There is a whole group of reality tv shows like "Top Chef" where people make food which is then graded by judges. The food reviews are often annoying, as the judges pontificate and generally bitch about the food. This has always struck me as a little insensitive. Both here in the US and abroad, there are many people who remain "food insecure." That's a polite way of saying they have no idea where their next meal is coming from. You give these people food, they're going to eat it. They won't complain because the custard is off or because the quail is liberally covered in olive oil.
So, in the spirit of this blog, I offer a new cooking show. Transport a group of American chefs to Africa and have them cook dishes for famished villagers. The judging is pretty simply. If the food sucks, you get beheaded. Following the first and only episode, the kitchen is ransacked and the studio is torched. The American chefs will get flown back to the US, but only after several weeks of forced labor.
The host of the show will be the fat girl from Glee. She'll lock herself in a cabinet and live on peanut butter for weeks.
