Have you ever pretended to like someone’s cooking? What was it?

Very often growing up like when I stayed at a friend's house and didn't like the dinner. In Japan we are taught to eat every last grain of rice in the bowl even if we hate it and say it's delicious and thank the person for the meal.

I forgot exactly what meals I disliked so much, just that I ate everything down to the last grain of rice and still thanked them for the meal as a boy.

One I do remember vividly is that when I went to the US, my American grandmother thought I was so thin (she was a rather heavy woman). So she gave me an entire plate full of the greasiest bacon, like compared to Japan, maybe 20 times the servings of bacon that a normal Japanese would eat at once. I started eating it, but in the middle of eating it, I had to secretly run to the toilet and vomit because it made me feel so sick. I then ate the rest and thanked her for the meal but I was so sick for the entire day.

Nowadays I'm no longer a picky eater though. I can like just about anything and if I don't initially, I reframe the way I think so that I can like the taste after changing the way I think about it.

I dont pretend to like it. But I don't say anything mean either, I just tell them I am not very hungry or that I don't eat that particular food which is true because most of the time I don't like some specific foods others cook, therefore I don't even try the cooking.

When I was in high school I had gone to my friend's house to hang out & fix his mom's computer. I was there all day, & that night his mom made supper to thank me for helping her. It was really good, & I told them all how much I liked it. Her computer was always having problems because she would download those virus-laden screensavers & I had to go fix it pretty often. Well, every time after that first time when she made food it was really boring & bland, but I couldn't bring myself to say anything because I had kind of established thst I liked her food. Plus, it would be rude to say I didn't like it. I felt bad because it was never very good after that first time. So I always pretended that it was great but inside I was like "bleh!".

I have never had to yet. But I'm a polite person who wouldn't tell you even if it was horrible. My brother once when just first for married was eating a meal his wife made. He started first and she tried it and she said it was horrible she screwed something up. She took the plate away from my brother asked why he would eat it with it being so bad. I know I would do the same exact thing.

Yeah my sister in law, she’s a good cook but she did this recipe one time and so messed it up, it was really not great but we all said we enjoyed it. Then politely offered suggestions later in the day.

Yes, with every woman I've ever dated who tried to cook. I never criticized because at least they were trying. Many women today don't even try. I applaud the ones who do, because they are at least trying and they can improve if they work at it. But women who cook well are largely extinct

HawkPerception · Answer

I don't ever pretend, but let's just say I find it hard to finish food I don't like and never go for seconds 😂

I have. My old best friend made chocolate meatballs. Was so bad and she kept giving me more because other people weren’t eating them. I just really didn’t have the heart

Staximus · Answer

When I lived with my friends and their daughter, the daughter was learning to bake and would make terrible baked goods. Cookies, muffins, brownies, banana bread, etc. Nobody wanted to eat them but I would so she wasn't sad.

More times than I could count with a fucking abacus. MMM yes this turkey is totally moist and plucked all the way through! That's not a feather, it's a toothpick!

JacobJordan · Answer

Nope. It is more disrespectful to lie to someone about food being good when it wasn't.

Summeroflove · Answer

I do my best to be honest. Not in a asshole way. But it’s best not to lie. You can say nothing… Remember that. But don’t lie.

FightingDwyer · Answer

Yeah, my mother's cooking. Her mashed potatoes and gravy are ghastly. But a good son is just gonna man up and eat it and tell her it's delicious.
