Paris in July is a blogging event with participants all over the globe celebrating all things Parissienne and French. For me, I love French Food, Wine and especially cheese. This week, my French class had a party, une fete de la Raclette. Oh my did we fill up on cheese...

CHEESE ON CHEESE ON CHEESE
If you are the kind of person that indiscriminately put cheese on everything that you eat (aren’t we all, deep down) La Raclette is the lunchtime treat for you. Essentially it’s a hard cheese that grilled ‘til it’s golden and bubbling, then scraped into a delicious gooey mess over potatoes and gherkins or straight into toasties. Pure heaven

Have you ever done this? This device has 2 layers for heating. Under the top tray is the griller. You put your cheese in a little pan under the grill, then when its all melty and yummy, you drizzle it over the plate of chosen items - sliced meat, potatoes, mushrooms, gerkins, capsicum etc..... on the top surface you can heat your other ingredients. We did les champinions et la pomme de terre.
My other Paris in July intentions include 2 guest posts, a celebration of La Quartoze Juillet, some reflections on french music, a movie, and maybe a book or parts thereof..
For those joining in this blogging event, I'll do a summary post kn sunday and a new mr linky for next week..

Oh wow! What a feast. I had raclette in Switzerland 5 years ago, and I still remember that exceptional ooze. My son has a tiny raclette pan, but nothing like these beauties.
My this looks wonderful.
As you say -- cheese is the staff of life. I've never had raclette (neither the specific Swiss cheese called raclette nor the melted version) but it looks delicious. I always thought it was Swiss, but Wikipedia says it's also native to Savoy.

I adore Raclette! I first had it when we went to Switzerland (the French part) back in 1971 - it is a Swiss dish after all. It was so yummy - they had this special raclette oven where you held an entire half of a Raclette round against the heat and then scrape it onto a potato when its melting, including the rind. So delicious. Later I found it on our Christmas markets in Germany, and finally we got a raclette as a wedding present. Unfortunately we had to give it up when we moved to the States, but I still remember it fondly.
I could eat that all day.
It's hard to find raclette in my part of the world. Oh, boy -- it looks delicious!
