nigella should play wonder woman.
i like the caprial and john cooking show. they are local, you can walk down to their restaurant and watch the cameras roll. pretty neat. a married couple, both chefs, both really annoying...their dynamic is insane sometimes.

Possibly curried dried insects and they were yummy. Otherwise ya know, snails, but no big deal for me.
My grand parents used to take me on snail hunts regularly. I know all about how to make snails edible. You cant just eat them just picked. They have to starve for 3 days or so before they are suitable for human consumption. So you do this in your sink with a metal grid over them so that they dont escape and then you boil them, after which the shell and body part company... Shall I say more ?
Then of course there is the famous rabbit in blood sauce. I know how to kill a rabbit (humanely), skin it, save the blood, stop it from congealing etc...
Maybe I could make a cookery programme?  |

Maybe I should marry you instead of Nigella! That's pretty damn cool Daniele.
Insects and shellfish--anything with an exoskeleton I have an aversion to so you beat me there.
Coq au Vin? Alligator? Rattlesnake? Stuffed ponce? Tripe? Beef Tendons? |

I love to cook, and do watch the shows for ideas. I never actually note the exact recipes and try to recreate them, though.

that's me exactly. i had a mate who would sit with a notebook and try to write it all down. i'd see something and say "oh wow - that's a great idea..." and she'd get mad and SHHHHHH! me.

You beat me to it, Becky - *i'd* marry Nigella if i played on that team!
I love cooking shows, and i love to cook. I tend more towards searching foodtv.com for recipes than taking them right from the shows, however.

I like watching Paula Deen, because I get a kick out of hearing that southern accent! Plus, most of what she makes looks positively yummy.
