Is civet cat hotpot really available?

No, at least not now.

I live in Japan, and I've never heard of Japanese eating civet hot pot. There are udon noodles for civet cats (たぬきぅどん) and udon noodles for foxes (きつねぅどん) in Japan, but they are just called by their names, and they don't really eat civet cats.

There are two theories about the origin of hot pot: one is that it was in the period of China Three Kingdoms or Wei Wendi, when the "bronze tripod" was the predecessor of hot pot; The other is that hot pot began in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the "dou" in unearthed cultural relics refers to hot pot. Visible hot pot in China has a history of more than 19 years.

Wei Shu records that in the Three Kingdoms period, when Cao Pi became emperor on behalf of Han Dynasty, hot pots made of copper appeared. People used hot pots to rinse pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens, fish and other meats, but they were not popular at that time. Later, with the further development of cooking technology, various hot pots appeared one after another.

by the time of the northern song dynasty, the pubs in Kaifeng, Bianjing, had hot pot in winter. By the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, dozens of different hot pots had been formed all over the country with their own characteristics. During the Muromachi era in Japan, hot pot was introduced from China to Japan in 1338. Japan calls hot pot "Shouxi Shao", also known as "Hoe Shao". Nowadays, hot pot has spread to the United States, France, Britain and other countries.

Hot pot, called "antique soup" in ancient times, is named after the "splash" sound when boiling water is put into it. It is an original food in China with a long history. According to textual research, the Eastern Han Dynasty cultural relic "wok bucket" unearthed after liberation is a hot pot. By the Song Dynasty, the eating method of hot pot had become common among the people. In Lin Hong's cookbook "Shan Jia Qing Gong" in the Southern Song Dynasty, there was an introduction to eating hot pot with his friends.
