I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English. So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there. But after having three days of hamburgers, sandwiches and potatoes, I thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food, especially my favorite —huoguo. You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students. On the way to the canteen, I seemed to smell huoguo in the air.
To my surprise, when I went into the room, I didn't see any sign of huoguo. Where was it?
With many questions in my head, I sat down to have the free meal. After talking with an English girl, I got to know that hotpot here is completely different from Chinese huoguo. Chinese huoguo is written in two words-hot pot; but hotpot, one word, is a traditional English dish.Hotpot is made from mutton and onion. On the
top are pieces of potatoes. People put it in the oven all day and it takes very little time to prepare. You can often see it at parties in the UK because it's easy to prepare for a large number of people and is not expensive.
Hotpot doesn't taste bad. However, I still miss huoguo-hot pot, two words!
