If you could pick the ingredient for Iron Chef...

  • ...what would you choose?

    I was flipping, and caught a few re-runs of Iron Chef. I always enjoyed the show, and was wondering what I'd pick as an ingredient for those chefs to play around with...

    I think I'd pick Butternut Squash. Not terribly uncommon, but I'm just wondering what fun food combinations they'd come up with for it.
  • I think I'd pick tomatoes. I would be interested to see the different things that can be made that aren't the every day speghetti sauce and pizza and stuff like that. I also LOVE fresh locally grown tomatoes. I could eat them all day! I would also like to see them require a dessert out of it, lol. Hey, it's technically a fruit, right?

    I love Iron Chef. It's one of my favorite shows along with Alton Brown's Good Eats and Food Network Challenge, lol.
  • Salmon. I gag down a piece of salmon each week just for the nutritional value, but it kills me. I would love to figure out how to make it taste delicious!
  • I'd pick liver. My mom used to make barbeque chicken livers with lots of onions. I'd like to see what else could be made with it and have it taste good.
  • Brocolli! Let's see what they could make with it.
  • Broccoli - great idea!
