I am reminded of a story if 3 mountain men who had a deal, whoever complained about the cooking was the next one to have to cook until someone else complained... one if the mountain men had been cooking every night fir a month straight and the others had started teasing him about it.
One day he decided he would show them and he went out and got some moose poop and mixed it in with dinner. He served it and the men sat down to eat. Almost immediately one of them stood up yelling "this tastes like moose poop... but it sure is good!"
Don't complain unless you want to take over.
LOL that is awesome
Hell yes I would! Wouldn't want him to think it was good and I liked it or it could become a regular menu item.

No that is cruel. I'll just show lots of appreciation, and maybe that will inspire them to cook better next time
you're too nice!
No! But I might say, "That was pretty good, but t might be even better if the next time, you cooked the pasta a lttle less" or something like that.
There's a lot of ways to tell someone they need to improve their cooking skills.
1. Blunt honesty with a good ending. Tell them in the nicest way possible that you didn't like the food, what it was lacking, and tell them that you didn't enjoy it, but you would enjoy a different meal that they're better at.
2. Tell her how you like food to be made. Dont say anything negative about the food, just go along and say its nice. Then make time to watch an episode of the Food Channel with her. After the judges give their takes on the meals, discuss with her which meals u liked and why u liked them. Tell them how u liked your meals growing up and ask her how her meals were made growing up. Finish the conversation by saying you would like it a lot if she made meals in the way you like, so u can enjoy it.
3. Play the early dinner game. Depending on how stubborn she is, she might not care how u want her to cook the food, maybe she's just bad at cooking, or maybe she thinks u just need to get used to her style. Either way, you never like her cooking. So, while you're at work, text her and tell her that you're eating out somewhere because you're starving and u won't make it home to eat. If she's smart, she'll get the hint eventually.
4. Add sauce or salt or pepper to the meal before u eat. Garnish it or something.
There's a lot of other ways. I just named 4. U can get creative and think of your own way, but don't let it slide and not say anything because it will become a bigger problem the more u ignore it
Honesty is the best policy. Lying just to not hurt their feelings or giving some empty platitudes could prolong the issue. They might keep doing it the same way they did it before and do it more often... the 'nice' lie only exacerbates the real issue that they cook like shit.
"Lying just not to hurt their feelings..."
That's right, Klaus was lying down to avoid getting the feeling after which he's always too hurt.
I was a fool who loved to peep,
As Greta Thunberg pegged Klaus Schwab deep.
I longed for my wish to come true,
So I searched for a prayer that would do.
I stumbled upon a special technique,
That promised to make my dream complete.
I gave it a go, unsure if it’d work,
But to my surprise, it did with a jerk!
Now I’m forever grateful, you see,
To the prayer that fulfilled my fantasy.
I may be a cuck, but I’m oh so happy,
Thanks to this prayer that was oh so nappy!
@Perverted_creep 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 thank you for sharing that!
I would tell her that the recipe needs work. I've said that to my wife multiple times when she tried to make something different. If it's not good after the third try I just tell her to skip it and find something different to try. She doesn't get upset.
Of course. I would pack it in some Gordon Ramsay joke and deliver it with devilish smirk on my face.
Honesty is important but the fun is priceless.
I'm always very honest so I'll say it lol. I wouldn't be mean like saying that the food is horrible, but I'd honestly let them know what I think could have been done differently.
I would try hard to fake it and then tell them later how bad it actually was. Like once they were a good cook.
No , I'd cop it , and encourage them to continue " trail and error " as thats all cooking really is , you learn as you go via experience.
yeah I would tell them but I would think we’d have a dynamic where they wouldn’t be hurt by it as I wouldn’t be intending to insult them. also I can barely cook myself!
I would just accept their offering and maybe next time ask her to help with the cooking at my place. Maybe some of it would rub off.
Absolutely. I would also demand sex immediately as reparation. Otherwise what the point? Perhaps that's why nobody likes me.
ha Ha Ha
Not necessarily tell them.. But might point out how things could be done better for next time and/or give suggestions in a funny way 🥰
I’d tell them what i liked and didn't like, bt that i still appreciated the gesture... constructive criticism
I didn't like it the first time he cooked for me, I'm always brutally honest but I just couldn't tell him I didn't enjoy it. I told him I liked it since I understood he was nervous, the second time he cooked for me was delicious.
I had a date cook for me on one of our first dates and it did not go well. I was polite about it and didn’t tell her it was bad but I always prefer to cook my own meals anyway so it was not a dealbreaker.
Yeah but kindly and also thanking him for the cooking
Your such a sweaty hart!!
I'll try to kindly tell them that it's not the best meal I ever had but I'll also try to find the reason why first before complaining.
depends on how terrible terrible is. are we talking so terrible flies will avoid it or just terrible enough that its barely eddible (if you really force yourself) ?
mind you i would still try to find a way to tell them but try not being too blunt with it either. maybe give it some extra time before telling her something like "hey renember when you fixed/made (such and such food) , yeah please dont do that again. though i appreciate the effort it turned out bad, real bad."
Yes. Otherwise I'm setting myself up to eat terrible food from that point onward!
