一鍋沸騰的奶酪，再加上切成小塊的面包和蔬菜，這便是瑞士火鍋。這道火鍋有一個法文名字：fondue，意思是奶酪熱蘸鍋。

食用奶酪火鍋時要注意餐桌禮儀，切記不要蘸食兩次。如果有人將面包掉入奶酪中，那么他/她必須親吻坐在自己左邊的人。或者如果你恰巧鐘情于身邊的人，那么也可以故意失手哦！

Americans love all kinds of fondue parties. With the number of different seasonings available today， there are fondues made out of beef， prawns and even scallions. But chocolate fondue is by far the most famous.

The most common and traditional chocolate fondue dipper is strawberries. Bananas， blackberries and pears also go well with hot chocolate. You could even try some unconventional dippers， like potato chips.

美國人喜愛各種火鍋派對。如今的火鍋種類可謂五花八門，有牛肉火鍋、對蝦火鍋甚至還有蔥火鍋。但是巧克力火鍋是迄今為止最著名的一種。

最大眾也最為傳統(tǒng)的巧克力火鍋涮品要數(shù)草莓了。而香蕉、黑莓以及梨也都是搭配熱巧克力的上上之選。你甚至可以嘗試一下一些不同尋常的涮品，比如薯片。

Chanko Nabe， Japan 日式相撲火鍋

This hearty， protein-rich Japanese-style hot pot dish is famous for being the principal source of energy for the country’s sumo wrestlers. But don’t worry， you would have to eat a serious amount of this special hot pot before you become as big as them！

A traditional chanko nabe usually contains a dashi or chicken broth soup base with sake or mirin to add flavor. Vegetables and meat are then cooked in the soup.

During sumo tournaments， this hot pot is served exclusively with chicken meat. This is because a sumo wrestler should always stand on two legs like a chicken. Of course， you are free to replace chicken meat with any other meat or seafood.

這道十分豐盛且高蛋白的日式火鍋是日本相撲選手的主要熱量來源，也因此而聞名于世。但別擔心，除非你食量驚人，否則你不會成為像相撲選手那樣的大塊頭！

傳統(tǒng)的相撲火鍋通常選用魚湯或雞湯作為湯底，并加入清酒或甜米酒提味兒。然后再將肉類與蔬菜放入其中烹制。

在相撲錦標賽期間，相撲火鍋專門選用雞肉為主料。這是因為相撲選手需要一直像雄雞一樣雙腿直立。當然，你也可以隨心所欲地用其他肉類或海鮮來代替雞肉。
