Anyone watch this show, Saturday nights on SBS.?
For those of you who are not familar with it, they have these expert chefs and another chef challenges one of them to a cook off, and they only find out what the theme ingredient is when the start to cook.
They get one hour to prepare as many dishs as they like using the theme ingredient.
On Saturday it was Bonito, and both chefs had a couple of raw bonito dishes in there. And the judges were raving about how good it was.
Now is it just me or is Bonito on about a par with Mactuna when it comes to chewing,? ie other fish like it, but that is about all, maybe the cat would give it a nudge.
Did I mention it is a Japanese show, dubed (badly) into english.
this is the second year it has been running!
best part of the weekend is watching that show!
but in alot of part of the world the good old bonito is accaualy more highly prized than a yellow fin
'If my memory serves my right i belive it is in the solomans that they call the bonito the chicken of the sea'
Just did a google search and I was very surprised to find out they are regarded as good eating. But, there are a few different types, not sure if they are all of the same quality.
The Iron Chef deserved to go down - three lousy dishes - its only cause he chucks some caviar in every week - wadda farce - & he eats the whole time ! The contendor had great technique, used many parts of the fish & was graceful in defeat - a worthy champion - befitting the title. He appears to have been punished for his traditional approach to what is a traditional food - disgraceful.
Can't wait for big Ian Hewittson to take him on - come on Huey, get in there lad.
I have been a follower of Iron Chef for the past 2 years - I just love the show and the voice overs just make it right down to the dubed laughs!
I have tried Bonito in the fish smoker and was surprised at how it cooked up and the taste - it was O.K if you can get past the fact that we use it for bait.
I have watched the show and I love it as well.
The Japs sure do eat some weird shxt.
Never know what you will be eating when you pick it up. If it tastes good swallow it. JUST DON"T ASK WHAT IT IS.
I remember seeing this green stuff once and thinking oohh guacamoli and had a big mouthfull. WRONG
WASABI.
