What’s in Your Ultimate Chopped Basket?
by FN Dish Editor in Shows, January 21st, 2013
Three rounds, three different baskets and 12 out-of-this-world ingredients. Whether it’s Chopped Champions, All-Stars or regular-season episodes, that’s a lot of combinations to come up with.
So we’re asking this question: What would be included in your ultimate Chopped basket? Not something you’d want to receive, but something you’d give to a fellow competitor. Would there be two proteins? All sweets? Would you include one or two ingredients they’ve probably never heard of? It can be argued that the simplest ingredients like eggs, chicken, pasta and rice are sometimes the hardest.
Tell us what you’d choose in the comments below.

The first course should be green tea, powdered sugar, astronot ice cream, and salami
I think they should do a vegetarian/gluten free challenge
Appetizer: rice pasta, gluten-free bread, Pina Colada mix, almond butter
Entree: Tofu, cocoa powder, iceberg lettuce, protein bars, ketchup
Dessert: Unsweetened Almond milk, Meyer Lemons, Cheetos, cilantro
ME TOOO!!! PLEASE, IT'S ABOUT TIME!!
B&M Brown Bread Original
HP sauce
Bacalaitos – Codfish Fritter Mix
Naranja Agria Bitter Orange Marinade
Yellow Hot Whole Peppers
app: live octopus, root beer, durian, marmite
ent: century egg, kiviaq, retsina, corn starch
des: potatos, rosewater syrup, pearl onions, MSG
marmite- a sticky, dark brown paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it."
kiviaq- fermented gull an Inuit delicacy
century egg- aged egg
A live octopus would take up too much time …first you have to soften it because otherwise it is impossible to handle.
Appetizer: lemon yoghurt, raw carrots, sea salt and a whole pineapple
Main: pickled eggs, lake trout, barley and apple cider vinegar
Dessert: dark chocolate, smoked salmon, seaweed and dandelion greens
I hate the shows where they have to butcher something that was alive in the basket. Some of them really mangle the poor thing before it finally dies and is out of it's misery. I'm not on team PETA but that is hard to watch.
How about Fresh Kale, Pinkelwurst, Irish oatmeal and pig knuckles.
Then for dessert Danish dessert, Vanilla pudding, strawberry and tortilla's
Buffalo heart, already made Native American Fry Bread and Blackberry's
Chopped should do an all vegetarian meal as one of the competitions.
PLEASE!
I like where your head is at but it all comes down to what the chef decides to make either way.
I'd throw a twist into the game. Allow them only what a homemaker could get with Food Stamps and give them a budget for each meal – serves 4. Same for the pantry. You can allow something a wise homemaker might grow in their apartment balcony container gardern, tomatos, peppers, field lettuce, a few fresh herbs. No alcohol, no wine, no thousands of herbs and spices. Just a few basics like garlic powder, cayenne, salt, and pepper, minced onion. If you like you can give them a little extra time to shop (or you could just do that part off screen and tell us here's what they've chosen on their budget).
Awesome idea have Melissa D'Arabia be a judge!
For the Appetizer: Crawfish, torillia chips, marchino cherries and jicama.
For the Entree: Bison, sweetened coconut flakes, raisin-bran cereal, and radishes.
For the Dessert: Broccoli, sour patch kids, fresh ginger, and confectioner's sugar.
