so this is basically a soup where the broth is in the middle of a small party of people and the ingredients are individually cooked by one of these people when eating that particular item is desired?
how fucking retarded is that?
why not toss all the ingredients into a pot with the broth and serve it like a normal soup?
You get to pick what you want to eat. Cook it to the desired doneness. Chill and socialize while eating. Not have to deal with ingrediants left in a boiling soup from the start of the meal that starts to boil into a pile of dog food mush or overcooked leather. Hmmm... I wonder why....

this would imply that conventional soups are shit, why they are not
soups in asian cuisine are generally very tasty and this hot pot whatever just appears to be a silly dismantled soup that everybody shares
you can chill and socialize while eating pretty much anything but i guess the gist is that you are literally eating one thing with everyone and therefore having a more personable eating experience.. kinda gross
but it's not eaten as a soup.. and if the broth is consumed it's made into rice porridge or fried rice

p. much this cus
I hated soup until I went to thailand to shag this really cut tranny with a femenine dick.
If I had friends who were competent at cooking I would enjoy hot pot or korean bbq (grill in the center of the table). I get to cook, and not clean the dishes up.
However, all my friends are idiots and will just overcrowd the soup/grill and things will never cook properly. Since it's autistic to go alone I just sit and complain on internet boards about it. :)
