食物是家的味道，是故乡的颜色， 把故土乡情融入食物中，把家的味道带给世界。 I was born and grew up in Sichuan. Hot pot is an important part of my life. However, when I went to the UK, I found that it was expensive to have hot pot in town (more than 100 yuan per person, without drinks), while the locals know nothing about hot pot. They don’t even know that lotus root(莲藕) is a vegetable. So I came up with an idea. It was to invite some international friends to a hot pot dinner. The dinner helped me to spread our culture such as the obsession(喜爱) of Sichuan people with spicy(辛辣的) food and Chinese table manners. It also gave me an opportunity to make friends. I first showed my talent for cooking for my best friend, a German girl. I took my rice cooker, the container(容器) that I used to make hot pot. My friend took out her gift—a couple of Chinese bowls—and she told me that this would be the first time she had used them. She had different kinds of vinegar but not the Chinese kind. Since we didn’t have any, we replaced(代替) it with another kind. The taste was even better. Her mom tried a piece of lotus root. I can still remember her face when she put it into her mouth—she was doubtful about it. But it was a wonderful hot pot night. When you go to a foreign country, a good way to make more friends is to introduce your own culture through something special, like food. This will attract more friends and you will get pleasure from it.
