Coconut sugar is nice, although I don't know how popular it is outside of SEA. Matoa on the other hand....

If anyone has any particularly hard ingredients, is there a specific problem with it that makes it hard to cook with, or incorporate into other dishes?

Battle Alligator

the hatch is lifted to reveal two live alligators that have been starved

each Iron Chef must kill and butcher their own alligator, taking it all the way from alive and thrashing to cooked and on the judge's plate in under an hour

Bobby Flay losing an arm, a couple dead sous chefs, Morimoto beheading an alligator with his bare hands. Holy shit yes I would watch this

Clementines. Why?... because I like them.

Water.

>>5257821
I stopped being able to watch Iron Chef after I learned they email the contestants a list of 3 or 4 "secret" ingredients and ask them what they would need in the kitchen. So not only do they know what they're getting but they have time to plan out the menu and practice at home.

>>5260788
Did they do that in the original Japanese version as well?

>>5260790
Nope.

Microwave TV dinners. Miscellaneous, unmarked ones, so they won't know what's in them until they're back at their stations.

Specifically for an all out Iron Chef vs Iron Chef battle.

Special kitchen to allow every Iron Chef to go free-for-all, and they work alone, and only need to create two dishes.

Curveball will be celery soda.

As for why? Because [strikeout]Morimoto isn't getting enough screen time, fuck Zakarian and the bitch who was his sous-chef[/strikeout] while they've had IC-vs-IC battles in the past, it's always been awesome ingredients. I think it'd be interesting to have all of them battle at once.

Sort of like the original show that had the ...I'm drawing a blank of what they called it, ugh...thing where they did chef-vs-chef until there was one champion.

Stupid brain fart.

>Morimoto beheading an alligator with his bare hands.
You don't know how badly I want to see this. I would give away every cent I have to see this in person. I could die happy.

Haggis.

Would be interesting to see what the do with it.

Flay is a faggot.

Ayyyy ONNNNNE!

Yes they did. Both shows do it the same way: The chefs are given a list of three or four potential ingredients for planning, but they dont know WHICH they'll get until the in-studio reveal. It's just to keep either or both from massively melting down on air and turning an hour-long show into 15 minutes of pain.

I select the ingredient of a better show where there's only one Iron Chef and it's not filled with shitty Food Network personalities (minus Morimoto he can stay).

tea
blood/marrow
thousand year old eggs (hard and soft runny yolks)
whale
narwhal
bear
dog
insects
swallow's nest
whole shark including fins
abalone aka pussy
sea slugs (sea cucumber)
centipedes
cartilage
virgin boy piss (iron chef Chinese only)

Iron Chef America is the worst.

>>5262834
But so great at the same time.

>>5257821

All that fucking bronzer.

>>5262180

Morimoto, Cora and Simon are the best Iron Chefs. I don't like Flay, Batali or any of the new ones.

Funniest shit was when Jamie Oliver was on vs Batali and Gennaro was convulsing over Batali's mangling of his language.

Cat Cora loses all the time though

don't talk shit about my croc wearing husbando

Balls. Cow. Yum.

>>5257948
Fuck that's funny

Seriously though, why are 99% of the Iron Chefs Food Network personalities? That "next Iron Chef" thing was nothing but Food Network/Cooking Channel people. What the fuck? Fuck Iron Chef.

>>5264201

Because "Iron Chef" is a TV program?

Water, lots of water.

>>5264201
It "appeals" to the broader American audience, or at least what the producers think appeals to them. The first and second seasons were great in my opinion, but after that you could tell the show started to take on very...TV show characteristics. Starting course in 20 minutes to create drama and tension, increased dialogue from the chefs and cooks, increased display of heavily edited iron chef fuck-ups, to make viewers unsure of who was going to win, chefs talking out and discussing their meals before hand, and increased chairman shenanigans and character-exaggeration. Most people are too fucking dumb to sit through a half hour of executive chefs cooking in a slightly-less-than-reasonable amount of time, and need stimulation.

>>5260788
The authenticity of the competition is less important to me than seeing what people at the top of their craft can do. The show has always been about the chefs for me, I don't really care about the opinions of the judges regarding who "won".

Maruchan Ramen

This

>>5267835
Oh god, or hell, maybe just jarred babyfood in general.

Ugh, that seems gag-worthy, although isn't SOME of the food legitimately strained and mushed vegetables, without many fillers? I suppose an executive chef could jazz that up or mix it into other things for soups and sauces and such.

I was going to say Octopus until I saw it was an ingredient. The Japanese version had a great Octopus episode, kinda wanna watch the American one.

Anyway, pic related or Taro

Satsumas because they are -the- shit
