5 tablespoons flour
1 pint half and half
1 teaspoon meat flavoring sauce
2 to 4 tablespoons dry white wine

Stir flour into small amount of the cream until smooth. Add to the rest of the cream and meat sauce.

Stir into fondue pot over burner, then gradually add grated cheese, stirring constantly.

Add wine for correct consistency. It should be thick but not stringy.

Meanwhile, toast cubed French bread for a few minutes in a 400 degree oven.

Wine catsup sauce
1 cup catsup, 1/2 cup red wine, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon prepared mustard

Mustard sauce
1 cup mayonnaise, 1-1/2 teaspoons dry mustard, 3 tablespoons prepared mustard

Sweet-sour sauce
Heat together 1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt. Thicken with 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1 tablespoon water. Cook until transparent. Cool. Add a little crushed pineapple.

Sour cream-horseradish sauce
Combine 1 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons horseradish, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.

Chili-horseradish sauce
1 cup chili sauce, 1 tablespoon horseradish, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and a few drops Tabasco.
