/ck/ - Food & Cooking

What is your most depressing memory about food that you can remember?

Growing up, my family was poor. Also, my mom was terrible at cooking and portioning. Therefore, anytime she would make burgers for us, the beef patties would shrink from being over cooked and would end up being half the size of the bun.

I loved those things because when you're a kid, burgers don't happen every day- so when burger day does come around, it doesn't matter that your mom tried to split 1lb of cheap ground beef between the whole family. You just slathered that fucker in ketchup and asked for seconds.

I love my mom. It was her terrible cooking skills that inspired me to get into food and cooking because i knew there was more to the world than just salty overcooked beans and horrible wrecked pork chops.
