[Sca-cooks] OT: Another Japanese cooking contest show

[Judith Kingsbury]

Greetings Selene,
 
Eoin and I have been watching "Dotchi No Ryori" for the past few months and love it, because we have learned more about Japanese home and diner cooking from watching it.  We've even been known to arrange our weekly schedules so that we can watch that and the Scandinavian Cooking on PBS, which is also airs on Saturdays but in the afternoon.

We have only just discovered the DOTCH Cooking Showdown, "DOTCHI NO 
RYORI" SHOW, subtitled in English, on LA's International Channel 18, 
Saturday nights at 8:00 p.m. The title means: "Which food?"

Two specific dishes are presented by the cooks engaged by the show's two 
hosts. They spend the hour tempting the hearts and palates of seven 
hungry judges, who are polled several times so see which they would 
prefer to eat. The final poll at the end of the show determines the 
winning dish. Only those judges who voted for the winning dish get to 
eat it, the rest get to watch and go hungry.

The pairs of dishes are usually similar in some respect; both sweets, 
or after-school sandwiches, or dinner entrees. In a way that makes the 
decision even more difficult! Segments with the farmers or 
manufacturers of top-flight ingredients, restaurant chefs fill in the 
gaps and increase the anticipation. The hosts are jolly, the judges 
down-to-earth regular people and the outcome always a surprise.

I think I am learning more actual cookery techniques from Dotchi No 
Ryori than I ever did from Iron Chef.

Susan
