Food and Drink Dessert Warfare: Round 5, Match 1

**Rain Man** · 05-20-2011, 11:17 AM

This is where the sugar meets the road. Round 5. We have 35 competitors left, so we'll go with four sets of matchups this time round.

**Old Dog** · 05-20-2011, 11:19 AM

In before poll (I guess that's the thing to do)

**Rain Man** · 05-20-2011, 11:26 AM

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake (1 Loss) vs. Peach crisp over Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream (1 Loss)

Gotta go with the vanilla bean today. I'm in a cheesecake kind of mood.

Raspberry chocolate cheesecake (1 Loss) vs. Layer Bars (Cashews, Chocolate Chips, Coconut over Cheesecake in Graham Cracker Crust) (0 Losses)

Whew. Tough one. These are two of the finest desserts to grace this American land of ours. This may be the toughest decision I've made in the entire tournament, but I have to go layer bars.

Peach Pie (1 Loss) vs. Strawberry shortcake (1 Loss)

Meh on both of these. I'll go shortcake.

Banana Split Sundae (0.5 Losses) vs. Homemade Vanilla Ice Cream (0 Losses)

Homemade vanilla for me. I don't understand the appeal of the banana split.

Key Lime Pie (1 Loss) vs. Banana cream pie (0 Losses)

Duh. Key lime pie by a mile. Key lime pie transports a person to the Florida Keys, fishing with Ernest Hemingway and watching girls in bikinis sashaying down the boardwalk. Key lime is the key to happiness.

So glad to eliminate key lime pie this round. It's good, but banana cream pie is like lying on a Caribbean beach, watching girls, who are far hotter than the ones found in the Keys, frolicking in the sand.

Banana cream is basically sitting in a nursing home mushing it between your toothless gums, watching the orderlies vacuum around the sagging breasts of the old widows watching The Price Is Right.

Nursing home! Nursing home!!! When you're lauding over-hyped green jello?

**luv** · 05-20-2011, 12:12 PM

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake
Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake (close call)
Strawberry Shortcake
Banana Split
Banana Cream Pie (not a fan of lime)

**RockChalk** · 05-20-2011, 12:14 PM

Haha...good riddance Key Lime. Back to the nursing home for you.

As God is my witness my wife just sent me this in an email:

"I’m thinking about tweaking that chocolate/raspberry cheesecake recipe – would you take it Monday if I made it Sunday? "

Freaky.

Weird. Maybe you should consider making layer bars instead.

I'm really pleased with the performance of layer bars. I love those things, and wasn't sure how they'd do since they don't have as strong a name recognition as some other options.

Vanilla Bean Cheesecake - Much better, IMO

Layer Bars - I almost cast a vote for the cheesecake, but I like coconut better than rasberry

Strawberry shortcake - peach just isn't my flavor

Banana Split Sundae - Close call

Banana Cream Pie - Sorry Key Lime

Right now it appears that banana cream has switched medications with key lime and slipped her a roofie.

They sound like the circus just pulled into town.

Key lime is stealthily sneaking up on banana cream. Very clever, key lime. Very clever.
