To celebrate, we went out for hot pot with friends.
Hot pot is a traditional Taiwanese meal, and it's my new favorite after a cold and rainy bike ride home from work.
Everyone sits around a pot of boiling broth (adding pig blood is optional).
Next, the servers bring you platters of raw vegetables and assorted meats. Then everyone uses their chopsticks to cook whatever they want in the pot.
Finally, you fish out your cooked veggies and meat and eat them over rice or noodles. Everyone creates their own "sauce" to put on top (soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, onions, radish, sesame oil, etc.)
This time we tried cow stomach in our hot pot. Delicious!
Maybe by our twelve-month anniversary we will be able to handle the pig blood...
hmmm, you are both very brave. My Italian relatives would eat pig's stomach as a delicacy on New Year's Eve - I never did muster up the courage to try it, it just sounds disgusting. :/
