Peut-etre fondue et racelette est la vraie potion magique?

Maybe fondue and hard cheese is the true magic potion.

So even my bad French can get the translation - it what does it mean? :-)

It smells like something out of Asterix - but what is the quote from?

Not a quote, just an Asterix reference- the savage tribes fighting off the (Holy) Roman Empire. Would be unseemly to make it in English.
