Cheese and crackers need to be added.

Fondue would be a cool concept to add. A small cauldron-like pot that would be placed on some sort of heat source (future candles, stove top, furnace, small kindling fire, etc.) then cheese would be added via right click event. The cheese would eventually melt then bubble when ready. Different foods could be right clicked against the pot to be fondued. Fondued food items would give more food and saturation values than normal. Possibly a way to extend items with potion effects. Once the heat source is removed, the cheese would slowly re-solidify and could be taken out.

This mechanic could possibly be used for other food items and even mod-integration with Rustic's olive oil mechanic.

Or the fondue could be single-block structure so it can be placed on tables and consists of a pot and a candle holder made of ceramics. Possible crafting recipe can be clay balls arranged in an H shape with a future candle at the bottom middle.
Just light the candle by right clicking the pot with flint and steel and put cheese slices in to activate it.

For the re-solidfing process, since cheese will be consumed via dipping foods (how many times it will take to use up a whole slice needs to be decided), it shouldn't return the whole cheese slice after use.

Once a cheese is placed in the communal pot it should still be able to be taken out in the same form.
When the candles below are lit, the cheese should melt and be changed to Xmb fondue cheese.
Each use should take out Xmb fondue cheese.
Extinguishing the flames would result in the fondue cheese changing back to a solid.
The solid cheese item should be [brand] hardened fondue Xmg.
The Xmg should equate 1 to 1 with the remaining Xmb fluid cheese.
