Raclette is a Swiss tradition (also seen in the Savoyard region of France) where cheese is melted under a grill or on a heated metal plate. The melted cheese is then scraped off onto a plate and served with boiled new potatoes. While my description doesn't sound terribly appetizing, hopefully the pictures will appeal. Raclette is a special type of cheese and the entire meal is delicious. Often served along with regional dried meats, gherkins, pickled onions, pickled courgettes, and bread, the cheese and potatoes are a great combination!

(keeping in mind there were only about a dozen of us eating!!!)
This particular evening was at the restaurant in Champoussin. One server was responsible for melting the cheese while the other server delivered the cheese, plate by plate, as much as you could eat, and made sure that everyone had drinks, bread, and anything else they needed.
