Do you eat burnt food just because the person you love made it?

Question

I didn't want to eat because my girlfriend burned the food she made and she got offended at me. If it were you, would you eat a burnt meal just because the person you love made it? Is she right? Should I appologize her?

No, I would not eat it. If she got offended she will just have to get offended. As an aside I have discovered many people cook with heat settings way too high. People won't know unless you tell them. A person may get offended but over time will come to see you were in fact doing them a solid by bringing up the overcooked food. I have a friend who was married to a female that hated black pepper. Would not have it in her home. Over time I stopped accepting dinner invites. Finally, I was asked why, I said because I enjoy pepper on some of my foods. I am not going to bring my own pepper to a dinner party. Over time I was finally told she has a pepper shaker on the table. When I am cooking I attempt to be sensitive to my guests. I will not serve jello to an Islamic person. In fact, I will not have pork on the table at all. Right now devout Catholics are in LENT. This coming weekend I have a dinner party planned. A couple is observing LENT. I am planning a meatless soup for that night for them.

As someone said earlier, it’s the thought that counts.

If my fiancée did that, I’d eat it anyway (or at least the less burnt parts) to show her I appreciate the gesture and that I appreciate her.

Some other time, I can find some time to cook together, to both spend some quality time together and show her how I’d cook the same dish, or a similar dish, and maybe squeeze in a subtle cooking lesson here or there.

I’ve done that before, cooking and showing her my recipes and methodology and why I do what I do.

It works like a charm. 🙂

It would depend on how burnt it was. My kids complain if there is a dark tan spot on their toast, "It's burrrrrrrnt!"

If we're talking charcoal, I'd hug and kiss and smile and say thank you and not eat it.

Bad move my guy.
If your girl makes you food, you eat it and tell her it's the best thing ever. Even if it's trash.
If she continually fucks up the same dish over and over, just hint to her that you're hungry for something else before she makes it lol

I grew up in a family where we always critique each other’s cooking to be better…it works out really well…

I do the same with my hubby…he is not offended…we are doing so much better with communication that helps with cooking yummy foods and having a better life together.

LittleSally · Answer

Depends on how burnt it is. But if you really can't eat it, then that's just the way it is. As long as you showed appreciation for her effort, all is well. :) Maybe next time you can cook together.

jshm2 · Answer

Obviously not. But you should smile and thank them for it, regardless, and just say we'll order takeout instead.  Just because you love them, doesn't mean you must suffer a stomach ache for them.

I have many times. My girlfriend is a terrible cook. She wants to be good and she's really trying to learn, but like most women today she never learned before she started dating. I am a much better cook so I do a lot of the cooking, but she really wants to learn so I support her and don't make her feel bad when she burns something or it doesn't taste good.

I am not picky with food, so it needs to really bad burned for me to not eat what is eatable. Ie you can always remove the worst. Unrelated to my feelings of the cook.

I ate my sister's burnt oatmeal cookies once, but I liked eating it, so I guess that's different.

AviatorTom · Answer

Depends how badly burnt it is. So long as it's reasonably edible, I'd eat it. Otherwise, we'd order pizza.

Apple1996 · Answer

Yes I will suck it up and at least take a few bites so they aren't upset

Quackthulu2 · Answer

What? No. I eat burnt food because I am too broke to waste the ingredients.

AnusNdaPainus · Answer

I feel like if I eat your entire meal and it was disgusting I reserve the right to harshly criticize trust me she would’ve been way more pissed if you ate it then said it was gross

Jamie05rhs · Answer

She had no right to be offended. That was immature. If you fuck up, you fuck up. Own it. If it was me cooking and I had burned the food, I would have apologized and remade it.

AdithyaR · Answer
