Winter is here and the temperature drops. Everyone will want to eat hot pot and barbecue to warm up. This is also my favorite. My favorite is hot pot. Whether it is summer or winter, I have to eat hot pot once a week. I want to order it.

Things mainly fall into the following categories.

First of all, it must be meat. The indispensable meat is beef and lamb slices.

Because these slices of meat are thin and cooked immediately after being rinsed with water, they are very convenient to eat and are also a must-have item for hot pot.

Like Haidilao, there are several types of beef, such as high-quality beef, Laopai beef, etc. I can't tell the specific differences. I can only choose based on price.

But there are some not so good hot pot restaurants. The beef and lamb slices are synthetic meat, which may be some pork, mutton, and beef mixed together to reduce costs.

Another thing to order is the crispy yellow throat, duck intestines and hairy tripe.

These can be eaten as soon as you rinse them, and they taste very good.

In fact, tripe is also very particular. Both tripe and beef tripe are just different parts of the cow's stomach. They both taste great.

Seafood is also essential, such as shrimps and squid, which can be brought out in hot pot, making them fresh and delicious.

Next there are meatballs, the more classic ones include beef meatballs and pork meatballs.

Nowadays, various hot pot restaurants also have various kinds of meatballs, such as cheese balls, sea urchin balls, and salted egg yolk shrimp balls. The different tastes are very novel.

Similar to it, there are meat sliders, such as shrimp sliders and cuttlefish sliders. You can roll these into the size you like and cook them in a hot pot. They also taste good.

Finally, vegetables are definitely indispensable, divided into melons and green leafy vegetables.

As for melons, there are winter melon, lotus root, potatoes, white radish, etc.

Green leafy vegetables include lettuce, lettuce, watercress, Chinese cabbage, etc.

Not all vegetables are suitable for hot pot, and there are certain requirements.

In fact, the food eaten in barbecue and hot pot is very similar.

Barbeques are mainly grilled meat slices, and vegetables include eggplant, sweet potatoes, etc.

But a must-have for barbecue is lettuce.

With slices of meat sandwiched between lettuce, it tastes great!

Vegetables can relieve greasiness very well, and it is a good combination with greasy meat slices and the aroma of meat slices.

Nowadays, there are many buffet restaurants, which have hot pot and barbecue. The ingredients are all available. You can choose the cooking method at will, so that we can have a full meal at once.

But it should be noted that some low-priced restaurants use some stale ingredients. It is best to go around and take a look before choosing a restaurant to eat.

To sum up, for hot pot and barbecue, I mainly order meat, meatballs, vegetables, etc.
