The Pardoner is a man that sells forgiveness. The Cook is a dirty man who makes good tasting food. The Pardoner is more morally corrupt than the Cook. The Pardoner is greedy, untrustworthy, and manipulative. The Cook is none of these.
The Pardoner is greedy, you can tell by the way he can take money from people who need it more than he does. He takes money from poor women with starving children without batting an eye.

The pardoner seems to have everyone wrapped around his sinful fingers. The Cook has not manipulated anyone. He has no need to. All he has to do is make good tasting food, and he
