Can you share what it s like to eat hot pot in the middle of the night?

Coordinates in a certain country in Europe, me and my family are hot pot lovers. I eat it almost once a week when it's cold, and almost once a month when it's hot. Although there are many hot pot restaurants owned by Chinese people in the area, we don't think the taste is delicious enough, so we prefer to cook and eat it at home.

We usually start preparing at seven or eight o'clock in the evening, and start eating at about eight o'clock, watching movies while eating, and often eat until eleven or twelve o'clock at night. ‍

It's very cool, there is a break, take a nap at home at noon, get up at 7 o'clock, go to the supermarket to buy things is almost 9 o'clock, go home to pack up things to eat hot pot, a person eats to more than 12 o'clock, and finally too lazy to clean up, the next day to get up and talk about it.

Have you ever flown in the middle of the night to Chongqing to eat hot pot? One night in 14 years with friends in Xi'an to eat hot pot, eating and eating on the question of whether the hot pot is authentic, and then we decided to go to Chongqing to eat, quickly settled the bill and took a taxi to the airport, I don't remember what time the plane was, anyway, it was very close, at 11:30 in the middle of the night to Chongqing, got off the car and went straight to the hot pot restaurant, well, and then flew back to Xi'an the next day after eating.

In Chongqing, it is not surprising that hot pot is often eaten in the second half of the night.

During the summer vacation, I went to Chengdu and Chongqing with a men's ticket, and was impressed by the custom of the locals to eat hot pot all night. At 7 o'clock in the evening, we went to a very famous hot pot restaurant, and the store was full and began to line up, and we got more than 50 numbers. It was close to 10 o'clock when we finally got in line, and to be honest, I was a little sleepy, but I was infected by the bustling decoration and steaming atmosphere of the store, and I cheered up to eat butter hot pot.

It was nearly twelve o'clock, and the restaurant was still very busy, with bright red chili butter tumbling on every table, no one drinking too much and talking nonsense, people just drinking cold beer or sour plum soup, talking enthusiastically, and sipping the meat or vegetables in the pot.

For a while, I often went to Haidilao to eat hot pot at 11 or 2 o'clock on Saturday night, with a tablet and a mobile phone, watching football and watching dramas at the same time, and sometimes holding a notebook and pencil case, writing and drawing, and sorting out work ideas. Tell the waiter that you need to be quiet, and he will help you set up a sign "Do Not Disturb" on the car, so that other waiters will never come to disturb you when they see it, will not pull you to jump the little apple, will not harass you with kung fu noodles, and will not see that you are chasing One Piece and come over to chat with you, you can have a piece of your own independent world in the whole noisy and lively store.

I ate hot pot with my brother at 2 o'clock in the morning, and when I came home after eating, I coughed until more than 5 o'clock in the morning (the cold was not good). I stopped coughing, my brother began to have diarrhea, seven or eight times, plus the severe lack of sleep, the two of them had a sallow face. ‍‍

I always feel how normal it is to eat hot pot in the middle of the night in Lanzhou, so many hot pot restaurants open 24 hours a day. Until I arrived in Xi'an, my friend looked at me with a ghost look, what time was it? Eating hot pot?

I ate hot pot in the middle of the night, and after watching Eason Chan's concert with my girlfriends, I was hungry and scratched my liver, so I went to Haidilao, which is open 24 hours a day. After ordering, the waiter repeatedly persuaded us to remove a few and said that there were too many points, and we insisted on pressing this, and in the end the two of them were extremely satisfied. If you eat hot pot alone in the middle of the night, you just have to have a waiter in the store to talk to you, if you cook hot pot alone at home, I can eat and cry believe it or not.

Because there is no time during the day, there is time and atmosphere at night.

At night, the gastrointestinal peristalsis is slow, digestion is not good, and it is often easy to overeat hot pot, which makes it difficult for people to digest and cause obesity. Moreover, there is a lot of food in the hot pot and it is also high in calories, but it is difficult to consume calories at night, and it is easy to make people fat.

The most fattening foods when eating hot pot.

1. High-calorie and high-fat meat.

The high-calorie and high-fat meats often eaten in hot pot, such as meatballs and fat beef, are delicious, but they are high in calories and fat content, which can easily cause obesity.

2. Nutritious soup.

Many people think that hot pot soup brings together the best of various foods, is delicious and nutritious, but the opposite is true. Most of the beneficial ingredients such as vitamins have been destroyed in the hot pot soup after repeated boiling, while there are many harmful ingredients such as saturated fat, sodium salt, and purines, which are the cause of various chronic diseases such as obesity and diabetes.

3. Dip the sauce. The dipping sauce of hot pot is high in calories, especially sesame sauce, which can easily lead to obesity.

The trick to eating hot pot at night without getting fat:

1. Try to eat less hot pot at night, not more than once a week. And it is not advisable to fight a "protracted war" when eating, and it is best to control it within 2 hours.

2. Don't forget staple foods and vegetables while eating meat, which will not cause an imbalance in the nutritional structure and can also prevent obesity.

3. Don't have too much oil in the soup base, want clear soup, and avoid spicy hot pot at night.

4. When choosing green vegetables, you should pay attention to not choosing those that are particularly easy to get oily, and avoid consuming too much oil.

Yes, it's summer, so it's best to turn on the air conditioner to eat hot pot.

No, you cannot.

There are five taboos that you should pay attention to when eating hot pot:

1. Do not use the hot pot immediately after it has been stopped for a period of time. Because after the copper hot pot is out of use for a period of time, the inner surface of the pot will chemically react with water and oxygen to form a layer of green patina, which is basic copper acetate or copper sulfate. Both of these chemicals are toxic, and if they are not wiped off thoroughly before use, patina will dissolve in food, and usually ingestion of a certain amount of patina will cause poisoning, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms.

Therefore, before using the hot pot, be sure to soak it in a cloth dipped in vinegar, add a little salt to wipe it, and thoroughly brush the patina before using it.

2. Avoid raw food. Some people eat hot pot for freshness and tenderness, and eat it without waiting for the meat and vegetables to be cooked, which is very unhygienic. Raw meat, fish or seafood should be cooked before vegetables are cooked before eating, so that the bacteria or parasite eggs in the food can be fully killed.

However, it is not advisable to cook vegetables for too long, so as not to destroy the nutrients in the vegetables.

3. Avoid hot food. Freshly scalding food that has just been taken out of the hot pot should not be put into the mouth immediately, but should be put in a bowl to cool down before eating, so as not to burn the esophageal mucosa, cause ulcers or blistering of the oral membrane. If you often eat hot food, it will also destroy the taste of the tongue, reduce the taste function, affect the appetite, and the hot food will also cause tooth and upper gastrointestinal tract lesions.

Fourth, avoid being too spicy. Some people put too much spices such as chili, garlic, and green onions when eating hot pot, which causes certain damage to the gastric mucosa. In particular, people with tuberculosis, hemorrhoids, gastritis and duodenal ulcer disease should eat less.

5. Avoid leaving leftover vegetables and soup in a hot pot overnight. Overnight leftovers and soups will also contain too much copper oxide, which can easily cause poisoning after eating, dizziness and nausea in mild cases, and heart, liver and kidney damage in severe cases.

It shouldn't be good, food will always go bad if it is left out for a long time.

Definitely not good! The key is how you save! Be sure to bring the soup to a boil and don't stir it.
