POLL: Which Chopped All-Stars Ingredients Would You Actually Cook With?
by FN Dish Editor in Polls, Shows, April 18th, 2012

Week two of Chopped All-Stars had gourmet globetrotting contestants Marcela Valladolid, Keegan Gerhard, Jeffrey Saad and Aarti Sequeira dealing with some offbeat ingredients. Some would even argue that the ingredients were more difficult than those dealt to the Iron Chefs the week before.
While we may not be running out to the market to pick up a pound of tripe, some of the ingredients are more commonly used, like chicken feet, which are great to flavor chicken broth.
This leads us to ask you:

I voted galangal, because it is so similar to ginger. I made roasted fish using it with lemongrass. It was delicious! :)
disapointed that you brought the contenders that didn't win next netwoork star. to this Chopped all stars THEY ARE NOT STARS YET> potential but NOT STARS.
They did the same thing last time. My only objection is referring to them as "Fan Favorites." Debbie Lee was certainly not well-liked by the viewers, and this season, Vic is the only likable one among the four.
Penny was the least liked!!
YOU ARE RIGHT ,I DID NOT LIKE HER SHE WAS SNOBISH
I wasn't a fan of any of them. Vic grossed me out with his too many tats and vacant expression. He lacked stage (or tv) presence. Cooking is number one. However, due to the nature of NFNS, personality is also key. These 4 missed the mark considerably.
I picked Ostrich egg, I’ve only ever saw tjrm when i went on a safari tour but never in a grocery store.
WHERE DO I FIND YOUR ORGANIZER BLOGS?…YA KNOW ON EVERYTHING FROM SPRING CLEANING YOUR KITCHEN, ORGANIZING YER SPICES,ECT…
I don't have a blog site, but maybe I can help- I am really good at that stuff…
i picked parsely root , its something different i wanna see what they can do it
Why isn't there a "none of the above" option?
It's called not voting!!
I would use the chicken feet to make homemade style chicken noodle soup. Saute garlic in olive oil until its golden brown in a sauce pan then pour the garlic oil into the chicken broth so the flavors fuse together. I would also slice onions into thw broth. Then add japanese style udon noodles. fish out the chicken to take off as much meat from bone as possible. add meat pieces back into soup. then put soup in bowl. top is with a little red chilli oil for heat and celantros for color and freshness.
Chicken feet are great for making stock. Never waste. If you don't eat it, use it for stock or feed it to your dogs (before cooking). I buy whole chickens, feet included, all the time. It is muli purpose. People and dog food.
I have free-range chickens and I know what their feet look like and what they trample in on a daily basis. NO WAY would I ever cook with them!
I'd like to try an ostrich egg – Omlets for Everyone! :-)
That and using one of those egg blowers (least I think that would work on such a large eggs) leaves the shell intact and makes beautiful carvings for Easter. Sounds good!
Yes they do make beautiful carvings. I hav several emu egg creations (like, but green in color). Same process.
I have used emu eggs. They are similar but their shell is green. The shells are great for carvings.
How about 1 really big deviled egg!!
