Let's stop dilly dallying and declare a winner!

First place goes to MD with 23 points! Congrats, and you get to pick the next ingredient.

2nd place goes to Jax-Tiger with 17 points. Looks delish!

I would eat any of the chicken dishes submitted, but to be honest, I did not like my chicken rendang dish. It was a whole lot of work with a lot of ingredients and it wasn't delicious. I ended up adding ingredients to the paste that weren't in the recipe I used, but were from other rendang recipes, because it tasted awful at first. What a disappointment.

Anybody object if I take charge of this? Jax-Tiger? I'm not working at the moment and am sort of sliding into retirement, so I have time.

How about next challenge entries due on Wednesday, Oct.21 by 9:00 p.m.? I'll open a thread for submissions by 9:00 a.m on Wednesday morning and any submissions after 9:00 p.m will be ineligble. Voting will be open through Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m.

Don't forget, at least one photo and a recipe.

Hopefully, MD has some ideas for the next ingredient.

Objections? Suggestions?

i get photos and a general ingredients list. but a full recipe? you serial?

PS- your rendang looked fiya.

Also Voting should be posts not upvotes.

And yes someone should take this over as it would be a decent amount of work. But How i would do it is a should be started when the ingredient is listed. Thats where the entries woul dbe submitted. Then when your ready to vote you go and take their dish pic and make a thread about voting.

I think full recipe should be optional. That's just my suggestion to help have more contestants. But thanks for pushing the challenge into the next phase

I’m okay with discussing using an ingredient list and a method. Jax-Tiger had put the recipe and picture requirements in the original. I wasn’t trying to change everything.

Recipes are for bakers

No real chef is pulling out measuring spoons

When we did a chopped challenge about 7 years ago, everyone would email their submissions to one person, who then posted each submission without identifying who they were from. Now THAT was a lot of work. Votes were submitted by posting the number that went with a submission. Not sure we want to do that, but we can discuss posting votes vs upvotes.

That is for the winner to decide. He has not chimed in, yet.

no absolutely. i think this should remain rather informal.

And i think/hope the main ingredient should stay simple. being an informal competition, the winners shouldnt pick something you couldnt find at any grocery store you walk in to. ie Swordfish, Chilean Seabass, Bull tesitcles, etc.

The chopped challenge used 4 ingredient if I remember right, nominated and then selected by the winner.

I'm cool not doing a full 4 and trying to make it difficult, but maybe 2 or 3.

Or just one main ingredient.

The purpose is to share your best recipes. I think simple recipes that don't take all day and others can replicate are better than complicated recipes that have a 2 page ingredient list or require specialized equipment.

So y'all are both saying my chicken rendang was a sucky idea?

I agree.

I hate choosing the next ingredient. I guess it will be Pork - whatever you want to use - sausage, chops, roast, butt, ribs, testicles, chitterlings, snout, tail, whatever.

If you are at a loss, the Big Apple Inn 509 Farish Street in Jackson makes a wonderful Pig Ear Sandwich that to me would be a hands down winner. If not that, then their Hots. Watch the video to understand.

Watching this is time well spent - seriously, do it.

Use of tater tots will be optional, but I am already compiling a unique tater tot and pig ear casserole recipe, so watch out.

That seems way too vague, MD. I think when you're judging via pictures and recipes, it's easier to judge when you can compare a particular protein/ingredient used with a number of different spices, veggies, complementary proteins, ethnic background, etc.

I don't know....I know my opinion isn't worth anything but just tossing it out there that a particular cut may be easier for judging.

I'm okay with what Darla decides. We can always use "pork" multiple times with the caveat that you can't resubmit a recipe that you previously entered. Or we can use a specific cut of pork. Or something in between. Pork ribs could be baby back or spareribs. We could specify, or leave it at "ribs".
