A real Iron Chef challenge.

So, I do enjoy the Iron Chef America show, especially when Mario Batali's on, but really, could you get any more softball than a lot of the ingredients they choose? Tonight's battle is parmigiano reggiano. How can you not think of like, a billion things to use that for? I'm a total hack, and I could handle that.

There are occasional surprises, like the Battle Opa Opa, in which I don't think Mario Batali had even ever seen that fish before, let alone cooked with it. But it's still a pretty damn nice looking fish.

I wanna see some secret ingredients that really give the chef a challenge. I'm talking nasty bits and crummy processed food products. I wanna see Battle Spam, Battle Chipped Beef, and Battle Potted Meat Food Product. I wanna see Battle Trotters, Battle Chitlins, and Battle That Funky Dangly Bit in the Back of the Throat.

Mix things up a bit, and really put the heat on 'em.
