Hot pot (火锅) is many Chinese people’s favorite food, including mine. After having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes in the UK, you can imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome new students. On the way to the canteen, I could smell hot pot in the air.
To my surprise, when I stepped into the room, in front of me were still potatoes and bread. Where is the hot pot?
With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After chatting with a French girl, I got to know that hot pot is completely different from hotpot. Chinese hot pot is written in two words and hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.
Hotpot is made from mutton (羊肉) and onion. On the top there are sliced (切成片的) potatoes. People put it in the oven (烤箱) all day in a heavy pot and on a low heat (低温加热). It takes very little effort to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it’s easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn’t taste bad. However, I still miss hot pot, two words!
