This is one of our favourites. Brie cheese on the grill. Dip an assortment of crackers. 
I spice it up with various different spices. Tonight is club house maple bacon steak spice. A yummy treat.

Here's an easy recipe that's a yummy treat.
First, I mix some "just add water" pancake batter in a cast iron. Sprinkle some white chocolate chips (or dark, whichever you prefer) 3 heaping tablespoons of brown sugar, some frozen fruit(I just grabbed strawberries this time) and put it on the BBQ for about 20 minutes.

My wife enjoys thrift shopping and will send me pictures of any cast iron she comes across. She brought this home last year and I've yet to use it anywhere. I also ordered a tripod for the fire pit last year and hadn't used it yet. The water boiled in 20 minutes. This turned out to be a great score. The lid stays on nicely when tilting it to drain the water so you don't need a strainer. I boiled some noodles for lunch and added the small pkg of spices after straining it.

Breakfast is ready. Fried spam. Bannock and eggs.
The newest piece of Cast Iron for the lovely Mrs_Bob.
Today is our 40th Anniversary, this was her gift. We stopped doing big gifts several years ago. Now we do fun/collectibles.
I brought this in from Germany, it is a European market exclusive so not generally available outside of the EU.
Fondue set, with special embossing of a Swiss mountain scene around the pot, in a special winter white enamel color.
She probably has 20 (or more?!?) limited or exclusive edition Staub pieces, all made in France. Mostly special colors, limited designs, rare collectibles, or market exclusives. Unlike pure collectors, we actually cook in these. So if you want to pay crazy prices on the secondary or tertiary market for new in box stuff, we don't have it. We have the originals, lovingly used, and ready to pass down in our will to Melen and Dasha.
Melen already has several pieces of rare Staub. Dasha has yet to get started . . . but she just moved into her new apartment 5 months ago, so she has many upcoming birthdays and Christmases to start receiving heavy boxes full of cast iron.

Nice find. We have a smaller cast iron fondue set as well. Ours isn't enamel though.
Almost all of our cast iron is enamel coated.
We do have some traditional cast iron skillets and things too, hard to beat cooking in cast iron of any type. Works on the stove top, in the oven, over a fire, and on the BBQ grill. The enamel coated stuff is just as easy to use, but you have to be a little bit careful not to crack the enamel so it can't be banged around, but it is still very durable.
Most of it is from the brand STAUB, which is made in France, and most of that is limited edition pieces or limited colors, etc. And for the most part it sits on a display shelf. We cook with it, regularly, so it's not just for display, but we have some favorites that get used more than others. Some of the smaller pieces have never been used because they are not vey practical in size for cooking.
It has become a tradition to give/get these as gifts. Many are not readily available in the US market so I shop the European and Asian markets and get them shipped it from a couple trusted sources. We have more than we need, obviously, but they are fun. And some are very seasonal and come out for various holidays.
Birthdays, mother's day, Christmas, anniversary gifts . . . pretty much a sure bet there will be a cast iron pot, pan, or baking dish somewhere covered with wrapping paper.
