26 AUSUST 1791 - FITCH WINS A PATENT FOR HIS STEAMBOAT: Entrepreneur-
inventor John Fitch receives a US patent for his steam-powered boat, 
after years of experiments result in a craft that can travel at a top 
speed of 8 miles per hour. It'll take two more decades and engineer 
Robert Fulton's involvement before steamboats become a profitable 
enterprise.

  For this recipe yougCOll need a portable gas stove for
  cooking at the table and a special steamboat hotpot or 
  a large saucepan.

  In a large saucepan, combine the chicken stock, salt,
  sugar and fish sauce. Mix well and bring to the boil.
  Place the gas stove and steamboat hotpot or large
  saucepan in the middle of the dinner table.

  Transfer 2 litres of the chicken stock mixture to the
  steamboat. On separate platters, arrange the vegetables,
  herbs, seafood and vermicelli. In small dipping bowls,
  add some sliced chilies and soy sauce for dipping.

  When the stock starts to simmer, each person dips some
  greens and seafood into the stock until cooked. They
  then retrieve their cooked ingredients with their
  chopsticks and ladle some stock into their bowls.

  As the greens and seafood cooks, the more flavoursome
  the stock becomes. When the stock starts to boil down,
  replenish the pot with more stock.

  Dip into soy and chilies.
