Kitchen Avengers
Dec. 2nd, 2011 08:47 pmWhenever I'm exploring new characters, I always enjoy asking myself two things: Can they sing? and Can they cook?
Tony (all these people are film canon only, sorry): Well, we have canon that he can't make an omelet, and my first reaction was, if you can't cook an omelet with twenty-first century nonstick technology, you can't cook anything. But then I reconsidered, because an omelet actually requires a peculiar sort of kitchen zen: you have to pay it continuous benign attention without monkeying with it. And Tony's attention does not work that way.
But what if you gave him a food where the whole point was to monkey with it? Like stir-fry -- once it's in the pan, you basically have to just keep messing with it. Also it's done really quickly, which is good given who we're talking about here.
Also I suspect Steve does all the tedious chopping for him.
( Steve, Natasha, Rhodey, Pepper, Fury, and Coulson )
