Oh, and Jones was there too.


It's time again for Iron Chef Something Awful!

It's May, or it will be tomorrow, and means it's time for my second ICSA! The first one went super well and was a lot of fun, and we're still eating through all the bao in the freezer, so I'm gonna keep running them and you can't stop me!

The competition will run from May 1st to May 31st, and judging will happen the first week of June.

The theme of this one is...



Side Dishes!
Not the star of the dish, but arguably just as important and often more delicious, for this competition I want to see three side dishes. They can all be for the same meal, or for separate meals, but as before I want a recipe, pictures and a writeup of what you've made. Say what your main was too, but you don't have to go into as much detail.

This one is not specifically vegetarian or vegan, you can make your side dishes from whatever you like, but I do want three of them!

Not desserts, I want something that goes on the plate or table beside a main dish.

But am I allowed to enter?
Of course! Why not? It doesn't matter if you've won one before, or you've never cooked in your life.
Post your entry as a separate thread within GWS. Each entry gets it's own thread, no hijacking, then post a link to your thread here. Then go read the rest of GWS, it's a cool subforum!

When can I enter?
Any time up until the end of May, even if it's the 31st..

How do I enter??? My head hurts.
Make a new thread in GWS and post your three dishes in there, then link it here. I want ingredients, I want pictures, and I want to be hungry by the end of your post!

The prizes will be:
$20 for the winner
$10 for second place
$10 for third place.

Judging will be in a separate thread, during the first week of June.

Next month I'll try and see about getting a fund set up, since it's been okayed by admins, but I'm still good for this month. I spent April writing a book and my brain is a bit too fried to deal with it.

Ok, Ready... Steady... Cook!

First post reserved for entries. (entrés)

My partner has suggested an alternative subtitle: Imagine 4 Bowls (side dishes) on the Edge of a Cliff

Imagine 4 Bowls (side dishes) on the Edge of Me

I haven't entered one of these before, this seems like the perfect entry. Plus there's a food holiday this month, great excuse!

I am extremely bad at making banner ads. Somebody with talent please do better!

Those have a certain charm, reminds me of the old days on the forums. I'll give it a lil to see if anyone else wants to take a shot.

OK, friends are invited round, ingredients have been added to shopping lists, and the Eurovision party starts sufficiently late that we can fit it all in on Saturday…

I should have made the moving banner say Slide Dishes.

Glad to have you all! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with. :D

I'm going to try to participate too.

The photo you selected had me thinking of Thanksgiving flavors like squash and potatoes which are reliably delicious, but I'm also looking around for more fresh, Spring inspirations.

I also have a cupboard full of beans I need to use.

My God, it's full of cat pictures!

I'll be able to do this one! Have one dish made already and did a test run of the second, since it's a little procedurally involved and I've never made it before (also I forgot a key ingredient and will have to go to the store again tomorrow to get it).

It turns out I make a lot of side dishes, and I have photographed none of them.

:same: Work and stuff going on at home has left me too drained in the evenings to do much but eat leftovers and play Hades II, poorly.
