I know. They're telling you Gruyere, Appenzeller. Emmenthal etc etc( all these are are different Swiss cheeses.
In Europe they sometimes make fondue just to use up all their cheese ends and as long as it's a meltable cheese they will use it.
You can use things like Cheddar,Swiss cheese( the sandwich stuff) Muenster even Brie, Camembert( almost anything).
You can't use things like Mozzarella. Parmigiano or Pecorino Romano because they won't melt ( the Mozz will only stretch and make a mess).
White dry wine( a little) and Kirsch( cherry liquor). No Kirsch, no problem, sub anything cherry. A few drops of cherry soda or juice is fine.
Cheese business( forever).
I made this last night...it was very rich and yummy.
Take equal parts butter and flour; melt butter in a sauce pan (I have a big family, so I made more than some might want, but just use your judgment here as per quantity) then stir in flour till it is thick, like a paste (called a roux). Add cold milk, whisking constantly over low heat. Let this cooked till thickened and bubbly (10-15 min, depending...) Season to taste with salt, pepper, maybe hot sauce, whatever. Then add in your cheese (I used shredded blend, and also a partial block of cheddar broken into pieces.) Keep stirring over low heat until blended well. This makes a rich, very,very smooth sauce that can be used for fondue. It was very good and quite inexpensive.
