Iron chef evilness

eustaciavye77So tonight Eric and I decided to be oh so intellectual and watch iron chef. The usa version cause that's what was on. Two dudes doing incomprehensible things with crabs. If I liked crab, it would have looked yummy.
This naturally led to Eric and I discussing making 5 course meals with theme ingredients. Here is my 5 courses of bananas (not that I could actually make all of these in 60 minutes):
Salad - Pieces of banana, carrot, raisins and pecans with chianti vinagrette dressing
Soup - some sort of creamy soup (perhaps something along the lines of the coconut soup at thai restaurants) served in a bread bowl which is made from dense slightly sweet banana bread
Appetizer - slices of banana deep fried in a crust of flour, cumin, red pepper, and other curryish stuff served with onion and mango chutneys
Main Course - modifying a chicken recipe I have which involves baking the chicken in a sour cream based mixture by adding bananas to the mixture. I'd have to look it up to see exactly what was in the sauce originally
Desert - Banana slices dipped in super ultra uber dark chocolate, frozen, and served with a homemade raspberry compote
I'm actually quite impressed with myself for being able to come up with all of this.
Now I'm starting to ponder having an iron chef competition with the meeplets crew. Not sure how we would make this work or where we would do it, but i think it would be a lot of fun.
