Ok, when we saw this new show, The Food Detectives on Food Network, I thought it could be pretty cool. A show that tries to bust the myths of food, such as getting drowsy because of turkey, and whether the “5-second rule” truly applies, is definitely up my alley.

But I didn’t believe the myth about not being able to eat 6 saltine crackers in less than a minute. That episode was enlightening, but I still didn’t believe it. I realize the tests and trials were pretty conclusive, but I had to test this one out myself.

So I sat down with 6 saltine crackers and started the clock. Amazingly enough, when you’re eating them as fast as you can, it’s tough to eat saltines! I was able to get 6 crackers into my mouth, and I actually did eat 3 of them before 1 minute was up, but I was unable to swallow all the crackers in 1 minute. I think personally that the dryness of the crackers has everything to do with it.

I’m convinced, however, that it could still be possible with practice. It can be done.

Ok, so we’ve been watching the new season of Dinner Impossible on Food TV and well, I think Chef Symon is good and all and I know he’s an Iron Chef, but perhaps he should stay on that show. I know that there was that scandal going on with Chef Robert Irvine exxagerating a little bit on his resume, but honestly, I really loved that man on that show. I think Robert Irvine is quite the talent. Chef Symon is cool and all but I just think the original format of the show is just not right. Of course, this could be because Chef Irvine was first and the “original” host. What do you think?
