World's largest hotpot feast

The recent arrival of temperatures in the 50s on the East Coast makes me wish I was in China Friday night partaking in a gargantuan hotpot feast that has been named the world's largest ever.

The gigantic hotpot was served up in southwest China's Chingqing, birthplace of the hot and spicy stockpot of mutton, beef and vegetables. The cauldron, which measured almost 30 feet across, held a ying-yang of broth, one side a fierce orange-red color due to the spices. The other side, contained what I assume to have been cool white broth, that was sweeter and more aromatic.

Sixty-four restaurants helped serve up the humongous hotpot that served some 100,000 diners and set a new Guinness World Record. The meal, which included five meats and five vegetables, started at 7 p.m. and continued until after midnight. What I want to know is whether they slurped up the broth afterwards! [via Spluch]
