对于大多数人来说冬天是臃肿的季节，笨重的棉服让他们行动起来非常不便，于是他们成了宅在家里的喵（卖萌状）。但是对于吃货们来说：冬天=火锅！

没有火锅的冬天是不完整的！

但是！但是！我今天不是来和大家交流火锅的。而是如果你带着歪果仁去吃火锅，如何才能高雅的给人家介绍菜单上那些食材，特别是五花八门的调味料呢？

对于习惯一人吃一份菜的歪果仁来说，火锅简直颠覆了他们的三观：原来一顿饭还可以这样吃得这么好玩，新世界的大门打开了……

快来看看外国小伙伴都怎么描述火锅的吧。

► So much fun and so god-damn delicious. Basically the best communal food ever :)

好玩！好吃爆了！基本上是最好的大家一起吃的东西了！

► Chinese hot pot is truly communal: Not only do you sit down to eat with all your companions, but you cook the food together in the same pot of simmering broth.

中式火锅真的特别适合一大群人吃，不仅可以和所有小伙伴们坐下来一起吃，还能围着同一个锅，就着滚滚的高汤一起煮吃的。

► Go to "all you can eat" hot pot places. They exist and are amazing.

去那种“吃到饱”（自助）火锅店！真的有这种地方哦，可棒可棒了！

► I'll usually start with a water base, and then add all the mushrooms, and vegetables, and tofu, and seafood balls, and meat. The broth afterwards is glorious. Yum. You can also finish off with some noodles. Damn, I can't wait for it to get cold again.

我通常先煮一个清水锅，然后加入各种蘑菇、蔬菜、豆腐、海鲜丸、还有肉。煮完以后的汤太美味了，好吃！最后还可以就着面条干掉它。讨厌，我已经等不及了，天快变冷吧！

► Frozen tofu is the best thing ever. If you take extra firm tofu and freeze it, the freezing expands all the pores. When it melts, it gives you a super porous soup sponge. ;)

冻豆腐是最好东西的没有之一。如果你把多余的老豆腐冻起来，冷冻以后，豆腐上所有的孔都张开了。煮化了以后，就像是一个吸满汤的超级海绵。

► To keep it simple, I like to make a quick dipping sauce by combining soy sauce with a drizzle of sesame oil and a touch of chili oil or chili flakes.

我喜欢做简单快捷的蘸酱，用酱油加入几滴芝麻油，再来一点点辣椒油或辣椒粉。

► After you've concocted your dipping sauce — add a little of this and a little of that — the fun begins.

把你的蘸酱调制好以后——加点这个加点那个——真正好玩的就开始了。

► We always use chopsticks, although a fork will work just fine. A ladle is useful for some of the more slippery items.

我们通常用筷子，不过叉子也挺好用哒。勺子也很管用，可以舀那些比较滑的食物。

► Eating is a free-for-all: Just pick what you like and dip it in the broth — no need to wait until someone else is finished before you dive in.

吃的时候场面那叫一个热闹，只要拣自己喜欢的，扔进汤里就行，而且不用等别人吃完他们的再扔自己的。
