There are many types of hot pot in China, including mutton-shabu-shabu in copper pots in the north, and spicy butter pot in the south. Many friends are interested in this. Everyone loves hot pot, but what is it like for foreign friends to eat hot pot for the first time? A friend took a foreign friend to eat Sichuan hot pot, because foreign friends basically don’t eat offal, and they ordered some dishes such as goose intestines, hairy tripe, and fat intestines. The foreigner looked at it while eating and asked, what is the length of this pot? What is it? My friend said goose intestines. Then he was stunned for a moment and went to eat the beef in the bowl. After a while, I put some pieces of fat intestines for him. I was about to tell him what it was, but he said don’t tell me, I I ate it first, but after finishing it I sighed that it was so delicious, as if I had opened the door to a new world. From then on, I never asked questions when eating hot pot, and just said that such a delicious thing doesn’t matter what it is.
