To be fair contestants shouldn't be allowed to cook their original countries dishes. Indians should cook Italian - Italians - Indian etc etc. I am sick and tired of curries and pasta cooked by people whose national dish it is.

It would be interesting too, if the contestants cook a dish from another country than theirs, and then have it judged by people from that country to determine if the cooks got it - texture and flavour - right.
