In the world of culinary arts, food opinions can be as diverse as the flavours in a well-prepared dish. However, there are certain foodie opinions that, if voiced, might stir up controversy. They could, possibly, even lead to a Dessert Master’s cancellation.
So, just for the fun of it, we grilled each MasterChef: Dessert Masters contestant to find out which foodie opinion of theirs would get them cancelled. Here’s what they had to say.
Gareth Whitton
I have too many, but the big one is that I like pineapple on pizza. Basically, any anti-Italian sentiment — I tend to break all the rules and traditions. Also, vegetables have a place in desserts, and I don’t want to hear any arguments.
Jess Liemantara
This happened just the other day; I cut the cheese wrong. Apparently, you cut it like a piece of cake, but I cut it in the middle. I work with a lot of French people whom I have now offended.
Andy Bowdy
I only have two: frozen mashed potato is delicious, and apricots are the best fruit.
Adriano Zumbo
I don’t know if it will get me cancelled, but I don’t believe you need to wear gloves all the time in the kitchen. I guess the online community can take that and run with it however they see fit.
Anna Polyviou
I think the trifle I did on the show would get me cancelled. Just kidding. I don’t have one per se, but I would have loved to have served Amaury ants. I really wanted to freak him out with them, but he’s French, so he’s seen enough snails.
Morgan Hipworth
I hate cucumber and capsicum. Whenever I tell people that, they’re always like, ‘What?’ But I despise them. They’re so strong they overpower everything.
Kirsten Tibballs
If you put chocolate in the fridge, we can’t be friends.
Kay-Lene Tan
I love, love pineapple on pizza and I don’t care who knows it. Adam D’Sylva also loves it, and a few of my chef friends love it. There are no rules when it comes to food, right?
