They can't.

I read such horrors on food threads.

Either courgettes and mushrooms mixed in a worthy mushy horror.

OR jars, and packets.

Horrible. So. Much. Horrible. Foood.

So because you see bad food posted on the internet that means the majority of people can’t cook?

OkOkOkOkOkOk · 26/11/2022 00:28

You do you, and maybe they are happy doing them.....

ErrolTheDragon · 26/11/2022 00:28

Nah.
Most people don't post about the food they make.

YANBU OP

But they call themselves 'foodies' 😂

ImNotEntirelySureAboutThat · 26/11/2022 00:29

Oh goodness me OP, I know exactly what you mean. I went to my friend's house for lunch yesterday and she had the nerve to tell me that the bread was 'homebaked'. She had used PACKET FLOUR! Now to me, proper flour should be ground at home using organic wheat and a 500 year old pounding stone. And as for the cheese, it was SHOP BOUGHT! She hadn't even milked her own goat. Needless to say, I declined the offer of a cup of tea.

"Most people"? Most people as in most of the people in the world? Your town? Your family?
Have you eaten my food? I hardly ever use jars or packets.

Tell me about it.

You have eaten food made by most of the planet's population???

I mean, if you're including your average 6 year old in that, then you are right. Most people can't cook.

Most adult people who have the responsibility of feeding themselves, either learn to cook, or get by with the "jars and packets" you're so sniffy about. Nowt wrong with that. I am going to bet there might be things you're not good at, and that is fine. Doesn't mean other people can sneer at you...

StrawberrySquash · 26/11/2022 00:36

This is just a ploy to get a dinner invitation to mine. I'm not falling for it!

MintJulia · 26/11/2022 00:36

And what makes you the judge?

Most people cook what they and their families like. Your views are irrelevant.

2000lightyearsaway123 · 26/11/2022 00:37

Would it not be more reasonable to say that most people can't cook to your tastes?

Everyone's taste is different and something not being to yours doesn't make it bad.

EmmiJay · 26/11/2022 00:38

I see some people on social media "cooking" and just🤮 Also, I hate the amount of food waste I see when people put together these pasta, marshmallow, chocolate, bacon, cheeto, whatever concoctions just for views and likes!

xsquared · 26/11/2022 00:38

OP also thinks most people dress boringly.

I get the impression that op doesn't have a high opinion of most people.

🤣
If cheese hasn't been milked by hand, then I don't want to know.

ImNotEntirelySureAboutThat · 26/11/2022 00:39

@xsquared I actually quite like people.

I don't think I understand this thread.

What do you mean when you say you've eaten "most people's food"?
Surely you can only have eaten the food cooked by your own family and friends?

I'm a fairly decent cook. Not fancy/posh in any way, but I generally cook nice food from scratch five nights a week.
I'd say most of my friends will be the same.

ErrolTheDragon · 26/11/2022 00:42

You greedy so and so.

Well, nothing's disappeared from my fridge so I don't think you've eaten mine yet.

ImNotEntirelySureAboutThat · 26/11/2022 00:42

'nice food from scratch five nights a week.

What do you cook?
