Emmenthaler

Closely related to another fun word - fondue!
While the jury is still out in many places regarding the pronunciation of the final "er" in Emmenthaler, most can concur that the "th" is silent.

This delicious swiss cheese with adorable little holes, can be melted down and mixed with kirsch and garlic for bread dunking, or sliced thin for sandwiches, or cut into chunks and served with wine and pears.

Plus, it makes you sound so fancy at Trader Joes when you say you are looking for the "emmental"

Easy fondue - rub a garlic clove in your fondue pot (you know you have one somewhere - you stole it from your parents, or you thought they looked cute at Bed Bath and Beyond). Melt some butter (2 Tbsp). Add the same amount of flour. Stir to cook. Add a cup of white wine, and slowly add in grated "emmental" and gouda. When it's all melted in, add a 1/4 cup of kirsch. Serve with day old chunks of italian bread. He who looses bread in the cheese gets teased! And he who realizes that the cooked on cheese at the bottom of the pan is super yummy is the big winner!
