> being this critical about food someone else is grateful enough to serve you because they presumably like you

If you pay for it, sure, criticize all you like, but getting upset at the way a friend cooks for you is stupid.

As someone who often cooks for friends, I wish people would be straight-up honest with their commentary about my cooking. How am I supposed to improve if everyone is lying to be polite?

[Anonymous No.6271808]

>>6271801

I think you're in the minority though. Most people don't really want to hear critiques when serving food for their friends.

>it isn't taken out of the water just 30 seconds before the al dente time so it can finish cooking in the pan with the sauce to absorb flavour.

People who do not sautee their pastas are plebs. There are some exceptions to this rule, like carbonara or cacio and pepe but ayy lmao.

I fucking hate this shit. My first girlfriend did that where she would just take out the pasta, put sauce on it, and there'd be like a puddle of water/sauce underneath everything by the time she served me it.

this board gets really butthurt about two things

A. calling other peoples food shitty, which makes me think this board is full of people who know their food isn't good but try to cook for people anyway

B. saying your moms cooking was bad, which makes me think this board is full of girls

[Anonymous No.6273629]

My moms cooking was bad

> sauce packet or hunt's can

My grandmother (dads mom) is a whop and she slows cooks pork sauce and it is so yummy. also the sauce is brown and thick and full of mushrooms.

I actually don't like al dente, everyone has different taste and like different textures.
Al dente really annoys me. I always cook it 1-2 minutes more, and then it's freakin good.
I fucking HATE people like you being elitist about fucking PASTA.
I ate pasta all my childhood and still now because no money, so I fucking know how I like my pasta

Wait, you don't have to put it in the fridge after you open the seal?
It's what my parents did, so I do it.
If I don't have to I'm putting that shit in the cabinet.

[Anonymous No.6273899]

Growing up I thought that my mom was this gourmet chef who could cook anything and always knew exactly what to do with just about every kind of food.

Now that I've spent a year cooking for myself and watching chefs give tutorials online, whenever I go home I realize that my mom really isn't that great of a cook. Kind of sucks. On the plus side my parents are always blown away by the food that I make.

I feel you there. If I am over at a friend's house and they're cooking, I'm always a little hesitant. But as long as it looks like they put in some minimal effort and the kitchen isn't a total disaster, I'm open to trying whatever they make. Like, I can always go get some fast food later if I don't like it.

Can we all agree that cooking pasta the way it says on the packaging is the only correct way and that any non-believers should be put to death?
