Horrible cookings!! funny TV Show

My mobile ring tone is this. Guess what!? This is the ending theme music of The Galloping Gourmet with Graham Kerr. (This music was originally Smothers bros Show's theme, I checked the details for the entire ring tone service at my job.) I loved to see that old TV show on Sunday mornings when I was a little kid. As a Japanese cooking show, the Iron chef seems to be world famous. Then I wrote once before about "Docchi no Ryori show". Every meals on the show looks wonderful and I must be hungry.  Food is a sort of culture, which we can be proud of, especially Japanese food is delicious and healthy too :-).  Bye the way, of course not all Japanese are good cooks, actually many young people do not know how to cook even a very basic meal, or in worse cases they cannot tell which material they should use for the meals.

We have two popular BAD cook TV shows, one of them is "Ai no epron"= Love apron (Wed 7PM). On TV Asahi . TV talents cook some popular meals without a recipe. Then guests eat for their life and evaluate the her cooking skill, a few talents can cook well, but many of them seemts to be sort of garbage makers. Look this page,  all five have cooked the same meal, and what is that black thing in the center?  Any way 2nd from  the left is Tamao Sato, she makes such a pose, so that she has to have this sort of bushing look.

Another TV program is "Yatte Try" =Please try (JP) part of "Uwasano Tokyo Magazine"(JP) (click try link).  On this show an armatur girls cook some popular meals by the order. Of course the show will always pick the most awful one, but I must tell you their cookings are beyond our imagination.

I think it is no use to be worried for the Japanese food future: I think it is the same all over the World. As long as there will be plenty of good restaurants and good products, people will tend to find these tastes again. Then, it is just a matter of curiosity and "bravery". As we sometimes say in France, "Whoever likes food will be a good chef". I'm convinced that is the way it is.
In more, the most important to be sure of having good meals when we are not skillful is to always have one good chef as friend, or wife/husband!
Fortunately, I don't need that!
Mata ne!

Ah, I like Iron Chef a lot. The TV channel "Food Network" shows it and they recently started an American version called Iron Chef America.

as the often overused, always out of context Nietsche saying goes, "what doesn't kill us makes us stronger..." perhaps it is a test of fortitude. I like the "please try" title..an invitation to the consumer, or does it implore the cook? nice play on words. If someone were to hand me a "Love Apron" I'm not sure if I would feel comfortable trying it on TV..I've heard there are fetish sites...oh no wait..I'm thinking of something else. Nevermind. Personally I almost never use a recipe, unless I am trying to make something for the first time..and even then I am likely to ad-lib a bit and modify it to my taste. The important part is taste & presentation, I think I've said this before..but anyway..sometimes the ugliest dishes taste the best, but it usually seems like an accident at that point. Have no fear Mari, it is youth trying out innovation..just a phase. Thank God for McDonalds!
