Yomigaeru-ga-ii, Iron Chefs!: sole

Boot

Sole

Once again I am pleased to report that the Featured Ingredient was dead, so it did not try to run away.  Nor did we have to have a Reader Advisory at the start of the program warning viewers that scenes might be "distressing to some viewers".

I have also commented in previous posts on  Iron Chef (Ryōri no tetsujin - 料理の鉄人, "Ironmen of Cooking") that Chairman Kaga is no Bert Newton.  He might be a great actor but he is hopeless at improv.  A sample.

Chairman Kaga (to Challenger): So you have heard about my show i n San Francisco? (where the Challenger works)

Challenger [waxes lyrical at great length about how the show is famous amongst all chefs great and small].

Chairman Kaga [after a pause, looks deep in thought]:  Really?

Admittedly these are the sub-title renditions of the conversations.  But ... really?

Unfortunately, no sooner have I got back into the Iron Chef (Ryōri no tetsujin - 料理の鉄人, "Ironmen of Cooking") habit that SBS announce that it is going off for a few weeks.  Oh well.
