/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I would tell them it's their fault for eating it.

>>18196626
why didn't you tell him it was bad?

>>18196642
Imagine knowing me and not realising that everything I attempt is doomed to fail.

>>18196623
It's okay, neither do I half of the time.

Depends on what they are saying. If they don't like my cooking because they are a picky eater or just don't like the type of food I cook, then I will ignore them. If they are someone I respect and it's valid criticism I might take it into consideration the next time I cook.

>>18196623
I would become belligerent and throw things. Probably go outside and sever the internet cable.

>>18196623
Apologize, explain that I'm not very experienced and ask if they have any suggestions as to how I could improve.

>>18196623
>hey thanks, I appreciate the honest feedback. Do you have any tips that you think may improve the dish? Since you're a michelin chef apparently you FUCKING FAGGOT

If it was a dish they'd never had before and didn't like it then I'd understand. But to flatout say they didn't like my cooking would either mean they're a basic bitch or a really great cook.

Most people eat corn syrup pig slop and love it. I would ignore it.

>>18196985
>your cooking fails to be as good as the slop you mentioned
>ignore it
You might want to reassess.

Ask if there's anything else I can make them, or invite them to raid my fridge and pantry. The purpose of cooking is to feed people, not to show off your skills.

DAMN YE

Chris Benoit flew in for a surprise visit and cooked his family a nice meal. His wife of 14 years told him she didn't like his cooking, and asked why they couldn't have just went out to eat. You see how that ended up.

Be bold. Be daring. Be like Chris.

I would tell them that they're fond of me lobster. I've seen it

>>18196623
>How would you react if someone told you they don't like your cooking?
more for me. also the only people who ever rejected food I made, either couldn't handle spice, or were actually boarder line retarded.

It was a misunderstanding, his lobster was good

Ask what they didn't like about it and how I could improve, if it's reasonable then I take it into account

I'd take it as a sign they were trying to offend me so as to get out of being invited to future dinners, and that it would be rude of me to continue inviting them. but I wouldn't take it too personally

>>18196623
Learning experience but I also would not plan to make any changes to my cooking because I cook for three people regularly and we all think it's fine.
I think as far as home cooking goes you're always going to meet someone who won't like it. In my case I've had relatives whose taste buds have been ruined by fast food who would never be able to enjoy most of my cooking, or simply don't like the cuisine at all. I'd be willing to cater to them in some situations but I'm definitely not changing my usual.

>>18196682
Posts like this are why i'm gunna be here forever.

>>18196623
I simply tell them that it's my first time using my own supply from my own cum jars.
If they know a better way to prepare it I am all ears.

>>18196623
whenever someone doesn't like my cooking it's always because they hate coriander or fish or something, so I'd make a note about their dietary requirements but otherwise ignore them.

>>18196623
theyre probably 3 years old then so id fuck their mom to get even.

>>18196623
Yes, most likely..

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRK

>>18196623
Get the hell out of my house you damn freeloader. Stop stealing my fucking food. It isn't for you.

I'd probably attack them with nearby blunt implements and then never talk to them again for the rest of my life

>>18196623
>hey man, your food sucks, it has mushrooms
ignore
>nii-san, did you know that you can get crispier roasted potatoes by putting the empty baking trays in the oven while it's preheating?
learn and improve

>>18196623
if its because they hate something then ok and dont use it

otherwise

you don't actually believe this. you don't actually think this way. right?

Ask them to tell me what i could have done better.
If the answer is productive I comply. If the answer obviously judgmental and condescending never cook for the ungrateful fucks again.

>>18196623
>Would you get defensive or use it as a learning experience?
I'd get defensive.
Never tell someone that you don't like their cooking unless you paid for it.
You can offer suggestions, mention other similar dishes or techniques, and dance around the topic a million different ways. But you never tell them you don't like it.

The only people who get iffy with my cooking are picky eaters, I will accommodate their tastes but I view them as children. One's palate can be used easily to judge their mental state. Oh, It's only nachos, tendies, and alcohol? You're a lazy manchild.

I once made a pumpkin ale for a friend's Halloween party. Even grew the pumpkins myself for it
A "friend" of mine poured himself a glass and said:
"Oh hey, pumpkin ale! I know what do with this!".

And then he poured it down the sink right in front of me.
The only reason I restrained myself from killing him on the spot was that I'm pretty sure he legitimately has learning disabilities and just imitates what he sees online.

If youre not happy with constructive criticism you need to learn reflecting on yourslef. People help you improve by giving their honest opinions

The virgin pumpkin ale maker vs. the chad IRL troll

I've brought my food to potlucks and not put my name on it and it has always been a hit, to the point of people asking around for a recipe, so I would simply ignore the one tastelet.

The sensible thing to do would be to put on a hockey mask and skin them alive.
