I need help
I just started dating this chinese girl and i really like her and want to impress her. I invited her over to watch game of thrones and i'm trying to get snacks that will be familiar to her.
I decided on sichuan hotpot.
So far i have bought a portable gas element from a kitchen supply shop and it works with my propane tank from my grill, so i'm gonna set that up on the coffee table infront of the tv. And i've already got a pretty big pot.
I'm rendering some tallow at the moment for the soup base, and i've got a load of chillis and various chilli pastes im gonna all put in there and some 'shaoxiang' wine.
I've bought a few of the things to lay out on the table, like a few plates of offal, which i'm not really used to so i'm a bit worried about, and mushrooms.
But i'm really starting to second guess this. I made a 'ching chong' joke about eating dogs on our first date and she said i was being racist but she forgave me and i was making this gesture to make it up but i'm worried she'll take it the wrong way but i feel like i've already put in so much money and effort that I kind of have to commit at this point.

What should I do? And any advice for the hotpot, or good things to drink with it? I have some 'chinese rice wine' but it says 'not for beverage use' on it so i'm unsure if she'll like it or if that's normal.
