Why don't we have the generals from Burma contest the US chefs in Kitchen Stadium?

Let Burmese folks be the judges of what's good food. Aung San Suu Kyi, U Win Tin and U Tin Oo to be special judges.

That way we can see how high tech they are -- can they operate an ice cream machine.

Do they know the international names of dishes? Maybe they do.
