Today's flashback takes us back to China! Over Christmas break Jon's family took us all out to eat a very traditional Chinese meal, hot pot. I have explained the meal below using the pictures I took while we were at the restaurant.
 |
| This is a Chinese Hot Pot. The outer ring is a very spicy soup and the inner most container is a non-spicy soup. |
 |
| We all got up from the table to go look for the raw ingredients that we wanted to cook in our hot pot. |
 |
| They had brains. I do not know what kind of brains these are, but we did not eat these. |
 |
| Whole fish...gross. We did not eat this either. |
 |
| There were four different displays filled with different meat and veggie choices. The men behind the counter were in charge of preparing everything. |
 |
| Three trays was what we started with! We ate a lot that night and just kept going back for more. Look at all that yummy food! |
 |
| Next, you add the raw meat and veggies to the soup. The soup is on a gas stove so it is boiling. It cooks the food. After it is finished cooking you get what you want out with a spoon or your chopsticks. |
 |
| Jon and I love hot pot! We have this for dinner even in the U.S! |
 |
| We all had a lot of fun! |
 |
| Michelle is going to demonstrate the final step. After you pull out the cooked food, you put it in a bowl with soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, and garlic. You love let the food cool off and then eat it! |
 |
| See, some people dig their food out with chopsticks and other people, like me, use the spoon. |
 |
| It was great! As you can see there really isn't anything left, because it is all in our bellies! |

I've never had hot pot, but it sure looks good. :)
That looks really cool, but I would definitely skip the brains too! LOL Blech.
