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.

I can cook Hmm

OP also thinks most people dress boringly.

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

I can cook in exciting dresses

Nuh uh. Op said you can't. Why would a troll op lie to me?

SandyY2K · 26/11/2022 01:07

Most people I know can cook well...tbh, apart from my own food, I eat my sisters food... and they can both cook.

My SIL can't... not at all.

ilovesooty · 26/11/2022 01:08

Awaits the OP's next threads :
Most people sit very boringly on the bus
Most people have very boring parties
Most people dress their children very boringly
Most people choose very boring dog breeds to look like them and walk them boringly

I bet your MIL can't cook either 😆

CallieQ · 26/11/2022 01:09

Boring is as boring does

RobertaFirmino · 26/11/2022 01:10

What's your signature dish anyway OP? A tenner says it's cod...

Imissmybabygirl · 26/11/2022 01:10

May be you have different taste to most people, just saying 😉

My mum only likes her own food.

joan12 · 26/11/2022 01:11

Hello my Mum!

We can't go out for dinner with my mum, because she can cook everything on the menu better than a restaurant chef.

The really sad thing is that it's true.

We never really had family meals growing up because she was so busy and stressed cooking amazing, and yes, really amazing food.

So I'm glad to serve up a homemade one pot paella etc and actually have a relationship with my children.

Each to their own.

Bouledeneige · 26/11/2022 01:04

So OP do tell. What do you cook that is so accomplished?

OP cooks meth.

With aubergine.

ilovesooty · 26/11/2022 01:12

It's probably turnip done 18 ways or torched haybox food like the shite on Masterchef this evening.

To be fair, certainly not boring

It's lush, you should try it.

melmos · 26/11/2022 01:34

@BertaHoonYou say that but her ket

melmos · 26/11/2022 01:35

Post fail meant to say is from a packet 😂

Kanaloa · 26/11/2022 01:36

I cooked quorn dinosaurs, chips, and mixed veg for tea tonight. It was delish. Oven chips as well because I had no potatoes in. And frozen veg out of a big bag. Om nom nom.

BertaHoon · 26/11/2022 01:37

melmos · 26/11/2022 01:34

@BertaHoonYou say that but her ket

Now you're talking! Ket and carrot purée.

To die for.

I'm quite simple myself. I'm happy with a smack potato. Either or.

melmos · 26/11/2022 01:41

@BertaHoon perfect Sunday roast packet bisto, aunt Betty potatoes and a side of gear - just sets you up for the week ahead!

MrsFezziwig · 26/11/2022 01:41

ImNotEntirelySureAboutThat · 26/11/2022 00:49

Most people are average.

Fact.

Well that’s the very definition of average.

I love the way you announce it as though you’ve just discovered the secret of the universe and are graciously bestowing the knowledge on us mere mortals.

Notcontent · 26/11/2022 01:43

Well - I think it is probably true that a lot of people can’t really cook very well.

Kitkatcatflap · 26/11/2022 01:46

No one goes on to Rate My Plate for the food, you go on Rate My Plate for the insults

Dollydea · 26/11/2022 01:51

Depends on what you like to eat doesn't it?

My worst nightmare would be to come home from work each night to a plate of Michelin star quality dinner. I wouldn't enjoy it and I'd be hungry again after an hour.
I also wouldn't like to eat a frozen ready meal for tea either.

Give me home cooked comfort food any day and I'll be happy... chilli con carne, toad in the hole, chicken curry, Spag Bol, Cheese and Onion pie etc.
Wouldn't say I'm a foodie or even a good cook but I think I can cook hearty meals that cater for my own families taste buds and also fill them up.

Smileandtheworldsmileswithyou · 26/11/2022 01:51

This isn’t a real thread, it’s clearly a complete wind up to annoy people and watch them bite. Stop giving them what they want and just ignore.

Brokendaughter · 26/11/2022 01:51

And how do you rate your own cooking @ImNotEntirelySureAboutThat ?

Do you consider yourself a good cook?

I would define you as a horrible cook who produces inedible muck if you use any number of common everyday ingredients that I personally don't like.

Doesn't mean it's true that the majority would agree though, because it's all down to personal taste.
