Hot pot is now a kind of food that young people like to eat, no matter what season, you can party to eat hot pot, so hot pot can be said to be the king of social occasions, when you are happy and proud, you can meet friends for a small gathering, and when you are frustrated and lost, you can also meet three or five friends to eat hot pot. Of course, it is precisely because of this that hot pot has a huge market, many mid-range brand hot pot shops, not holidays will be lined up for a long time, but there is a strange phenomenon that everyone has not found, that is, Chongqing area rare Sichuan hot pot brand, do you know why?
Now there are many categories of hot pot, and the spicy hot pot in the Sichuan-Chongqing region is particularly famous, many people come to Chengdu, Chongqing, there must be one item in the list of must-play cards is to eat a spicy hot pot with local characteristics, but Chongqing hot pot is famous all over the world, sichuan hot pot is rarely exposed in Chongqing. In fact, this has a lot to do with the origin of hot pot, originally hot pot originated in Chongqing, just to improve the food of poor people, and then did not expect to develop after generations, but became a household name famous cuisine.
According to statistics before, there are more than 30,000 hot pot stores in Chongqing, and almost every 100 meters you can see a hot pot shop, so there is no need to worry about the taste. Although the Sichuan hot pot is the same as the Chongqing hot pot category, but the Chongqing hot pot market has long formed a red sea, it is still a little difficult to enter the hearts of Chongqing people, so more Chongqing people still like the taste of Chongqing hot pot, butter taste is thick, raw materials are sufficient, spicy and fragrant, with all kinds of ingredients, very delicious.
Coupled with the reasons for the bottom of the pot and the dipping sauce, for the "foodie", the taste of Chongqing hot pot and Sichuan hot pot is also very different, the general butter pot bottom dipping sauce is sesame oil, dipping sauce, coriander or green onion, and seasoning salt. Although the Sichuan hot pot is also based on spicy taste, but the bottom of the pot is less used butter, usually it is clear oil, so the taste is not so thick. For Chongqing people who are accustomed to heavy oil and spicy, it is definitely more suitable to eat Chongqing hot pot, so Chongqing rarely sees Sichuan hot pot brand, which makes sense.
