I wonder if you can find Cotija cheese for your Mexican fondue? It has that Mexican taste.

I'm not sure about Havarti, but there are several Dutch or Scandinavian cheeses I would consider using. Have you ever made or had a Mexican fondue? To me, what will make it Mexican will be the spices and hot peppers, not the specific cheeses.Ken Broadhursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430899802705818716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-41093860821878139692021-01-13T14:32:46.363+01:002021-01-13T14:32:46.363+01:00Do I recognize a youngish Walt with a lot of hair ...Do I recognize a youngish Walt with a lot of hair in front of La Bovida?chmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765675930520613520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-50378886611341824732021-01-13T14:26:04.938+01:002021-01-13T14:26:04.938+01:00What kind of cheese are you going to use for your ...What kind of cheese are you going to use for your Mexican fondue?
