*did this hot pot make you hungry?* _what is your favorite food to add to hot pot?_

[@kathbowers8257]

I love it when organ meats are added to the mix!

[@MexicanosenChina]

Maaan! So hungry!!! I haven´t had one of those in ages. I know what I´m having tonight for dinner 🙂😀👍

[@yanniq9905]

i shouldn't be watching this at late night haha.. so hungry! 肥牛，鸭血，豆腐皮，茼蒿！！

I like tofu skin and tofu sponge (I forgot the proper term)

@@AmelieZh 冻豆腐 or 面筋 ？ 油豆皮 is also good.

you are most welcome!

Yes, you are making me hungry and is only 9ish (I am on the same time zone as China) in the morning and I just had breakfast. Good to see everyone enjoying themselves.

[@FoodXBert]

I love the hot pot in Chengdu and Chongqing. It's so flavorful.

[@dannymacarthur13]

Omg...I remember being in Chongqing, the food was amazing. The best hotpot ever! I miss being in China,,,

For me, Hot Pot is all about the Mood, a group of people sharing spicy as hell food

[@fjculver4413]

I'm enjoying this video while ascending Mt Emei. Fantastic and vibrant color you captured. The duck blood is absolutely scrumptious in spicy hotpot.

[@JaYoeNation]

Wow awesome hope you have a clear view from the top

[@fjculver4413]

@@JaYoeNation rained a lot but got above the weather around 2500m. Pretty spectacular looking down at clouds from above. Massive Golden Elephant temple at the top just above 3000m. Worthwhile especially with all the roast pork and sweet potatoes and corn on the way.

Marvelous, seems very tasty.

Great video. I felt like I was back in China.

[@yiy3429]

I love your video. It is a powerful appetizer.

[@leavesgreen7729]

I'm in Chengdu, downstairs we can find hotpot restaurant,but I'm sick,throat has a lot of pain,the video made me wanna go downstairs to order a table of hotpot... Being a chengduer, I prefer eating Chongqing Hotpot... Chengdu and Chongqing Hotpot are both good though.

[@Michael-kv9pp]

I hate this video, but still have to give a thumbs up... You're making me very jealous being able to go out and enjoy all the food and travel while I'm stuck at home in lockdown.

[@JaYoeNation]

lol.. sorry... :(

[@xinli9824]

I ate hotpot last Friday, probably a subliminal effect of watching your Chongqing videos. You are a huoguo whisperer.

[@JaYoeNation]

lol

[@otron805]

My mouth is watering seeing those hotpot.

[@yanatas]

Truly beautiful. The food, people, & culture are amazing. More than that, it's how generous & kind are some of these chongqing people when hosting Caucasians. I just dont understand why with such generosity, we still have to make these people as our next enemy. What gives?

[@bet-ray-again]

Nicely put, yeah makes no sense. Not going to work these pppl are not russians.

[@sheepmasterr]

Man so true so so true!

[@thach8956]

what a nice epsiode

[@james-yj7gp]

True

[@JaYoeNation]

i get the sarcasm... but it's weird being referred to as the "Caucasian"....

Chongqing hotpot , the best, I am from Chongqing

[@toufuhero]

Nice video Matt! That sure looks delish 😭👍 why are there even "dislikes" for this video?!

lots of people hate me for saying anything nice about china... thats why... foolish people... other just hate me for being me...

[@johnnyleung2123]

Very delicious,,I like it 。

[@JaYoeNation]

Me too!

[@wanli5856]

Make me hungry?! I almost ate my phone 😂

[@leonardpearlman4017]

1:50 when she's explaining about the grid in the hot pot, I'm thinking that when you have an "open" hot pot, stuff gets away from you sometimes and your clever friends will eat your stuff if they can! Maybe it's just MY friends. Anyway, looks amazing, hard to imagine a KETTLE full of hot oil to cook in, if that's what we're seeing here? I make different kinds of hot pot, but they're always based on broth of some kind, or occasionally just water. This is another level!

[@lindahopson5003]

Love Alex's comment... "Health and safety is number two right after getting the shot." Interesting vlog... now I'm going to have to see if I can try hot pot... vegan style.

[@bethoneill7011]

Wow..you guys should have your own food show...very interesting..Hello to Annie and Eva.

[@aisve3355]

Hotpot here in Chongqing is no longer for poor people anymore'; as you can see, if you don't have money, you can simply walk in and order a hotpot meal.

[@phonoodles7002]

这家老油火锅和食材看过去很棒

[@taboobunny9186]

people who don't eat stuff like these don't know what they're missing out. Yes, it might looks gross and unsavoury the first few times you have it. But, after a while, you'll get used to it. And before long, you'll be addicted.

[@JaYoeNation]

Hahah. Maybe for some. But for me it was the first time to convince me I love it!

[@yiqingwen3230]

I tend to agree except for one thing: chicken fingers. Don't get me wrong, I grew up witnessing people eating chicken fingers but never got to try myself until many years later in my life but still think they are gross and refuse to eat them again. My problem is that they are my wife's favorite, when she is eating those what she thinks special treats, I feel like she is munching human fingers, and I get grossed out, every single time.

[@iplaymanygames69]

the irony is most people eat ground up factory meat like nuggets, imitation sausages/meat stuffed with chemicals and they think its 'better' food.

[@cheese-df1yx]

Best hotpot! best video! thanks!

[@alberttang6207]

I feel hungry just watching the clip. Lucky you guys has a local guide as I am a Cantonese and have no clue what dish is best to order. Was it very spicy hot? Can you all eat really spicy hot food？

[@moulion]

Damn it, I'm under lockdown here

[@johnsonjan]

I empathise. I’ve been in self isolation for over six months. Only a few of my carers can visit me very briefly.

[@ecrush5080]

Matt, sir... may i ask something .... this vid is recorded after or before Chongqing flood that u guys live streamed a while ago... at first i thought it's before, but the last minute of this vid make me confuse about the timeline

[@JaYoeNation]

this video was recorded a couple weeks before my flood livestream... I am behind on my edits.

[@kenho6815]

@@JaYoeNation The confusion is, How did you know how high the flooding was in ChongQing if you were there before the flooding occurred. At the end of the video you indicate the flood level. Did you go back to ChongQing after the flooding? or were you there before during and after the flooding

[@ecrush5080]

@@kenho6815 +1 maybe what matt mentioning is the earlier flood (let say it's the 1st wave) , the flood that he live streamed is the "2nd" wave

[@JaYoeNation]

I know it’s a bit confusing. There was the big flooding towards the end of July. I came on my trip after that. I made some live-streams while I was there. Those are the first you might have seen. Then I finished with iChongqing and went to the 3 gorges dam. I prioritized those videos because the dam was in the news. When I left I kept in contact with my friends at iChongqing and the second flood period came. It was a bit of a surprise. So I asked if we could livestream about it and so we all arranged those flooding live-streams from the city. I brought all the video home and now you are seeing the actual produced episodes. Sometimes live videos can jumble the timeline a lot.

[@ecrush5080]

[@glennw.4570]

Yes, Chongqing hotpot is the absolute best! Those Sichuan peppercorns really make your whole mouth tingle! My favourite hotpot ingredient is blood tofu. Duck or pig, I don't care which one. Both are delicious! Oh, I had to come back and add that duck intestines will be a close second place for my favourite hotpot ingredient.

[@fjculver4413]

The duck blood is sooooo good in a spicy hot pot. Completely agree.

[@48peon]

You guys are cool. Please keep this coming. But, I'm pretty sure that place has bunch no if tourists. Still fantastic though.

[@LisaTao]

I can have hotpot 7 days a week I kid you not😁😁😁 favorites are fresh water eel, cow livers and pig brains. It’s better to submerge and swish everything in the sesame oil first, it’ll nock off an edge of that spiciness.

[@AmelieZh]

这只是冰山一角。 在中国，火锅分成两个派系，南方vs北方。 南方： 就是视频当中以辣为主，家禽类内脏作为主菜。九宫格火锅，汤底口味很重。代表地区（成都/重庆） 蘸料常用油碟和干碟 北方： 铜质火锅，以清汤或高汤为主，羊肉作为主菜，汤底口味很清淡。代表地区（北京/河北） 蘸料常用麻酱。 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 如果有机会，您可以去北京/河北，试试羊肉火锅。

@@JaYoeNation Haha :) if you enjoy spicy food then Chongqing Hotpot is probably better. Teochew (Shantou/Chaozhou) is in Guangdong so obviously it's not gonna be spicy at all.
