/ck/ - Food & Cooking

yes

>>13427338
>My mom makes stews and the like, I hate stew. Stew is the absolute worst.

>>13427338
Boomer patriarchy, not even memeing. But my mom is actually a really fucking good cook, I feel she's the main reason why I am quite an asshole to people that make crappy and bland food.

>>13427356

Her food isn't bland, it's just not correct. For here bolognese the flavours are fines it is not supposed to be watery though. There is not supposed to be a broth when finished.

>>13427338

It's like the shitty town you grew up in, familiarity. That's it. Nostalgia. Nostalgia is big business. Selling something that makes someone feel home again. My parents cooking was awful, gruesomely abysmal, but I crave it every Christmas I fly back home to spend time with them.

>>13427338
What kind of a tastelet "hates all stew?" There are so many different foods that fall under the definition of a stew. Everything from chili to curry to gumbo and on and on.

>>13427370
Really?

I generally don't like anything served at Christmas...turkey is fine on a sandwich. But I'm fine with eating all that food only once a year.

beep boop DAE not understand why maternal affection is endearing, fellow humans

>>13427384

Ok right right, I get it. Its a cooking style. I find it not be refined that's all. everything ends up overcooked.

>>13427389
You sound like a picky underage faggot.

>>13427389
Don’t cook it as long then

>>13427391
no...also "curry"? do you eat that on chips too? What the fuck is curry?

>>13427338
Shut the fuck up and eat your mom's cooking you absolute faggot trash.

>>13427387

My family doesn't make ham or turkey. They make lasagna, salads, meat trays, loads of oil and bread, and cartocci for dessert. Always cartocci. The only good things are the ones my Grandmother cooks, but she's 92 and wheelchair bound , so my mother has been butchering her recipes for a decade now. Awful, but I love it at the same time.

>>13427396
>What the fuck is curry?

lmfao. This tastelet doesn't even know what curry is. /ck/ in a nutshell, everyone.

>>13427399
obviously italian

>>13427388
This, fucking autists I swear to God

>>13427404
No no I KNOW what curry is, it's a not a fucking stew. So please tell me what "curry" is.

>>13427405

From Cento, yes.

>>13427412
>No no I KNOW what curry is, it's a not a fucking stew.
Yes it is. You're a retard. You'd have to be literally autistic to attempt to differentiate the two (which you are judging by your infantile taste in food).

Not everyone was cursed with a mother who doesn't know how to cook. You just got unlucky.

>>13427412
one example:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_curry

> A typical curry from the Indian subcontinent consists of chicken stewed in an onion- and tomato-based sauce, flavoured with ginger, garlic, tomato puree, chilli peppers and a variety of spices, often including turmeric, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom and so on.
>consists of chicken stewed

OP, you ought to be happy that you have not one but two loving parents that take the time out of their busy lives to make sure you have a hot, home-cooked meal at night.

>>13427447
ok I will.

>>13427389
>I find it not be refined that's all. everything ends up overcooked.

>>13427503
if you like stew you have objectively bad taste. it's all overcooked peasant slop cooked by retards that don't understand how inelegant it is.

>>13427338
My mom is shit at cooking. Her mother was also shit at cooking. She always fucks with recipes replacing ingredients with other ingredients, especially to make it less fat, ruining the taste. She's also bad at portioning and not burning things.
My dad is a far better cook, but his mother is also a better cook and he has two brothers who are professional chefs.

>>13427414
I read a great hmanga about one of those things.

>>13427338
my grandmother was a great cook. my mom is not. my mom thinks that because my grandmother was a great cook, and she is the child of that woman, she is inherently a great cook.

my dad is an engineer and enjoys executing processes. when i was a kid he mostly fixed cheese sandwiches, pancakes or just sausages and onions, but used to clip recipes from magazines and papers and make them just for fun on his off days and then apply what he learned from trying different ingredients and techniques to daily cooking, and became a good cook, which to this day my mom calls him a faggot for it's great i'm glad they divorced and my mom lives in a shelter and my dad has a lovely new family with new kids 18 years my junior so i can just mail them presents and not give a fuck about starting a family of my own thanks for reading my blog

>>13427521
If you can't make good stew then you're bad a cooking and calling it inelegant because you suck at it is rationalization and nothing more.

>>13427521
>I can't tell if bait or underaged faggot that unironically refers to himself as a foodie.

>when i was a kid he mostly fixed cheese sandwiches, pancakes or just sausages and onions, but used to clip recipes from magazines and papers and make them just for fun on his off days and then apply what he learned from trying different ingredients and techniques to daily cooking, and became a good cook,


Hey my dad did this too. He still does.

>>13427615
so glad i got a good dad man

My mom is a fantastic cook. She’s disabled now, so I cook all the food for our family, but it was her dream to become a professional chef, to go to culinary school. We used to go over recipes in a bunch of our cookbooks together and make these fantastic dinners together. She started teaching me at eight how to make basic stuff, like quick spaghetti, how to properly chop and dice an onion, how to hold a knife. It was something we bonded over. She would experiment and make her own recipes which were so fucking delicious. Terrible at writing them down though, lmao. Made a deep dish pizza one time that was godly, but didn’t write out measurements for the sauce. She made a cranberry glazed turkey one year that I still fantasize about every thanksgiving. Though the brine was full of stupid expensive ingredients. Can firmly say my mom was a fantastic cook. Dad is great at grilling and breakfast foods, but that’s about it. My grandma is not the best chef, but she made edible homecooking. Definitely not passionate about it.

>>13427338
>i can't understand what people mean because my own mom can't cook
Apparently she can't teach her children not to be fucking retards.

>>13427693
Good tragic backstory anon, I assume she is your inspiration to cook?

>>13427338
>she refuses to fix it because she thinks she is a great cook
women have no accountability so they never get better at anything
If your mom was a so so cook at 25 she will be the same at 60

It’s not romanticized for me; my mother couldn’t cook worth a damn, and my father was only slightly better. When I was old enough to not set fire to the house, I took the cooking duties away from him and learned how to really cook.

>>13427823
>>13427851

I love watching the people who will either die alone or die shooting up a school post here. You people need serious help. It's like watching beaten dogs snap at everything. You're creatures, you're not people at this point. You fuckers need to read about that directors kid that sounded exactly like your pathology.

>>13427862
My mom was any "out east" poverty cook. She could cook soup, stew, bird, any veg better than I could after a decade of cooking. But she always said to me "you're better at spices". What the fuck. She taught me how to make stock, chicken soup, stew, all the really important escoffier flavours. And I come in with my asian food and intimidate her. Silly shit. I still can't believe that parsnip and turnip are key to a good soup.

>>13427571

>Nooooooooooooooooooo don't say bad things about the good womenrinos!!

>>13428033
Yeah, don't look into it. Nothing is happening. Good German.

I always wonder if my mom and dad being mediocre cooks vs. the general norm is a city vs. rural thing, like a lot of politics these days. I can't imagine a parent being a "good cook," and every time I go see someone's family or travel with a girlfriend to have their parents' "amazing cooking," it's really nothing to be excited about.

I'm not a fantastic cook either. But I have no nostalgia about it, and I leave it to the professionals and my parents cook a decent meal a couple times a year. I like that I learned to not count on them in this case.

>>13428047
Nothing is happening to people worth caring about, yes.

OP here, remembered a story.

At work on Friday, my coworker was talking about how happy he was that his mother was visiting on the weekend because she was making her "special lasagna recipe". He talked about it at length and I told him lasagna is rather simple to make and I couldn't see it being that "special".

Today, he brought in lasagna for other coworkers and gave me 1/4 of a piece he gave them so that I would, "know why it is special".

It tasted like generic lasagna. He asked me how it tasted and had an almost triumphant expression. Knowing the answer, I asked him if she made her own sauce and pasta. He said no, but she spices and customizes it herself.

I then asked him how he considered it her "special recipe" when she basically assembled pre-made, store-bought ingredients. He tried to hide it, but it was obvious he was upset and realized that I had won this time. He avoided eye contact when he walked past my desk 10 minutes ago. I definitely won.

This experience has gotten me thinking: what do you consider home-made? Obviously I would not expect someone to grow and mill their own flour to make pasta, but there is an obvious medium between that and throwing together processed foods and calling it your "special recipe".

Discuss.

>>13428031

>she's the main reason why I am quite an asshole

why do I think you didn't need your Mom's help in this area?

>>13427338
>Why is mom's cooking so romanticized?
Because you usually grow up with it and it becomes a thing you think back on and associate with comfort as the food you became familiar with before anything else and were fed at a time when your life was being taken care of by someone else.
>but my Dad is wayyyyy better
A father's cooking isn't romanticized in the same way normally simply because it's much more common for your mom to cook, if you even had anyone cooking food at home when you were a kid at all. Your options are usually stay at home mom or both parents working. Stay at home dad is a lot less common. And dads that work don't have the same amount of time or willingness to cook, more often than not.

>>13427865
Were just memeing the whole time?
Youre not really a feminist right?

Did you even read the thread?

>>13427395
Wrong answer
>>13427389
Use more wine or add some spices and tomatoes. Use acid to keep everything from overcooking and season heavily for flavour.
If you've finished cooking a stew, you did it too quickly.

My mom was a terrible cook. I didn't realize it when I was a kid. Everyone just thought I was a picky eater, and I was punished for it. It wasn't until I moved out, poor, and started cooking for myself that I realized that my mom always overcooked everything, never used spices, and other sins. Her food was dry, hard, and bland, just like my cock.

>>13430550
>Keep everything from overcooking
Fuck that sounds retarded. I meant keep everything from getting too tough.

>>13427338
My mom does pasta in the same way. It's just boomer shit they learnt from their parents.
She still rinses pasta after I've shown her why to never do that. She thinks it 'stops it cooking' and wonders why the sauce never sticks like mine does.

>>13427338
About two generations ago parents knew what they were doing because their parents taught them; however, that generation didn't teach it to their kids. So, roughly 50 years ago, the adults grew up not knowing how to cook and going back to mom's cooking because it actually was better. Then, the meme perpetuated itself via them becoming grandmothers/fathers and them and their kind making media etc that pushed the idea because it was so ubiquitous.

>>13427338

That's about to be on Anon's sweater already.

My mom cooks one or two things great because she follows the recipe, everything else is terrible because she doesn't follow the recipe or likes to add to it.
She overcooks everything, she doesn't season, all her meats are well-done x10, it's awful.
For years I thought I hated vegetables, meatloaf, etc. until I was a teenager and cooked for myself. Meatloaf is fucking delicious when you cook it right, instead of dumping ground meat in a pile, cooking it, then slathering it in ketchup and saying it's a meal.

my mother is a terrible cook. This can be partly explained by the fact that she is vegetarian so she doesn't have "skin in the game" when cooking non vegetarian food. However, her vegetarian cooking is just as bad, so who knows, I guess she just doesn't care about taste.
My late grandmother on my father's side was a very good cook in the style of traditional western food, so I can understand why this meme exists, it's simply that the line was broken with my parents generation. Probably due to feminism or something.

>>13427370
I grew up in Africa. Goat whole roasted on a fire until the meat is basically charcoal is nostalgic for me.

If you're mom was a bad cook it means she didn't follow the stereotypical gender roles

Probably has a lot to do with why you're such bigots and want more traditional practices in play

>>13427693
how disabled is she that she can't cook even people in wheelchairs can cook

>>13427338
I went to christmas dinner and for one of the sides my mom dumped a frozen bag of mixed peas and veggies into boiling water and nothing else. I always hate mixed frozen veggies. I've never tried preparing them on my own since I always hated them so much.

>>13433732
Your points are logically inconsistent, almost like you are trying to craft a bait post but are literally too retarded to figure it out. Go on and head back to >>>/pol/ champ

>>13433772
It's true though.
Men are better cooks no question, but historically they're not the home cooks.
The reason "mom cooking" is as big a meme as it is was because mothers HAD to be the cooks there was no other choice under the older patriarchal systems

The fact that women would get beat just for dinner being late and now women aren't even decent at cooking just goes to show that women were only cooks because of older societal structures.

The people in this thread who express confusion for everyone talking about how their moms cooking was so good, yet their own mother was a terrible cook just goes to show the familial dynamic shift in more progressive areas.
I don't know why you think this is /pol/, it's a fact women were treated as homemakers, and that included cooking
