When it’s cold weather and you go to eat a buffet hot pot, which ingredients will make you turn away?

The best thing to do when the weather is cold is to eat hot pot. In the cold weather, it feels so good to set up a hot pot, make it steaming hot, and add your favorite ingredients. There are a lot of self-service hot pot restaurants, but there are some ingredients that can really affect your mood and make you want to turn around and leave. They include stale seafood, quick-frozen meatballs, dark-colored duck blood, and synthetic fat beef rolls.

1. Stale seafood

The cost of seafood is relatively high among hot pot ingredients. In order to save the cost of seafood as much as possible, the boss will buy some that are not of good quality. Cheaper seafood ingredients, such as dead crabs, fish and shrimps, etc., or seafood ingredients that cannot be sold out that day are frozen in the freezer and continue to be sold on the first day. Although this will indeed save costs and allow the store to gain more profits, it will hurt the interests and trust of customers and affect the reputation of the store.

2. Quick-frozen meatballs

Many of the meatballs sold in self-service hot pot restaurants are quick-frozen meatballs. This time the meatballs last longer. In order to reduce costs, the boss sometimes purchases some meatballs of poor quality and keeps them in storage before they are released. As a result, the meatballs are very stale, which affects the taste and is not good for your health, and may cause diarrhea.

3. Dark-colored duck blood

Duck blood itself is not an easy-to-obtain ingredient, so authentic duck blood is difficult to buy and the price is relatively expensive. In order to provide a sufficient amount of duck blood and reduce costs, some hot pot restaurants will purchase some fake duck blood. "Fake duck blood" is synthesized from the blood of other animals, and the quality is not guaranteed. Moreover, this "fake duck blood" looks like It is darker than normal duck blood, so if you enter a hot pot restaurant and see dark duck blood, it is very likely to be fake duck blood.

4. Synthetic fat beef roll

Generally, this kind of synthetic meat is made of cheaper and inferior meat. Many hot pot restaurants use synthetic fertilizer in order to reduce costs. The beef rolls are sold as authentic fat beef rolls. This kind of synthetic fat beef roll is not as good as the authentic fat beef roll in terms of taste and nutrition. The price sold in hot pot restaurants is not cheap, which makes customers feel cheated and can't help but see this kind of synthetic meat. Turn around and leave!
