    Chaiman Kaga is hilarious and why he chooses to eat a whole, raw capsicum in the opening credits is something I will never understand. Judging by the look on his face, he didn't understand it either.

    I speak Japanese a bit so some of the translations are really funny. There are an awful lot of un-translatable colloquialisms in Japanese and listening to the ridiculous American English attempts is priceless. The selection of dishes is also incredible, especially to a western palate.

    I want to see Jamie Oliver vs Iron Chef French Hiroyuki Sakai using something like truffles! That would be a fantastic battle.
    I agree totally. The Iron chef was a great show (Japanese version) and the American voiceovers were very "special".

    I would like to see Jamie vs Iron Chef Italian using something like eggplant.

    How about Iron Chef French vs Gordon Ramsay!!!

    VIN plate 5/79 S3? you say, OK I'll double check. thanks. Iron Chef - Japanese cuisine show- the host and the three master chefs were quite amusing, little old lady judge was a bit full of it though.
    As for the mention of Jamie Oliver? Pardon me, but to me he is a foul mouthed boor.

    If it has a VIN plate it is a S3 - they were not invented when the S2a went out of production. Note that I doubt it is labelled as a Series 3 or anything anywhere!
    Series 3 is easily distinguished from the Series 2a - a few checks:-

    Windscreen hinges : S2a hinges are part of bulkhead and windscreen frame
    S3 hinges are bolted on, single hole.
    Instrument panel: S2a Metal, in the middle
    S3 Plastic, in front of driver
    Door checks : S2a Sliding bit is on bulkhead
    S3 Sliding bit is on door

    There are quite a few other differences, but most of them are on bits that can easily be swapped, so are not very definitive. The key, of course is chassis number, but as I said, if it has a VIN plate, it is an S3.

    Best show on TV: Iron Chef

    Worst show on TV: Iron Chef America

    Iron Chef (Japanese one) cracks me up. It's as much comedy as cooking show but I almost always want to try the things they make. Most look delicious !

    However... did you ever see the one where they hung up that slimy fish and filled it with water so they could skin it / butcher it ? **** that was 'orrible ! Made Mekong River catfish look attractive.
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".

    Jamie Oliver V's the Iron Chefs would be a great to watch


    My favorite Iron chef is the one who uses the razor sharp ninja sword/machette to cook with.

    The voice overs while crap give the show a monkey magic type of atmosphere which makes it watchable crap.

    That would be dismissed in my workplace, even laughed at.
