```hot_pot``` or ```hotpot```?

I use cuisine=chinese;hotpot for those restaurant that serves “火锅” in restaurant.json

But today I found hot_pot also been widely used, and another “hot-prefix” western food “hot dog” usually use hot_dog

So I want to ask for community suggestion that which I should use in NSI

This question I will ask both in Github and Chinese local community.

I’m not sure what kind of hotpot or hot pot those existing restaurants in OSM are, but I think hot pot is much better.

After googling for a while, I found that there was a English dish call “Lancashire hotpot”, not sure if this dish is widespread or not. But I still think using hot_pot is a easy way to avoid the confusion.

According to above comment and the talk in Chinese local community (they all think use hot_pot is better), we prefer to use hot_pot, the same spelling as English Wikipedia to create a cuisine=hot_pot. This will be used for automatical match for cuisine.

By the way, in taginfo first 5 pages of values for cuisine the total number (single cuisine) for hotpot is 499, for hot_pot is 35. the total number (multipal cuisine) for hotpot is 540, for hot_pot is 61.

Thanks for everyone’s advice!
