I was wondering why I hadn't put this on YouTube, so I made it happen. How 'bout that?!?
ID each culinary dish, whose name is anagramized, and accompanied by images of three key ingredients. Tasty!

Video: Trivial Palindromes Semordnilap Laivirt
Fun, fun—from last week's quiz, the video round, "Trivial Palindromes Semordnilap Laivirt." A longtime trivial dream I made come true.
And hey, don't forget: The first quiz of the '10s is a week from tonight, 1/4, at (Le) Poisson Rouge. Rebuses, Big Endings, all that good stuff; see you then.

This Monday—a video-round preview
Hola, disciples. This Monday, the video round is another new gem, "Several Pictures Are Worth Fewer than a Thousand Words." What does that mangled Chinese proverb indicate, for quiz purposes? It means this: behold, a sample…
Nice expressionistic collage, isn't it? But puzzle out the constituent pieces and you'll discover they have something in common:
A spike
The BQT logo
The USA
An oxygen tank
An old-timey nickelodeon
Yes, indeed: They're all cable networks. Each one of these will feature five elements that have one thing in common. This Monday night; be present.
As for the audio round, we're doing "And They're Off!" Your first task is to guess what the theme is. Plus, more theater tickets.
UPDATE: Yeah, this example is pretty tough, though I assure you, it's harder than what we're actually using. But EDP and I have been discussing (Mrs. EDP was completely stumped by it), and we'll be tweaking the challengingness a little. Everything's cool; trust your quizmaster.
