He's been needlessly pedantic, aggro, or outright an rear end in a top hat on multiple occasions, and it's been grating on my nerves for a while now. I'm generally OK with most of it, and I'll let it slide, until you start insulting someone's food for no reason, especially when you haven't loving even tried it. Because clearly, I'm a guy who doesn't like flavour, so I'd praise something that's bland. Right. And a bunch of people who hang out in a loving food forum can't manage to figure out between us how to make something have flavour. Seriously.

Someone saying, "I don't know how yours came out, but here's how I do mine" is cool, because it's sharing your own experiences, and we can all learn from it. Why is it necessary to down someone's food when you (1) don't know what's in it, (2) weren't there to try it, and (3) nobody loving asked?

(1) He does know what wasn't in it, though, and then stated the things that he would like in it. (2) Well, that's the same with any criticism or comments about what someone cooks/eats on the internet, isn't it? (3) This is a chat thread between, essentially, friends. One could argue that no one asked you about the hot pot you ate, either, but you decided to tell people about it, too. And there's nothing wrong with that.

Also I really don't think he was trying to rip on charmmi's cooking or whatever.

My bet is that dino, who is a very appreciative person, who is in touch with his emotions, and who thoroughly enjoys something when he says he does actually took your conversational masterpiece as a bit more than what it was meant as. I am pretty sure that dino would like to point out that the people he ate with (who are delightful, by the way), have put considerable effort into actually catering to his specific culinary needs, and thereby the first assumption shouldn't be that they had failed miserably, but rather had succeeded to the best of their abilities given the requirements and limitations imposed by dinos diet.

Dino may have felt great appreciation of the fact that someone actually took the bother to change their general dietary practices, only for the joy of being together with dino.

You then equate the joy of being with dino with a bland experience.

Seen from your perspective - it is more "Fish beats vegetables - lol".

So I see a failure to communicate evolve - which is never a good thing, because I, personally, am convinced that you individually are great persons.

On top of this, dino is for once not thinking with love in his heart, but with fire in his penis.

So in total - you should do a consolidatory cook-off, where you, in common, create a non-bland vegetable hot pot (or hot water heater - what the actual gently caress is a hot pot? are your loving pots cold? does it have anything to do with bong-water???), together, and share it on these forums.

If I were to say, it would be a requirement that you post at least a 10 line poem about the appreciation you feel for eachother on top of this, and recite it on youtube to show the world that you're now best of pals again.

It's just directly lifted from Chinese "rè guó" - "warm pot". Not hot as in "spicy" (là). It was just a convenient way of eating for poor people who have a lot of heartroom, and love company, but own few pots and pans.

I think part of the reaction comes from the fact that traditionally the entire point of hot pot or shabu shabu is to quickly cook thinnly sliced meat in just a few seconds at the table. Shabu shabu, the name, comes from the sound of swishing a slice of meat through the broth.

I'm not sure how Charmmi did it since vegetables tend to take longer to cook, and I'm pretty intrigued as to what would be used for a vegan hotpot, but I understand the sentiment that fish balls etc are a core component which would be sorely missed. Either way, I'm sure it was delicious.

Well here in China it's not just meat that's used in hotpot. There's like 10 different types of tofu, different mushrooms, potatoes, sweet potatoes, lotus root, carrots, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, wheat and rice noodles, etc.

Usually when we go, we order mostly vegan stuff and like 1 small plate of sliced lamb or something. I've gone with vegan friends and left out the lamb and it's still good. The spicy broths tend to be vegan anyway.

Hot pot usually involves leaving the food for a while.

Chinese women love, love, love hotpot. It's their dish. Men are perfectly allowed to eat it, even without women present. But women turn the meal into communion. They marvel at the spread of plates brim-full with fish, shrimp, shellfish and fish cakes, of thinly sliced mutton, beef, pork, tripe, tongue, duck entrails wound like rope, of smoked and deep-fried and pressed and marinated and dried tofu, mushrooms, spinach and cabbage, fat rice cakes and thin glass noodles. As the two soups heat (usually there's a white and a hot red) they chat, and gossip, and confide. They mix bowls of condiments and finally they start adding ingredients according to agreement - some more shrimp, perhaps? Qin ai de, do you like scallops? Another one, perhaps? They can keep it up for hours. The Chinese Female Hot Pot should be on the UNESCO world heritage list.

Sjurygg - I depend on you here, because these americans are using words in a way where they make sense individually, but not in connection.

You have a pot of broth, and in that broth the individuals puts different stuff, and then the stuff is removed for individual consumption... Kinda like fondue?

It is broth, but not shallow frying or some such, so basically everything is prepared at a temperature of what? 80 degrees? Then you make soup with the individual trimmings, or?

How do you seperate the different items, is it one communal pot or individual pots? do you hold on to what you have put in while doing it?

Are the fish testes thinly sliced too?

Edit: Many of my questions were answered beforehand!

This is true but my girlfriend and I don't really like meat enough to order all of those animal products at one time. Also the men have to drink crappy beer the whole time, which is a pretty good pairing with the food.

It is a low, wide pot with a hotplate. You put it in the middle of your table and add a flavorful liquid like broth and various yummy things like vegetables and meat and tofu in it. Then you put on the cover and it simmers while you talk with friends or family or watch TV with them. Then once it is done you take the cover off and use chopsticks to pick yummy things out and eat them, maybe with rice on the side to drip the flavorful liquid on as you eat.

Edit: Many of my questions were answered beforehand!

You have lots of plates of sliced, raw ingredients. You put them in a communal pot of boiling or near boiling oily broth, wait a while, then fish around with chopsticks or a slotted spoon to take individual cooked pieces out for yourself or your significant other. You place these cooked, relatively dry items in an individual bowl, a bowl which you've previously filled with cold condiments like sesame oil, sliced chile peppers, chopped peanuts, soy sauce, mashed garlic, or other things like that. Then you lift the pieces of cooked food, place in mouth, chew, and swallow.

e: there's different types of hot pot, although the core concept is the same. The guy above me posted a slightly different way of doing it, more home style, whereas my description is more restaurant style.

I didn't mean to imply that vegetables weren't used. If I understand the motivation behind hot pot correctly, it is that thinly sliced meat is best with a very short cooking time and eaten straight out of the pot. My intrigue comes from the fact that if they only used what you listed, there would be a lot more throwing things into a pot and waiting - where it becomes similar to just doing a stovetop soup. Vs the usual, one person throwing the veggies/noodles/fish balls etc into the pot, and everyone swishing their own meat and eating that while fishing the other stuff out from deep under. I'm wondering if Charmmi did something to emulate the latter more than the first.

Just to be clear, there's no judging here. Just understanding where Grav was coming from, even if I don't necessarily agree with what he posted, and curiousity at something done differently than my usual experience growing up and with various chefs.

I've never had potato/sweet potato in my hot pot anywhere. Is that a new thing or a regional thing? I'm not sure if I like the sound of it, hm.
