Dotch Cooking Show

35 minutes into the show and the clear winner to me are the sushi rolls: the rolls made with toro look fantabulous. :thumbsup:

It may have been my imagination, but it seemed like everytime they showed the sumo wrestler, he had this expression on his face like he was thinking, "You've got to be kidding! There has to be more than just this!!" :shakehead:

:lol: :lol:

Doesn't matter much to him: he's on the winning team and he gets to eat rice balls 'til he's blue in the face.

And that's gotta be a lotta rice balls. :sweat:


I can't believe the sushi rolls lost. Time for a recount.

So desu yo ne!!!!!!! :hehe: I was really struck by the irony of a sumo wrestler eating rice balls. Who says the Japanese don't have a sense of humor?!!?

The show just started and it's not quite what you said: it looks like a battle between two sushi types: sushi rolls vs. rice balls... ;)

It didn't look like that in the picture. It looked like a roll and rice balls.

Which reminds me, I stopped by Mitsuwa over the weekend (see Food thread) and picked up an ad:

‚Ç‚çÄ‚« (dorayaki/bean paste cake) vs. ƒVƒ…[ƒNƒŠ[ƒ€ (shu?? cream)

sweets battle? :woot:

What a coincidence: Dorayaki vs. Cream Puffs.

Are you watching, Tu?? :hehe:

good :)...i was just commenting that it's the same type of cream puff, that is the pastry shell and the choux cream filling are the same....

bmwracer wrote:hmm, the filling appears to be custard cream, not pure whipped cream... :headscratch:

i believe it's a combination of custard and whipped cream...

okay i had to leave the house right before the final decision was handed down...what won? the dorayaki or the cream puff...honestly despite past recommendations by bmwracer...i had never seen this show..becaause i'm hardly ever home at that time on saturday night.. i was pretty impressed...it's fun to watch, and very educational, too....seems to make one drool with desire a bit much tho...... :sweat:

i think i'll try to catch this show more often...or remember to tape it.
