It would be a pun if the meaning "bottom of the lake" somehow figured in to it and it would be bilingual if TEd hadn't cobbed the words "fondue lack" from a city in Wisconsin, USA.

bel sez: They're known as fondue plates here
I've seen fondue plates. They are usually white. The Mexican ones are much cooler, with little primitive paintings of cactus and burros and sombreros and shooting stars and cool things like that ... on terra cotta.

>>>They are usually white.
Really. How dull. Folks seem to love having fondues here so there are many different types of plates. There are those fine white china ones, thick terra-cotta brightly coloured ones, ones with even sections for chocolate fondues, plates with one big side and a slew of small side sections for meat fondues or cheese fondues.
I've never seen any with sombreros and cacti and things though.

Then, there's always a pottery class at the local Rec Center.

Hey--wouldn't it be a hoot to go to pottery class and create one of these 12-handled cups? Then when your classmates asked what on earth you were making, you could just say nonchalantly, "A tyg, of course".

Reading my mind again, Jackie?
