Had it with the Food Channel...

NFNS?


Do not believe anything you see on the airwaves.

When the blonde came out and explained her "Pollo ala Plancha" I laughed.

Chicken on a plank? Go home stupid.

A short lesson?

A plancha is an iron, to use to iron clothes. to planchar is 'to iron' in espanol! Pollo ala plancha is grilled/griddled chicked. Women would take steel blocks-shaped like the irons you see today-and heat them on stoves in order to iron clothes.

The iron had a stand that was placed on the griddle to heat it up. The iron was placed on the stand, heated and used.

The griddle under the iron stand was used to cook chicken, hence the pollo a la plancha reference!


So forget everything you heard!


I have to hate on Booby Flay. This guy is a moron, the ultimate in cooks who 'think they are bigger than the rest'-I have to laugh about something else.



He made a comment about the Asian woman, something like, "I was hoping her Asian flavor would come through". So every one with an ethnic backgound has to produce something that reflects their skin color, features, background?

Again, I think that they are just looking for the next "Ethnic Food Star".

That said?

There is a definite slant to who they want to keep on the show.

The whiner stayed on, while the guy with the wild hair, tattoos and big mouth got booted.
Who needs two GFs?






I have to laugh at the way people translate a food/idea.
