Yomigaeru-ga-ii, Iron Chefs!: sardines and ham

Oct 20, 2007
Post a comment

The Featured Ingredient on tonight's episode of Iron Chef (Ryōri no tetsujin - 料理の鉄人, "Ironmen of Cooking") on SBS Television is ...

Sardines
Ham

Ingredient # 1 was straightforward (and it was already dead, so it didn't try to run away).

Michiba Rokusaburo

Ingredient # 2 refers to the bad acting of Iron Chef Michiba Rokusaburo. Now I do not doubt that he was, at this stage of the series, ill. Indeed, he did have to drop out soon after. But the bad acting was so bad that it put me off the pendin gSardine Battle.

And he didn't look like he was in hospital, unless Japanese hospitals are particularly homely.

This man is one of the Ryōri no tetsujin - 料理の鉄人, "Ironmen of Cooking" !!!! He shouldn't be showing weakness like this (and in such an unconvincing manner). His opponents will rub his nose in their sashimi.

By the way, the propaganda-style poster of Michiba san comes from Dashiell Dunn's website www.maestrosync.com. His posters and his website are well worth reading.
