That looks really good!

But, I'm a bit confused. I thought hotpot was a Chinese food, where you dip meats and stuff into a hot "pot" of broth to lightly cook it. :scratchhead:

In the UK it generally refers to a kind of casserole often where the meat and veg is placed in distinct layers in the casserole. It is then usually topped with a layer of sliced potato and/or other root veg.
In this one, from memory, pork, parsnip, shallots brown ale, juniper berries, stock, redcurrant jelly, horseradish, potato, salt and pepper.
 
A snack plate from earlier today. Salmon wrap with cream cheese, peppadews, rice cake with spicy chicken salad. Some paprika chips.

Looks good. We're also having a snack plate of cheese, crackers, cucumber, and pears (with beer).

How are you two feeling today?

This hotpot is a Brit thing - thick meat stew underneath and sliced potatoes on top. The most famous is Lancashire hotpot:

It is, at least in Asian cultures (not just Chinese), and most people in the US that live in larger cities and frequent Asian restaurants would associate it with that.
