hotpots
Simmering shared meals
Hotpots is the plural of hotpot, a dish of meat and vegetables cooked slowly in a covered pot, traditionally associated with Lancashire in northern England.
The word also refers to communal Asian cooking where diners dip raw ingredients into a shared pot of simmering broth at the table: We ordered hotpots at the Sichuan restaurant.
The spelling varies—sometimes two words, sometimes hyphenated.
