Suggestions for Iron Chef Ingredient

Why not just make things and post them with pride, LT. You make some beautiful dishes that you should be very proud of. The nice thing about the IC Challenges is looking back on them. It's great for when you have some hamburger meat and you're tired of the same 'ol thing...you pull up the IC challenge for hamburger...it really won't matter to the person looking for a dinner idea if it was made a week or two before the challenge.
 
All that I have ever asked is to be measured by what I do myself as opposed to what I do compared to others.

Lucky, and all of the other posters in the IC's you have made wonderful food and it inspirational to others that see it. If I could have a wish in this discussion, I would like to see all of you keep making the great food that you have been. While I believe that it should be made the week of the contest, I can see on some occasions where time or resources would prevent that. I would prefer if that was not general practice.

My only IC entry was gralic Creme Brulee. I made it as a result of a lot of posts saying that nothing unique could be made from garlic. It did not make me mad, it chalanged me. That is what it is all about, at least I think so, Id did it to my standard and I am proud of what I did.

Isn't that enough?
 
A bit off the current subject but I was wondering.....Is there any way we can maybe post the NEXT IC ingredient earlier? Maybe mid week for those who get their groceries for the following week during the weekend.....?

Just a thought, Thanks :)
 
Yes, since no one disagrees, next week's IC will be Battle Christmas 09. It works just like the Thanksgiving Battle, so get ready to post your favorite dishes that you are making!

I'll also start posting the new ingredient earlier. I'll make a spot on the list to show "Next Week's Ingredient" so that you have a week to think about it.

And before anyone says that this isn't how Iron Chef works on TV....you're supposed to be surprised - well Iron Chef on TV only gets 1 hours......we get a whole week to cook. So having "Next Week's" ingredeint displayed won't break anything, and it may help to get others invovled sionce it gives them time to fit IC into their weekly shopping.

When I update everything for Battle Christmas, I'll add the Next Week's ingredient section to the list.
 
Thanks Keltin :)

I would also argue that all of their ingredients are already there and supplied for them...no grocery shopping or budget is needed for them! ;)
 
As promised, I will be posting the upcoming week's ingredient ahead of time to give everyone that wishes to participate plenty of time to do their shopping and get their ingredients ready.

Thank you Keltin! I had set what I was going to make for Battle nuts but unfortunately I wasn't physically up for t this week :( and this week went helluva fast!!!
Battle Lamb sounds great to me!!! I see some ground lamb in my future!! :D
 
Looks like I have to go out and get some lamb chops in the future.
It's been a long, long time since I've had lamb and have been wanting to try it again for the last year or so.
So........ I'm game. :-)

I'll be sitting out of the eggs battle for sure. Maybe I'll be blasphemous and make up some vegan cheese steak for next week.
