feels like nashville
maybe some of these are for the best, maybe not.

1: M&Ms. they *should* be a secret ingredient in everything.

2: human flesh. not only would the challenger be amazing to watch, but i'd love to hear alton brown's commentary about how long you should broil thigh.

3: glass. i suggest flambe'd for a duel effect.

4: tobacco leaves. just because i think it'd be funny.

5: cicadas. hey, bugs are high in protein. just ask alton. and i'll bet morimoto has a good beetle recipe he's been dying to use.

6: cat. again, don't go up against morimoto on this one.

7: cocaine. if you thought alton brown was high-strung before....

8: pigeon and rat. kill two vermin with one baking stone. any hobo worth his lice should pose a threat.

9: bubble gum. oh, come on, like *you've* never swallowed gum before....

10: mountain dew. i'd stand a chance with this one.

11: mountain oyster. mm mm yuck. something tells me alton brown knows a lot about this ingredient.

12: jellyfish. try the jellyfish ice cream with bits of frozen chicklets. yummy.

13: monkey paw. a delicacy in some places. no place i'd ever want to visit, but a delicacy just the same.

ROFL! After the veal ice cream I saw eeking out of the machine one day, I stopped watching. I'm waiting for it to become a contact sport.

I've only watched a few of these - saw more of the older 'original' Iron Chef - but I'd love to see them do shows using basic, everyday items...

Peanut butter
Mac and cheese
Fish sticks
Spam
White Bread
Chicken breasts
etc...

The secret ingredient (on the 31st Century version) was Soylent Green in an old episode of Futurama.

:roll: Whether it's in the food or not is still up for debate. One day I had a hanburger that was sprinkled in what looked like flour. I didn't sleep for 4 days.

New ingredient- used coffee grinds or vinegar.

Oh, I would so win the Bisquick challenge. And I could probably hold my own in Battle Spam. And cake mix? Hah! Watch me work!

You haven't fed twelve hungry kids on twenty minutes notice. Trust me. Mixes and canned meat suddenly become your best friends. Frozen fruit and cake mix? Cobbler! Box of mac N cheese and a can of tuna? Crush those club crackers and you've got instant tuna casserole!

Mmmm. Fried spam.

There is a game I play with the following quote. "What the Iron Troll is doing is putting heads in a pot, they have to boil for twenty minutes so the eyes can be used in a second dish, an eye and raspberry sorbet."
