Sure, there are a couple of male celebs who have come out as vegetarians (think: Joaquin Phoenix and Tobey Maguire), and women may be slowly entering culinary school as butchers instead of pastry chefs but, says Slate's Riddhi Shah, "in the American consciousness, real men still don't eat quiche and women stick with chocolate, tofu and yogurt."

So why do certain foods (and drinks) get divided among gender and why is America at the forefront of the girl vs. boy pack? Read more about it here.

If you've been wondering how to give your burger an extra little kick, this piled up sandwich topped with bacon-wrapped jalapeno poppers should do the trick.

Summer and ice cream sandwiches go hand in hand. Who doesn't love a large dollop of cool, creamy goodness pressed between two crunchy cookies? Well, those allergic to gluten might be raising their hands right about now. Never fear.

Thanks to blogger Picky Gourmet (a.k.a Callie Anne, who is studying to be a chef in L.A.) we bring you an exotic ice cream sandwich that even the gluten-intolerant can enjoy. Picky Gourmet discovered Glow's Gluten-free cookies and writes: "They are not bland, or sandy or dry or earthy, or stick-in-your-teethy or off in any way whatsoever."

Glow cookies come in four flavors: Snickerdoodle, Chocolate Chip, Double Chocolate Chip and Gingersnap. Picky Gourmet chose Gingersnap and shared her delicious recipe for Mango Curry Ice Cream, made with fresh mangoes and yellow curry, here (scroll down past the cookies). Enjoy!
