Do (You) miss your mother's cooking?
Just a handful of things I haven't figured out how to replicate, like her spring rolls. They took her two days to make and would puff when fried.
LOL no both of my parents were terrible cooks. It's mainly why I got interested in cooking myself. By high school I was making the lion's share of dinners in the house.
>>21657379no.my mother and her lazy cheap welfare cooking is why I no longer eat shepherds pie, or spaghetti. it was why I took over most of the cooking in my teens.the only people I know who miss mommies cooking are "men" who never learned to cook, and don't know what good food actually is.
>>21657379yes before my father lost his taste buds and got addicted to sugar. now my mother cooks to his taste. once in a while for family gatherings she cooks normally and it's good
>>21657379there was nothing my mother ever made that was memorable or extremely good. it was ok at best, if anything it inspired me that I could do better, and have.My mother-in-law was not much better, the one things she make that was good was thanksgiving and christmas dinner. she also made the best cookies ever.My dad cooked better than my mother but even his food was mediocre to what I make for myself.the last time I thought my moms food was good, I was probably 10. The same for my dad. they divorced when I was 12 and he went away, and my mothers food went to shit.
>>21657379Yes, but the sad part is that my mother is still alive. She had a debilitating illness some years ago, but mostly made a full recovery. However, in her older age, her cooking skills have declined severely. She used to be renowned as the greatest cook in my extended family, but now sometimes I have to pretend to enjoy her slop. Everything she cooks with is from a can or a bag, almost nothing from scratch. And it's almost like she can't tell or taste when things are done. A lot of time we'll have lasagna or something and it won't be fully puffed up because it wasn't cooked long enough at a high enough temperature. If ever try to kindly point any of this out she bursts into tears. Aging is so hard bros
>>21657420>If ever try to kindly point any of this out she bursts into tearsI made my mother-in-law cry because I dared to suggest that she change the sage in her stuffing. everyone was having to pick stems out of their mouth when they ate it despite how good it was. since she passed away I make her stuffing but I pick out the dried stems, or use fresh sage if I can get it.my mother-in-law wanted thanksgiving dinner to be EXACTLY the way she had been having it for 75 years despite having sticks in the stuffing. because that was how her mom made it (or something stupid like that).
>>21657379I still get to eat it occasionally.Also serena sexoo
>>21657379God no !
>>21657428You sound like a little shit. Of course you didn’t get it.
>>21657379Ash should've nailed Serena when he had the chance
>>21657450yeah fuck off. 27 years of going to my mother-in-laws, and picking sticks out of the stuffing, and expecting it to get better. how would I know that suggesting to make an improvement to something and not annoy everyone is not being a little shit.I would never EVER let my food get to the point of someone asking for an improvement. The first time I make something myself, and there is anything that ruins the experience I FIX IT!if someone does point out a problem with something I make, then I will consider it, if they are correct I take their advice. I don't cry. I only found out about a lot of her hangups over time, and especially when she could no longer cook and my wife and I were having to make thanksgiving, and putting up with her pouty looks if it was not exactly her way. which prompted me to just stop doing holiday dinners and leaving her to eat out somewhere. I no longer do big holiday meals, the wife and I enjoy a quite dinner at home with whatever nice I come up with. I/we are free now.
>>21657379No and in fact my mother is the world record holder in watching cooking shows on TV but never made anything new or improved her cooking skills
>>21657379>Do (You) miss your mother's cooking?Not anymore. When I was young and just getting out on my own I did miss it. But it was a comfort thing. I'm 40 now and have my own family. Everything my mom used to cook which I thought was good, I learned and made my own through improvements and alterations based on what my family likes.
>>21657379She made a few things that I do look back at with nostalgia and would still devour with impunity, even if on a strict culinary level they wouldn't be any good. She tried making nutritious things for me when I was younger, but it was never to my tastes, though I am thankful that she was conscientious of wanting to feed me nurtritious things, and I really should thank her for that. Cooking was never really a passion for her, but she does still try new things for people here and there on special occasions.
>>21657453Bro, they're not real. It's never "too late" for cartoons to "nail" anyone.
No, because I still visit them regularly and eat her food.
>>21657453How do you know he didn't?The camera isn't on them the whole time ya know. Huge timeskips where who knows what could have happened.
>>21657379My mom tries but she's not very good at cooking. She always brags about not needing to use measurements and then afterwards unironically complains about her own food having either way too much or too little salt.
Fuck no, she's an anti-salt health freak boomer with no knife technique and who's too stubborn to not cook every single thing on a high flame so most of what she makes is giant blocks of inconsistently cooked completely flavorless vegetables
>>21657379>spam>packet of rice a roni>can of green beansyes
>>21657379No, she only knew hot to make made a couple different hotdishes and frozen pizzas.
>>21657379Do I miss microwave dinners, crisps and soda every night in front of my PlayStation while I wait for her to come home? Not really, but I miss when video games were good.
>>21657379i live with her. her cooking is pretty basic though, her food is usually a bit too salty for my taste and her salads are always drenched in vinegar and salt
>>21657379Yeah. She got better at cooking over the years.
>>21657379I love my mum but no, everything she made was usually awful or tolerable at best. I became very fat as a kid because I preferred to eat junk food over whatever she made.
I love it.I know it's not amazing nor would I expect anyone else to like it, but it's suited for me.
>>21657379My mum couldn't cook to save her life, and my dad wasn't much better but tried pretty hard as I got older. For me it's my nan's cooking, she always put on a great feed or just had amazing baking around.
>>21657379No. Two memorable dishes from my childhood:"White Trash"- cook ground beef in a skillet, add ranch style beans, serve with kraft mac n cheeseChicken spaghetti: boil the hell out of chicken in unseasoned/unsalted water, discard water, shred chicken. Mix boiled chicken shreds, cream of mushroom soup, a can of rotel and put into a baking dish, top with shredded cheddar cheese, bake.The white trash wasn't that bad even though kraft sucks. I wouldn't ever make it again. Chicken spaghetti was awful though.We also had stuff that was fine like spaghetti with jarred tomato sauce added to skillet cooked ground beef and white people tacos using seasoning packets. Still nothing really worth missing though.My parents are better cooks nowadays.
I lived with a single alcoholic mom because courts hate dads. She had her flaws but she made the best porkchops and mac&cheese. It wasn't even a complicated crust on the chops, just black pepper and salt and maybe some garlic powder, and the mac was kraft. But it was amazing, especially with a dab of ranch and an episode of the Simpsons on the tv. And then I'd go play Rollercoaster Tycoon or Spy Fox on the computer. I miss these simple things. She made good homemade dumpling soup too. I also learned how to turn a stove burner off because she passed out drunk one night when I was 7 and she left it on. Anyway, call your mom anon, they're not long for this world.
>>21658002I only ever ran into 2 kids that had their Dad as a primary custodian, and I think its because their moms just up and left and wanted nothing to do with any of the family anymore.
>>21657379My dad handles most of the dishes in the house thoughbeit but my mom bakes a lot and makes salads & sides.
>>21658016I guess I'm lucky because I have two intact parents
>>21658016Yeah, checks out. Went to a bar with my dad a few years ago and he finally told me all the legal hurdles he went through to get custody of me. It became too expensive and his lawyer told him it was just gonna get harder. Shit's fucked. Anyway, I love cooking :D
No. She's still alive and makes a fine Thanksgiving dinner, but she rarely actually cooked. My dad can cook, but also didn't do it often. Almost nothing ever required a knife or prep work beforehand.There's some things I have a weird old affinity for. She used to make "chicken surprise," which was just chicken breast, cream of mushroom soup, and white rice, just basically thrown into the oven.
I'll say this, my dad had more cooking disasters than my mom. One was his american version of "bangers and mash". the peas were from a frozen bag and soggy and not flavorful, the mashed potatoes were from a bag and he managed to fuck that up, and the sausages were just crap. Then another day he attempted ribs. He marinated them over the course of a day and then threw them on the grill for too long. They were basically blackened charcoal at the end of the process. We still joke about the Rib Chips.
>>21657379Sometimes, though mostly what I miss is living with people who eat vegetables, it's hard to keep the stuff for great salads on hand in quantities one burned out person will consume. That said I cannot replicate her butternut squash soup, and the quality of produce where she lives is just better than anything around here.
>>21658126Similar for me, I can make the meat and carb dishes as well but I can’t do the veggie stuff
>>21657428I don't get why people cry about stuff like that. You just criticised the food, not her as a person
Kys pedo freak
>>21658415I'm not gonna kys you, sorry
>>21657399You're me. My mum nearly poisoned me with raw chicken fajitas once, so I had to learn.
>>21657379She still lives in town and I regularly bring food over to her that I cook, and she gives me food she's cooked. I've spent every thanksgiving since birth with my family cooking our dishes for each other and consider myself incredibly lucky for this.
>>21657379Never met her. My fake mom was OK at baking but in retrospect I should never have eaten any of that shit though the lemon bars were good.
>>21657399The people who miss their mother's cooking are blessed enough to have had a mother whose food was worth missing, unlike yours. Sorry you drew the short straw on parenting and IQ but you don't need to pretend your mommy issues are anything but that.
>>21657621>her food is usually a bit too salty for my taste and her salads are always drenched in vinegar and saltanon... I... I have bad news for you. she's trying to get you to leave by serving you shitty food.

>>21657453Misty clears that French Mary sue whore
>>21658878So is she better or worse?I don't speak Retard.
>>21658894France is a country in Europe.
>>21658904Oh, gross
>>21658904Oh, I read about it. Isn't that the one where people the whole day are doing nothing else but while wearing a beret carrying long loafs of bread up and down the road?
>>21658961No, it's where they stab women while shouting "Allahu Ackbar!"
>>21657379Mom never cooked, she was the breadwinner and my stay at home dad was the cook.
>>21658655He admitted himself that he was raised by a lazy welfare whore who fed him poison growing up so of course his perspective is going to be skewed by such a lousy upbringing. I pity him but he's not going to get over his baggage until he can admit to himself that he's the problem, not well-adjusted people with proper good memories of a proper loving household that he never had.

>>21657379God yes. My mother was taught how to cook by her grandmother, who used to cook for royalty and prime ministers.
>>21659578I bet your uncle used to work for Nintendo, too
>>21657399>the only people I know who miss mommies cooking are "men" who never learned to cook, and don't know what good food actually is.lmao, this nigga never tasted the secret ingredient called love.
>>21659588Why are you so cynical?I have photo evidence, but I am not gonna dox myself for the approval of random anons on a glowy honneypot forum.
>>21657379my mom always food poisoned me.
>>21657379>you will never have this because some demons said it was progress
>>21657379My mom was not a good cook
>>21657379Yeah. Growing up I always considered it kinda boring/took it for granted but in hindsight I can see her meals were healthy and had lots of nutrition. I learned later that she used to cook for people on ranches... lots of meat and potatoes, veggies. Also different kinds of stews, salmon, stir fry. The meals tended to be very well balanced. Whenever I get to eat her cooking I feel strong afterward.My dad can't cook crap for himself and was a serious asshole about forcing her to cook all the meals.
>>21658878Dawn > all and its not even close
>>21657379No.She wasn't very good.
>>21657379I visit my parents every week and my mom cooks for us. She's good at cooking and I learned a lot of the basics from her, then started doing my own thing when I moved out. She freely admits that I make some things better, and sometimes I will cook for us.I bet I will miss it once she's gone, though, and I'm afraid of it.
>>21657379God damn look at Ash's mom. How does that kid not have any siblings?
>>21657428You sound like an insufferable cunt. I beat your spouse despises you.
>>21657379Yeah, she's not bad.
>>21660258He will. She's getting Oak'd.
>>21659589>secret ingredientlove is not an ingredient. your mom made shit from the back of a can, or box. she had no actual ability to cook. A real man can cook without a recipe, with what he has a round, and it will be better than anything mommy might make. now get out of your moms basement and be a man.
>>21660500>I beat your spouse despises you.nope. she adores me and my cooking. you just don't like truth. I've been married 31 years. you can't even get a date.
>>21660500>I beat your spouse despises you.Leave my spouse alone
>>21657379I only miss the warmth of her uterus.
>>21659639zoomer
>>21660521>love is not an ingredientSure but it's pretty obvious what happens when a parent doesn't give a shit about the kid she's cooking for. That's what that anon meant. That's why original anon is so bitter about people whose parents loved him. If his mother cared she would have done better and he would have learned cooking alongside someone who could pass on recipes that weren't canned spaghetti, but she didn't and it shows.
my mother has been gone for about 10 months now. Most of what she made was simple stuff, some boxed, some canned, some homemade (she would spend all day on a ragu, or a soup, or chicken and dumplings) and she had a recipie box full of stuff from her mom, her husband's (not my dad's) mom. There was one casserole she'd call mexican casserole that i fucking loved when i was a lad. But most of the time, i just miss her in the kitchen. Because she'd go "hey, Brian, help me peel potatoes" or have me pick up her pot of boling water to dump it because i'm over a foot taller and she was also my mom and could just tell me to do things. I miss talking to her about what was for dinner, or what she was doing because when i was a kid i didn't live with her until my dad got too abusive. And really, i just miss my mom, anons.
My mommy makes the best baked chicken with fluffy jiffy dumplings in cream of chicken soup and other stuff. The dumplings are so fluffy and big I remember as a kid waiting for them to be ready was torture. I've asked her for the recipe like 10 times and keep forgetting it
>>21657379My mother's "cooking" consisted of putting frozen food in the oven or boiling pasta, luckily I had a dad that actually made things from scratch.
>>21657465100% I'm glad I'm not the only one. This phenomenon needs to be recorded
>>21657379but why would I miss it?I still enjoy her lovely tasty cooking every day :)
>>21657379me and my brother visit my mom every other week or so and she cooks for us. it's nice.
>>21660865
>>21659562>he still can't think of an actual comebacksorry we have moms that can actually cook
>>21659639May is better than that sassy little brat.
>>21657379Mom's cooking is good, but mine's better.
>>21657379I miss how I felt about it growing up. I thought she was a really good cook but now that I do my own cooking I realize she is not. That, or maybe she has started not giving a fuck now that her sons have moved out because my dad will eat anything. Sometimes I tell her what I am making and she will excitedly tell me about something she made the night before that sounds like absolute shit
>>21658311The quality of produce is a huge part of it, I despise the people of CA but they grow the best vegetables in the country. Farmer's markets here are few and far between, and even the stuff on offer there is mid quality at best and way overpriced. That said I enjoy not getting stabbed or locked up for being a white male, so I can't go back to the Bay.
>>21657399As other anons have said, don't lump us who didn't grow up poor and with shitty cooks as parents in with your own sob story. Life isn't fair, and sorry you got the shit end of the stick and your father left you and your mother alone in poverty. Glad it wasn't my life.
>>21657379What cartoon is this from?
