this isn't a debate it's a simple question where you can either say yes or no or give a list of possible ingredients

your babbling ninny response just lost you so much face you're just a skeleton

its not the question thats the problem, its what i expect the next five pages of replies to be, and the people who have made me come to expect that

E: oh gently caress new page, now this is gonna be the topic

Any way the ingredients will probably differ depending on who you ask, and anyone who puts "authentic" as a food descriptor is doubling down on their own view it. Just as what an authentic or traditional breakfast or thanksgiving dinner must/may/should/mustn't include and people will argue for hours.

So if you wanna know what's in it, go give it a try, I probably can't answer you accurately from a world away. Go do a trip report, I'm sure Szechuan people in this thread will help you compare with their own experience

You can trust me
Chungking/Chongqing hot pot is probably just Sichuan-style hot pot, so lots of chili oil and peppers. $16 bucks seems alright. For a comparison if you went to a Little Fat Sheep in the US it'd be around $25 - 30 per person.

Then again it could mean they went full Chinar and used absolute crap ingredients and then charged just enough to lure cheap idiots.

edit: ^^^^ What simplefish said. Truth be told, every restaurant I've had hot pot in has had their own recipe and taste. The Sichuan-style realistically only means it's some sort of reddish-brown broth and a lot of chili oil. Beyond that, I've never really seen much consistency. It can be great or it can make you pray for a swift death. Try it out and if it sucks it could just be that the restaurant sucks as doing it.

the anglosphere is the pot roast's native habitat and much like the panda it can't reproduce outside certain conditions not found outside its native habitat

What goes wrong?

I've made one pot roast and it was tough. In hindsight, it just needed to cook lower and/or slower.

The connective tissues tighten up before they start breaking down. The meat will get tougher before it gets softer. I've discovered this making ropa vieja.

serious pot roast chat: I couldn't make a good pot roast until I found out I was overcooking mine. In the oven at 300F for 2 to 2.5 hours at most for a 2-3 pound piece of chuck. Any longer and it becomes extremely tender but the meat shreds into dry strands.

I never brown my meat enough and I over stew it so the meat becomes all grey and chewy. Good stock tho.

I'm going to annoy my butcher by buying all the chuck roast and get a sous vide

That's a reasonable price to try something new. Chongqing hot pot is heavier on hot chilies and lighter on Sichuan pepper, I believe.

Man do I miss a pot roast though. There are two problems in Japan. Firstly beef is expensive. Secondly my girlfriend doesn't like the herbs and poo poo involved in pot roast so if I make it she just sits there and pouts while picking at her food. The first problem is really the issue. The best thing about pot roast in the US was how you could get a shitload of meat, potatoes, and carrots for cheap and eat on that for days. It only lasts about 2 meals when I make it here.

It is after midnight, and May 20th has passed.

I got blocked by two women after I said I couldn't meet them today when they separately proposed dates or sleep-overs. I did not meet the dancer, but she didn't block me, and I know she expected me to flake anyway.

I ate a meal with one girl. We're sitting there and she suddenly says she forgot her wallet and if I could pay for our food. I said "This is CHINA!" and tapped her iPhone. She didn't get it, and I told her of course she doesn't have a wallet, she uses Wechat Pay for everything. She looked down and was silent for a while, and LOL'd and told her to not worry about it. I touched her hip as we were leaving and she freaked out and said "Not in public, what if someone sees us?" She told me we were just friends, even though she has slept at my house about 20 times since we first met.

In the late afternoon, Chaoshan girl showed up and asked to take a nap because she woke up too early to go hiking. She slept for a while and I had to wake her up. We ate cake and banged so hard I think I broke my dick. Seriously. It hurts a lot. She gave me chocolate and said out of all her Chaoshan friends, she was probably the only one to get some action on 520. I believe it, since their husbands are probably with their girlfriends or mistresses.

After some exercise at night, that crazy virgin-ish girl I wrote about before, whom I deleted a bit ago for being nuts, tried to add me again saying she wanted sex. No way. I didn't accept the add. Then another girl said she was on the train going by where I lived and if she could watch a movie with me and sleep at my house tonight. I also declined her on account of broken penis, but didn't tell her that.

This girl blocked me. She thought I was making fun of her and her roommate for being alone on 520, when really I was just trying to quote a good movie. Thanks, Mike Judge:



All y'all doubters missed out on your chance to SCORE BIG. SUCKERS. :shiajustdoitgif:

But really, I did get to eat those cream puffs I was talking about, and that was probably one of the highlights of the day. Food wins every time.
