Cut the bread into bite-sized pieces (retaining as much crust as possible). Rub a pan with garlic. Add white wine, lemon juice, and grated cheese (have the shop do it for you) to the pan and bring to a boil, stirring constantly with a whisk. Don’t stop until everything has become a mass! Combine the potato flour and kirsch in a shot glass, shake, and add it to the boiling liquid. Season with freshly ground pepper and a little nutmeg. Bring to a boil once, then immediately place it on a lit chafing dish and set it on the dining table. Finally, add the pieces of white bread.
