She could have mistaken the gauntlets for food, and unknowingly grabbed them. Then she will take a bite, and have nothing but gums and a tongue left in her mouth. She doesn't exactly have the power of smell, so it is probable. Although, why one of the stands would be exhibiting food, I have no idea. Maybe it's some sort of magic eggplant that can taste like anything you want it to taste like, but have the nutritional value of an eggplant.
