He answered as if the question was which is better, rather than what the difference was. Nervous rather than ignorant would be my take.
Irritated at their comments that Fabio was such a natural in the demo when they couldn't be bother to, you know, show any of it.
I suppose he was rattled. Well, I hope that was the problem because as a sushi chef he really should have known the answer!
It looked to me like he was thrown by having to talk and cook at the same time. Like you, I really HOPE that's the case, because it's not exactly a trick question.
Oh, one thing I remember about Eugene is that he was asked what the difference between sashimi and sushi was and he didn't answer the question properly.
It sounded either like he was rattled by the format or like they edited it oddly. It seemed kind of jumpy.

That was my reaction too. it was just odd, from someone who is usually more together.
Did they warn them that they would be talking to them during the demonstration? I would have thought that it was just the contestant talking to the camera, and wouldn't have been prepared for the questions.

I don't eat sushi, so what is the difference besides rice?
The rice is the difference. Sushi is vinegared rice.
Sashimi is raw fish.
Sushi has to have the rice but doesn't need to have the fish to be sushi.
I am pretty sure that while sushi can be non-fish, sashimi should be just fish.
Lee Anne makes some really good points in her blog about Alex vs Melissa, btw. (She agrees that the judges pretty much had no choice about sending Alex home, but thinks Melissa deserved the boot more.)
The rice is the difference.
He did say sashimi was rice-less. It was hard to hear because he sort of got cut off by Rocco re-asking the question a different way, so I'm guessing he thought he answered it.
