Okay, this was unbelieveable…
Okay, so, it’s Sunday nite, and Sweety and I are watching "The Next Food Network Star", and they’re running promos for the show immediately following: "Iron Chef America". This evening’s episode is a lady southwestern chef against Bobby Flay, who is also known for grilling and southwest flavors.
So, the other thing is, they always have a secret ingredient that the chefs have to include in every dish they make.
Now, for the last half hour, thru all the promos, I’ve been wondering, what secret ingredient could they pick that would be most incongruous with southwest flavors?
I’m puzzled.
The show starts, and just before they reveal the secret ingredient, I freeze the Tivo and ask Sweety – what do you think? What’s most incongruous?
We think:
Sweety: lobster? nah, you could make a good lobster quesadilla.
Me: brussel sprouts? ew.
Sweety: Salmon? hm, maybe.
Sweety: Bananas? Well, they’re caribbean…
So, I hit the play button, and the secret ingredient is
BANANAS!!!!
Sweety got it ! She could be a producer for this show and torture those chefs mercilessly.. HA HA HA HA HA!! {evil laughter in case you didn’t recognize it).
Praise Allah for the pause button. And for Sweety.

I think the blueberry/lobster combo on Next FN Star was pretty evil. I didn’t see the Iron Chef afterward, though, but I did see the ads. I would have never guessed bananas.

You’d be surprised how well bananas go in everything- I have had them (and really enjoyed it) on pizza AND sushi. It was weirdly delicious.
