/ck/ - Food & Cooking

maybe you just outgrew your autism

or salt and butter

Your mom is either the shittiest cook known to human kind, or you're just a child.

Probably a combination of both. Post your picture OP, I bet you're a real winner.

Your parents did a shitty job of bringing you up to be an adult, you spent too many years being a kid, welcome to adulthood.

Growing up, mashed potatoes and corn always tasted like the blandest shit to me. I could never understand why anyone like it. I would always be content with just having meat and that's it.

I talked to my aunt about it, and I guess my mom just used instant mash and canned corn. My aunt used, y'know, actual potatoes and corn she cut off the cob. They both tasted so fucking good. I asked for the leftovers and have been eating the fuck out of them since.

I feel like I'm missing out on a lot more.

I used to be picky as a child
I sorta grew out of it throughout high school
I still refuse to eat mushrooms though

>long as fuck greentext stories about nothing

I don't care about your shitty boring life OP.

My girlfriends mother would turn all vegetables into a pure, like literally everything, imagine being a kid and being served up a slop of carrots and brocli. Of course because of this i have spent the last several years slowly convincing my traumatized girlfriend that vegetables taste good when they are not made by a complete fucking retard.

Yep, your mum is a shit cook m8. I honestly believe that 99% of the time, if a person doesn't like something it's because they've never had it cooked well. Most people are shitty cooks.

>>6901929
You're a good man. Your girlfriend is very lucky.

I'm gonna ask my aunt a bit about cooking and see what all I've been missing out on.

>>6901932
I figured. I love my mom a lot, but the only food she seems to put any effort into is baking. Everything she bakes tastes really good, but everything else she seems to just take the cheap and easy route with.

My mothers cooking is so bad that I almost ended up in hospital because I was so underweight when I was ~5yo

>>6901888

>be an adult now

eh

>>6902068
Every single asshole white kid with bad parents you mean

>>6901888
well bro, that's what you get for being closed-minded and assuming shit. now you've learned, congrats on growing up!

>>6901888
Yeah shit happens, shitty cooking skills parents can ruin your relation to ingredients or food in general.
My dad is retired now but still a chef, i've grown up eating all sorts of things cooked nicely and served properly, looking tasty.

No one from my family ended up as a picky eater but my little brother, but he was adopted at the age of 4 from India and he really can't get into some ingredients like most white flesh fishes and cheeses (also cheese will make him literally shit himself).

>>6902068
Only for lower-middle class white kids

Are you somehow implying that mininiggers and minispics are well-behaved?

>>6902358
This.

>>6901888
I was never a picky eater but a lot of the food my mother cooked was absolute shit, i realized this when i moved out at 18 years of age and started cooking for myself.

Same as in your story i usually went straight for the meat because, surprise surprise, vegetables are bland and boring pieces of shit if they're just cooked in plain water.

Lots of hate in this thread

I'm the same as OP except with a different issue. I don't want to avoid vegetables (and fruit) so hard, but whenever I bite into them, the texture makes me gag instantly. No matter what the fruit or vegetable is. It's been like this since I almost choked to death on a grape when I was 4 (lol) or so I am told

When there's no textural issues (ie mashed potatoes) there is no problem but everything else is instant gag reflex. I've tried a billion times about a million different ways, no progress.

Even if I'm really high and try to eat vegetables on a pizza.. No dice. That was my most recent attempt. I like the smell of supreme pizza but I've never actually tasted it. One bite in and I thought I was set. Feeling confident, I take a large bite, crunch a piece of pepper, and nearly vomit

How do I get past this

>the only food she seems to put any effort into is baking

I noticed this with a lot of women, why the fuck is that?

>>6901888
Happens to a lot of people
Used to hate most vegetables because the only way us Amerifats ever prepare them is by steaming them after they've been frozen and having them plain.
Buying fresh and adding spices make everything better

Go to craigslist and put up an add on the men looking for men section, offering to suck the cock of anyone that's interested. Enough big cock and your gag reflex will be tamed.
It worked for me.
I'm not gay, by the way. Just got tired of being called a picky eater.

>>6902400
Gotcha. Made my ad and I already got an appointment for tonight, thanks anon

It wasn't until I was 18 when I realised that steak could be something other than tough, dry, and flavourless.

>>6902461
Best of luck, friendo.

>but the only food she seems to put any effort into is baking.
Haha my mom's the same way, she has a madeleine tray and a macaron tray but not even basic spices like cayenne or oregano.

>>6902400

I hated a lot of shit as a kid

Majority of veggies, baked beans, other shit I can't remember. I think I even didn't like cheese.

You grow out of it mostly.

>>6901888
Mashed potatoes and corn are like two things that picky eaters actually like though

When I was little I only ate "white" foods: rice, pasta with butter, etc. They told me I held up a big family dinner because there wasn't anything I would eat.
I grew out of it and I now eat and cook whatever seems interesting to me.

My mom was a good cook
My dad was a decent cook
My entire family is fairly good at cooking

My mom also grew up as an air force brat so we would go out to eat at a bunch of different restaunts and tried just about everything

Made me not picky at all when it comes to food

>>6901903
>blandest shit
>>6901892
was right, salt and butter makes the world go round
