I've made fondue from scratch many times and it's not as easy as you
seem to think. Opening a package and warming it up is a lot easier,
especially when it's made with the traditional ingredients. Believe
it or not, there are places here in the USA where even decent brie is
not easy to find, so opening that package is the perfect answer to
hunting down Emmentaler and Guryere and hoping you can find kirsch at
the state liquor store.

What if you're in an area where that's not possible? What if you
invite friends over on the spur of the moment and decide you want
fondue? Heat and eat.

Just get American equivalents of those cheeses. As long as it tastes
good, who cares if you do the exact same thing as mountain folk on the
other side of the planet?

Do you also have a couple of frozen pizzas in your freezer for when
you have unexpected company? Or some cryovac hamburgers?

What did you not understand about the inability to find decent cheese?
You live in the middle of nowhere, so surely you have a faint clue.

Oh come on, don't you live in SF? You can buy organic lactose-free
Bolivian yak cheese from fair-trade free-range yak shepherds.

Maybe they don't feel like prefab cheese fondue and would prefer a
prefab pizza margharita with pink slime and fake cheese.

I'd have to like it in order to serve it and I hate frozen pizza.

There's no law that says I can't kill them. When I'm done, I'm
completely done. None of that namby pamby skipping baloney. AFAIC,
if I'm skipping them anyway, I don't even want to see their name in
the TOC. They are dead to me.

Read? Then it's the thread that won't die. Like I said, when I'm
done, I'm completely over the poster, the thread, whatever.

Korean flavored salt is a new one on me... and you called it
supercharged. If you ever want to taste salty salt, try the American
Pink Salt from Utah called "Real Salt". http://www.realsalt.com/
I see something new every time I visit their website, haven't noticed
Kosher before. Now I'm thinking I'll order their Kosher the next time
I need to refill and see what that's all about.

It's very possible that the bramble or briar bush was not a variety
that bears fruit; however, it's possible it could be any numuber of
prickly scrambling vines or shrubs, especially a blackberry or other
wild shrub of the rose family.
