Wait, there's Master Chef. It's not like Iron Chef and it's also
totally fake. We haven't watched it for ten years.

They're also always one big setup, at least here. Ratings is all that
matters.

I like "Chopped", for the judges. I also like "Chopped After Hours",
in which the judges cook, but don't formally compete. A pity it has so
few episodes.

I watched a couple of episodes of British Bake-off, but I'm not that
interested in baking so it didn't grab me.

I saw "Chopped" but mine was about modifying motorcycles.

I had some pastele sausage for breakfast. I bet you never saw one of those either. The weird thing is that it's made from pork and bananas. The good news is that it doesn't taste like bananas. The local folks love this stuff it seems.
