haha...good analogy....well in japan they have this type of pork called "kurobuta" (black pork)...also known as Berkshire pork...i guess the pigs were originally brought over from England many years ago...it is widely regarded as the best, most flavorful pork available. it's somewhat difficult to find...but it's absolutely tasty...

at Daikokuya Ramen in Little Tokyo, L.A. they use it in their ramen. it's velvety, succulent, and soft and basically melts in your mouth...it really does.

Sounds oishii, unfortunately, I'll be out of town this weekend :grumble:

Anyone know the result??

i didn't have time to watch the ending, only got through the first half, up to where they caught the watara crab... at that point it was tied i think.

damnit all to hell...

seems like my nephew turned off the VCR sat night and so the tape stopped as they were starting Final Prep.. no idea who won... but those scallops looked bad ass. :drooling:

Mitsuwa SJ has a local ad this week, so I don't know the menu.

missed out on another dotch....too bad they don't have missed eps on d-addicts...ok, too much to ask for.... :bonk: lol

im definately not a soupy curry kind of guy.

that rayu looked very fragrant, never knew that much thought was needed for making it.

It looks like they are not through with curry. This week's battle includes Thai curry vs. some vegetable curry.

It looks like they go in cycles, if it's a curry battle this week, then we should be having a ramen battle in another week or two

The Thai curry with the coconut milk look oishii, ne :dancing:

Thai curry loses!!! :beaten: 2 from the Thai curry side changed their minds, I don't understand it :shakehead:
