Who's a better cook
your mom or your dad?

[Anonymous No.12943835]

Your mom

[Anonymous No.12943840]

>>12943832
Me.

[Anonymous No.12943850]

My mom knows how to make more things but she has bottom-rung midwest technique of using powdered, pre-made, and canned ingredients whenever possible, as well as skipping steps and cutting out fat and salt whenever possible because it makes it healthier in her mind. Most things taste like shit though, she's not a very good cook and is constantly throwing shit fits because her gross food doesn't turn out right, without admitting or coming to terms with the fact that the recipe would work if she just follows the steps properly and stops putting her own stupid spin on it.

My dad doesn't really make anything but chili. It's a good chili though, no beans or tomato chunks.

My dad cooks good food but gets low points for creativity, my mom cooks shit food but gets points for trying ethnic shit I guess

[Anonymous No.12943856]

my mom. my dad makes weird shit for himself like lettuce and banana salads.

My dad was a better cook. He even had a pizzeria. I'm not a boomer, tho, he just died when I was 16.

This...

but definitely not my dad. He's more inventive when he's broke, but my mom makes better food.

>>12943840
Also this. He's a better cook than both of my parents

Gfs Mom > Me > gf > My Dad > Her Dad > My Mom

however my mom went keto a few years ago and I've never liked her cooking better (cause its just a pile of meat and cheese)

[Anonymous No.12943909]

My dad, and he's been dead for 4 years

[Anonymous No.12943948]

Depends

My dad can be very inventive and created his own versions of classic dishes that are amazing. Mom is more traditional, but her food is good.

According to my family, I'm the best cook. Even my mom is proud of me in that aspect.

My father, hands down. My mother was always good for some basic stuff. She made fried chicken, mashed potatoes and veggies really well. Spaghetti and meatballs, shit like that. But my dad made amazing shit on a regular basis, worked from fancy cookbooks, etc. I'm glad he helped me learn how to cook halfway decently, but he's still much better than I am.

[Anonymous No.12943957]

My dad is dead :(
My mom is a top tier chef

[Anonymous No.12944034]

My mom is pretty good, but not as good as a lot of my other family members who are fantastic cooks. My mother in law is pretty awful, everything from a box or a can and a bunch of boomer casseroles and marinates meat in fucking italian salad dressing. My dad does the dishes.

[Anonymous No.12944058]

>>12943832
Neither really. Mom's food is bland, greasy, and half raw (as a vegan), and dad's is 80% ground beef with no seasoning.
I do my own cooking, and now dad eats why I make. This makes me think that food quality is not as relative or opinion based as many people think. I think there might be difinitive, or at least narrower, standards.

My mom worked all the time and didn’t cook much. My dad tried to cook but his food always tasted bad and bland and not right. He’s dead now. My wife is a great cook though so I’m making up for it now.

[Anonymous No.12944071]

My ma, my pops refuses to eat vegetables and his palette for food is comparable to a toddler, which automatically disqualifies him from consideration. Classic boomer palette. To his credit he's better than my ma at BBQ, which isn't surprising.

[Anonymous No.12944077]

>>12944071
Palate.

Why is this so hard for /ck/ to get right

[Anonymous No.12944096]

>>12943832
my mom has made a few good dishes but my dad is more creative. My dad just makes stuff like curry, kugelis cause "muh lithuanian heritage", decent spaghetti with sausage, basic chicken breasts with lemon pepper, ribs, pulled beef cheeks and beef heart stew. I want him to learn how to do more stuff but hes usually busy with work to try and lern new stuff.
I like his chicken better than grandpas chicken since grandpas chicken always comes out dry.

My mom is more adventurous and my dad has a baby palate. It wasn't until my parents started dating that my dad was willing to eat a mushroom. Both are decent cooks, but even things which are mediocre still taste good.

Neither. I can cook great but my parents will eat the food I make and then get mad at me for complaining I'm hungry since they only stock the fridge with junk food.

Mom died a couple years ago and dad is an enfeebled alzheimers clown. When they were functioning they cooked damn good midwestern style foods. Mom made excellent pies cakes and cookies but only for holidays. Fruit was the normal dessert. Not surprisingly, none of us kids are fat.

[Anonymous No.12944419]

My dad just wants to grill

[Anonymous No.12944519]

my dad can barely cook from a recipe
my mom can sorta cook, she's just sticks to stuff that she knows or else it turns to shit

Dead to you or literally dicking dirt?

[Anonymous No.12945763]

Mom makes some pretty good food, dad is just an insane drunken autist who burns 50% of what he grills.

[Anonymous No.12945768]

my mom was a great cook

[Anonymous No.12945786]

My dad for sure. Great BBQ and regular cooking. We basically always had some sort of awesome BBQ ever week from pulled pork, brisket, ribs, etc. When he'd work normal food it was also pretty great but not as good as his BBQ but he was a lot more comfortable around a grill and had a better understanding of the cooking process and building taste.

My mom tried her best but her techniques were mediocre at best and she never wanted to use fresh ingredients always canned/packaged shit (pre minced garlic... need I say more?) but the food was always good and tasty enough.

>cutting out fat and salt whenever possible because it makes it healthier in her mind
It doesn't in your mind lol?

my dad used to love to cook, my mom mostly did the cooking until she died. my dad hasn't cooked for a long time and I mostly just cook taco meat

[Anonymous No.12946526]

My mom was amazing at cooking, and my father was amazing at baking. I somehow managed to get decent at both
I just wish I'd write down more of their recipes before it was too late

[Anonymous No.12946534]

dad
>learned all of his recipes from camping alone in the desert and the Amazon for decades
>tries to apply them to an induction stove
>goes wild when I make a sandwich using warm toasted ingredients instead of cold slabs of meat and cheese

mom
>has 100 classic recipe books and 7 binders of article clippings and family recipes assembled over generations
>repeats the same three recipes for all of her meals using prepackaged knorr spice blends and expired ingredients
>goes wild when I apply an egg wash on something

I'm handing it to Dad even though Mom has more wisewoman technical knowledge (that she never uses).

[Anonymous No.12946782]

>>12943850
Your mom might be my mom.
She knows the techniques and can make good food if she tries but she's a very lazy chef, if it can be made in the microwave she'll just do that.
Same with making "health conscious" food that tastes bland as fuck without even being all that much healthier.

[Anonymous No.12946868]

My old man is way better than my mom
My mom makes the same 2 fucking italian meme dishes (lasagna, spaghetti)
She hates the taste of oregano, basil, thyme, and rosemary so they're all just okay
My dad has a way bigger repertoire and has even prepared both dishes far better than she has
He taught me how to cook
One of these days I'm gonna be better than he is

[Anonymous No.12947069]

Dad was experimental but made good food from where he came from but he's dead. But mum remembers a lot of recipes and has a variety

[Anonymous No.12947088]

>>12943832
They're both pretty mediocre. My father worked in a flyover state kitchen as a young adult and likes "fancy food" as a flyover state person thinks of fancy food. My mother is Puerto Rican and sometimes cooks half-decent stuff, but she relies on using Sazon seasoning packets for everything instead of actually bringing together fresh herbs and spices. Also she overcooks the shit out of everything, I think because she grew up a chicken chaser and is paranoid that "undercooked" food is gonna make her sick. Likes her eggs cooked until they're rubber, likes pork chops dry as shit, won't end meat that is any rarer than medium-well.

>Dad always mashes up everything together, also likes to substitute with things that don't fit in just because of convenience
>Mom's too conservative with the flavours, also likes to take shortcuts that mpre often than not throws off the dish

my mother, but she is a capid cunt and the family refuses to talk to her anymore.

also my dad died of dementia 4 years ago.

He doesn't, he said his mom does.
And the two recipes she makes don't include any of those herbs.

My mom is a classically trained chef. I'm pretty sure my dad wouldn't even know how to fry an egg.

[Anonymous No.12947312]

I believe cooking skill is genetic. My father is proof enough of that. Started cooking in his late 60s. Never cooked before. Never read a recipe or watched a cooking show in his life. Can cook and bake all the normal home style food. Does everything by feel. All turns out great.

Either cooking is genetic or he had some past experience he is hiding from us.

My mum is a better cook, but she's lazy and rarely bothers.
My dad is ok, but not at all adventurous.

my mom for sure. Dad just grills really. I don't like everything mom makes but she still makes most things very very good.

My mother. I don’t think my dad made so much as a sammich for me. My mum was a superb cook, though. My grandmother on her side, too. She was actually the first fully qualified female chef in South Africa. Not a big deal now but it was then.
