A hot pot lunch in Xi'an. Note that everybody has an individual hot pot. The
more traditional hot pot dinner has a single hot pot in the middle from which
everybody around the table eats. The hot pots are basically individual burners
where water is boiling. You pick stuff from the middle, pluck it into the boiling
water, then pick it out, marinate it in a sauce (also individually picked from
a separate table), then eat it. After a while the boiling hot water becomes a
soup filled with the tastes of the different things you threw into it. One thing
is sure: if the food is not good, you can't blame the chef, since you're your
own cook.
