    One of the greatest compliments I have ever received was when a friend came over to my house for the first time for a hot pot party, opened my fridge, paused a moment and then said, “I love your fridge.”

    Normal fridge but huge variety of fresh foods.

        I learned of them as “nabe parties” (short for “nabemono”, which is Japanese hot pot) but many different East and Southeast Asian countries have their own types of hot pot.

        It’s a communal style of eating where you share a broth and cook your various ingredients together as you go, usually with some sort of dipping sauce. Generally super healthy and nutritious, but it depends on what ingredients you like.
