My parents tried Chongqing Hotpot for the FIRST TIME!

Ahh the glorious Chongqing hotpot, it's something everyone needs to try at least once in their lifetime! It's hot, spicy, mouth numbing, and if you haven't ordered at least 2 kinds of intestines, you're doing it all wrong! See what my parents thought of cow stomach, duck intestines and beef tongue...
Ps. For anyone learning Chinese out there, I was pronouncing Mao Du wrong this entire video 😂😂 it should be máodǔ not màodǔ

[@blacksagegrandmaster7699]

Also, the pizzle stuffs have always been on the restaurants' menu. They are just used to exploit people's stupid belief that it could help boost their hormones and sexual potency (which is completely false). I don't order these at all. Just eat your normal meat and veggies for your hotpot. The weird stuffs are just to fool those new to hotpot.

[@marie-suzankalogeropoulos9249]

Hi Amy, most impressed with the humorous heroism of yr mum and dad. My mum's from Sidney, and raised me in tasting all sorts of foreign food, so I hope this has remained a cosmopolitan Aussie tradition, and we're all so lucky you shared this great moment of adventure, for cultural curiosity and love of new experiences' sake! Can't have too much of this, nowadays! As for western cultures, some ought to know that tripes, and ox tongue, etc... have been used for centuries in Scotland or France, and Italy too, and considered top notch delicacies, except we don't drown them in chillie broth, witch is a hazard for some people's health... Some of that tradition could stem from those bits going off a little fast, in semi-tropical climate, as a preventive antiseptic... Thanks for a delightful share in your adventure, and stay well and sound for more fun in traveling!

"It's hot...and it's in a pot." Amy's dad is definitely a Nobel laureate, I can tell. 👨‍🔬👨‍🎓

the longer you cook the tripe/intestine/tongue the chewy they become so that's why they taste like rubber. If you cook just at the right time, they are in between a little chewy and crispy, which is the best state.

in fact, the 毛肚 will be too hard if the cooking time is too long. so timing is important. Similarly, the mutton or beef thin slicing, cooking just 20 secs max, the taste will be great and tender. if too long, it is hard and taste drops a lot.

little suggestions for the hotpot: 1) use separate chopsticks for cooking and eating to ensure hygiene and 2) when you cook food with your chopsticks, make sure to move the food around(with your chopstick) instead of holding it still to ensure the entire piece of intestine is cooked.

[@BlondieinChina]

Thanks for those tips!!! I'll make sure to do that next time :)

@@kennywong6045 Haha that's what I noticed too and thought of bringing up!! But wondered if anyone else bothered with using separate chopsticks for handling raw food.

[@GwenL]

@@LeoCL95 That's not true. I do lol!! It's what I was taught as a child. If you place your chopsticks to '"cook" for some time after handling raw food, it's fine. But sometimes people pick the raw meat and drop it in the soup and then use the same pair of chopsticks to eat the cooked food. Won't necessarily make you sick but if you get food poisoning, that could be why.....
