Raclette is a type of cheese.
They put it on a rotating spit and slowly melt off blobs of it onto a plate. They then serve it to you with small "new" potatoes and pearl onions.
It is a very simple dish and my first thought was that "how could this be any good?" But, it was amazing.
Of course drinking a cold coke had the effect of hardening a whole bunch of warm (when it entered my stomach) cheese. THAT is why I couldn't poop.
