A quick question: Would the deep fried cornish game hen's filling be greasy if the whole bird was deep fried with the stuffing?

no, the bird was sewn shut and if you deep fry at a high enough temperature the surface seals it. Also the moisture of what you are frying tries to push out and prevents the oil from coming in. The only way for something deepfried to be oily is if; the oil wasn't hot enough, the oil has to many impurities in it and not enough oil, you overcook the item until there is no more moisture to keep the oil out.

ok, now that the call for the judges scores have come in I just want to say, don't pad the blow. I already know I am going to lose. The Iron Chef always loses when the judges comments are good and wins when they rip him to shreds. lol
But seriously, bread? MA where do you come up with these ingredients? lol I just reeeally hope Morimoto doesn't actually read this forum and is embarrassed by my poor performance. Ouch.

I don't know about that. Hirano seemed sharp. Kaifu is a diplomat so he tried not be to sharp or rip anybody to shreds. The scores will be closer due to the new judging rules, so who can say what the verdict is until they are announced. Back to Ohta, The following questions are for the exit interviews.
Ohta:" What did you think of the verdict? What did you think of your opponents dishes? "
Any other questions or comments from the tasting panel?

oh, wow. Ohta:" What did you think of the verdict? What did you think of your opponents dishes? " I am pleased. I would like to try some of them myself. Perhaps not the Chili though.

Ohta:" What did you think of the verdict? What did you think of your opponents dishes? " *Jimmy steps right up to the camera lens and puts his face right in it* Jimmy: Masaharu Morimoto, You think just because your an "Iron Chef" your better then Mamma James! We'll, I got news for you, Masaharu Morimoto, you havn't seen the last of Momma James! You havn't.... *A hand comes out from behind camera view and grabs Jimmy's ear and starts to twist. Jimmy bowes up in pain* Jimmy: Ooowwuuuchh! Momma! Stop it, your ruining my promo! Momma: Oh hush, Jimmy! Your scaring all the children. I'm just glad that I could prove to the world that My little Jimmy's faith in his momma is well placed. That nice Mr. Morimoto's dishes were just really good too. Thank you Mr Kaga for letting me come to Japan and prove just how good I can feed my little Jimmy.

Guys: you two did just fine. I actually scored Momma James a point higher in the originality part than I did Morimoto, because I figured Hirano would be surprised by the sophistication of a homestyle cook. I scored Morimoto very high on presentation and edged him on taste by only one point. Really, it worked out pretty well.

Thanks ICC.
I tried to play it looser since I think we had actually gotten to anal (myself especially) and it was loosing the fun because of it. This was funner with not trying to describe every little movement and leaving something to the imagination of the judges. For example I think you thought my dishes "looked" better then I did. lol
May I ask, MA, that we not start another one until after New Years though, or at least Christmas?

I think Arrianna's right. I'm going to be on holiday for the Xmas period until after the first week of Jan, so I wouldn't be able to participate any sooner.
