? How about an IPA?

Wine - copious amounts, and forfeits if you drop the bread in!

I think I have a couple, one for the stove and another electric. I do like 'em!

I used to have one that ran on meths, but that got harder to find, so I switched to a tea-light powered one. Start it on the stove, then transfer to the tealight on the table - and begin getting ratassed with friends ...

Deffo go for the Comte ... but not the young stuff you get in the supermarkets ... try a 24 month aged, much more flavour and less sweet.
Just an excuse to share a cheese-related link really Comté Cheese - Official UK site[^]

Use Gruyere if you can find it
Also, if you can lay your hands on "Old Amsterdam", then the same shop will probably sell Emmenthaler.

A good German lager; which you could also use in the fondue itself, instead of the traditional wine.
Any cheese that's left, can be frozen and grated to go over future pizza's.

No beer !!
For the cheese : Usually 60% beaufort, 20% comté and 20% tomme de savoie
For the wine : vin jaune, or a chablis, or even a pinot blanc or a riesling from ... (guess where) ... Alsace.
I can organize something and get it setn to UK (are you there at the present time ? I lost track), PM me if you are interested.

I am thinking of English ingredients though, hence my question about beer and cheeses I can get here. I particularly think the smoked Bavarian could be very interesting, but I doubt you have tried it, so wont know its unique creaminess and smokey flavour.
It is what to mix it with thats the question, probably something not to overpowering.
(And I used to use Cantal entre deux as well, has a dryness that works well)
