Had it with the Food Channel...

[Daisy and Delilah]

OMG!!! Scary!! Is the stuff really made in China? Do the people of China make anything that's good?

I forgot that I watched the Paula Deen segment on The View on youtube or something. Baba let her have it but Paula kept on talking.

I figure the empire has to crumble sometime. Paula has gone on longer than I expected she would. That woman has her hands in everything.

What is with Alex Groanacelli? She does have those weird faces all the time. She looks totally depressed and talks about something wonderful. Then she talks about something awful with the same look, basically. I don't get her at all.

All FN needs is another show with her as the star.

Another show with GF? Does he have enough time?

The Next Iron Chef was long and strange. Did you watch the part with the exotic ingredients? Do people actually eat chicken feet, cockscombs, jellyfish, stinky tofu? I was a surprised at how well those chefs adapted to the items they were given.

I predict that Amanda Freitag will win. I think they need another female iron chef and she is a favorite of the network. Alot of the contestants have appeared on Iron Chef before too.

There are three guys in the group that look alike to me. Maybe it was two of the guy and one of the girls??

Alton Brown is like a walking encyclopedia. I have seen him make a few mistakes lately. He does correct himself sometimes. I think he might lose some of his over confidence if the mistakes keep happening.
Has he lost weight or is it me imagining it? I know he's losing his hair pretty badly. Poor guy.

Gina Neely is getting on my nerves again. Pat is the greatest guy on earth but what is wrong with her? She is really putting it into overdrive.

I have a new thing that's ready to have me put my foot through the tv. Sunny Anderson(is that her name??)saying "good to go" in every sentence she uses.

What time is The Next Iron Chef on? I thought I recorded the new season, but I must have chosen the wrong one, as it has Michael Symon as a contestant, and he's already an Iron Chef on the show - or is he on this season again?

TNIC is on Sunday nights. 9 p.m.

They re-run the previous season as a teaser, before the premiere of the new season.

D&D, I have had feet and comb,

Karen,
You can win tons of stuff from friends and family by betting people you'll eat duck or chicken foot.

The only problem is where to put to bones!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I live a real sheltered life. I am amazed, all the time, at what I don't know.

Karen. Michael Symon is not on this year. That is an old show.

Richard, are those things also the part of Mexican culture? Have you seen the show yet? I'll look forward to hearing how many of those exotic ingredients you have tried as a part of Mexican culture. I see you've had two of them. How were they prepared? Mexican style? I can't remember if those items were mentioned on the show about Mexican cuisine with Jeff Corwin.

While the segment was running, I was wondering what Richard knows about these strange food items.

I had no idea, Karen, that some Chinese restaurants offer the items. I'm not even sure if there's an authentic Chinese restaurant around these parts.

[RICHARD]

lol,

Soup, stew, fried or BBQed.


When you are a kid you eat and do not realize what you are eating....

I've had pretty much all the animal, The last time I ate brains, I almost died. Not, really died, but kinda.


One of the worst meals/dishes was a green chile with pork that I bought from a Mex market.


The green sauce was outta this world but the meat was tongue. Green chile dishes always have pork in them. As it cooks, the meat shreds and melts in your mouth.

The food joint put tongue in the chile and you could tell what kind of meat it was because it held it's shape and was 'tongue-y' in texture.

It was very strange to have to chew the meat.

-------------

A good chicken foot soup is really good, but a little work to get the meat off the 'hoof'.

[Daisy and Delilah]

I wonder why we have a repulsion for certain parts of the animal? If we can eat the flesh, why not the rest of it?

Well, maybe it's not everybody that has this problem. Even when I see this on tv, most people are making faces and turning up their noses.

Richard, did I ever ask you about certain Spanish cultures eating meat that isn't fresh? This really intrigues me.

I may have mentioned my daughter visiting a Mexican family years ago. She had made friends with one of the girls in the family. She would tell me about the rotted, smelly, meat in the kitchen. The meat was there and going to be prepared for dinner. What do you know about this? Do the jalapenos and chiles kill the bacteria?

No, never had the rotting meat in the kitchen.

That's way beyond anything I have ever encountered on my plate.

Could it be someone was pulling a leg?

ODo people actually eat chicken feet, cockscombs, jellyfish, stinky tofu? I was a surprised at how well those chefs adapted to the items they were given.

You must never have been to Dim Sum at an authentic Chinese restaurant, they send around carts, and one always has chicken feet sticking up, and another has duck feet! We always declined those carts. And I have eaten jellyfish - at a banquet in Beijing, China! (It was kind of like bouncy rubber bands, not a lot of taste.)
