Had he ever tasted the Valais version of the Savoyard fondue?

My comment:

The protagonist seems to be jingoistic (French-is-best-minded) and for him the genuine fondue can only be from Savoy (a French province whereas Valais is a Swiss province). Thus the phrase is intended to be ironical, or at least humorous.
