What would you include in the baskets if you wanted to flummox the chefs on
"Chopped"?

Each basket (appetizer, main course, and dessert) contains four "must-use"
ingredients, and the contestants are given varying amounts of time for each
course. Here's what I'm thinking:


Appetizer (20 minutes):
chocolate-vanilla pudding cups
white grapefruit
deli macaroni salad
smoked oysters

Main Course (45 minutes):
sea cucumbers
coffee-flavored syrup
Miracle Whip
durian

Dessert (30 minutes):
natto
anchovies
retsina
balut
