I based my evaluation on the events surrounding the Breyers All Natural Ice Cream Sundae Quickfire Challenge, as I believe most of the snarkiness (apart from one notable example, to be discussed separately) erupted afterwards. My hypothesis? That gluten in one's frozen desserts can lead to poor decision-making and the sullen grumps. Here's this episode's tally of who was naughty and who was nice, together with each contestant's respective quickfire ice cream flavor.
Naughty
- Yigit: chocolate chip cookie dough (gluten-rich). Demonstrated appalling judgement by serving the judges a non-Vesuvial dessert.
- Malika: cookies and cream (gluten-rich). Whined and fussed about who-knows-what, demonstrating a level of self-pity unbecoming in a pastry chef.
- Heather H: vanilla fudge twirl (gluten-free). Just plain embarrassing.
- Zac: cherry vanilla (gluten-free). Remained calm and composed despite the two crazies with whom he had to work.
- Morgan: mint chocolate chip (gluten-free). Seemed rather nice in this episode, even though I'm not usually a fan.
- Erika: chocolate (gluten-free). Always classy.
- Danielle: Rocky Road (gluten-free) Didn't make an impression, which (given the variety of unstable personalities on this show) is a good thing.
Do we see a pattern here? One hundred percent of nice, even-tempered, reasonable cooks used g/f Breyers to make their sundaes. Seventy-five percent of whiny, difficult, petulant, and crabbed cooks had gluten in their ice cream.
A mere coincidence? I think not!
Next up: I take refuge in the thought that my two favorite Ben & Jerry's flavours, Cherry Garcia and Pistachio Pistachio, are gorgeously, gloriously, gluten-free.
