The kirsch in the fondue reminds me of the passage in GR (p244):

>  Turns out that some merrymaker has earlier put a hundred grams of
>  hashish in the Hollandaise. Word of this has got around. There has
>  been a big run on broccoli.

...minus the punchline.

Maybe Pynchon has a penchant for dosed foods, or surprise foods (Pudding's 
recipes or Mrs. Quoads candies, also from GR.)
