We have a cheesy fondue pack just going out of date which we want to use asap, but everything traditionally dipped in it seems to be a beige carb.

What could I suggest as a suitable alternative, other than just eating it with a spoon?

Thanks!

I love it with cauliflower cooked al dente, and I've even used sausages to dip in the cheese fondue.
Raw bell pepper tastes very good as well.

Thanks. I don't like raw celery and doubt cooked would work, but I'm intrigued by avocado. Presumably it has to be pretty firm otherwise it'd just disappear off the fork?

Rolled up ham, any lightly cooked veggies, more cheese? Whole sautéed mushrooms.

I've ordered some good quality cocktail sausages and we already have chunky bacon and tenderstem broccoli in the fridge so I think we're sorted. Thanks everyone for suggestions
