/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I love my mom for actually cooking for me when I was young instead of just feeding me freezer slop, but now that I've been cooking for myself for half a decade now, there's so much shit that I enjoy that I used to hate because my mom cooked it wrong.

>all meats cooked to a crisp
>store made burgers that turn into hockey pucks
>everything extremely undersalted
>store bought sauce
>preshredded cheese
>seasoning added onto food at the dinner table, not when it was being cooked leading to everything being bland
>not tossing the pasta noodles in the sauce before serving
>vegetables that were cooked poorly and underseasoned

Hell, I still can't even eat pork chops because of the scarring induced by my mom who would cook them to 200 F and then slather on some HFCS BBQ sauce after pulling them off the grill.

I realize now that my siblings put ketchup on everything because it was needed to add moisture back to the food to make it edible.

Her and my cooking have both improved a lot since those days though, and I'm appreciative that she did all that hard work for me regardless.
