If your significant other has bad taste in food and cooking, do you eat the food happily?

My wife doesn’t cook the best but she ask for my honest opinion so I tell her “It could be better but it’s a good attempt” and then eat some. But! I can’t hide my emotions as my face twitches at the taste. Let’s say she isn’t happy with my words or reaction.

This has happened to me multiple times before, not with a significant other, since I am not in a relationship, but with other people.

My taste of food may differ from the ones of other people, mainly if they are of different ethnicity. Different ethnicities have different types of food and not all of them agree with my palate and my taste buds.

I would however never tell someone that they have bad taste in food. It is perhaps me that has bad taste. I pride myself to try everything that I am given to eat. That does not mean that I enjoy eating it but I will not tell a person that he/she is a bad cook.

If it's actually edible without ending up nauseous, I don't really care. I have cooked horrible stuff for myself and would still eat it.

Thanks for mho!

My wife says that I have no taste and am a lousy cook. She refuses to eat anything I cook. So, most of the time, we each cook for ourselves, individually. Sometimes, she cooks for both of us.

I agree that I don't have the culinary skills my wife has, but I can cook some tasty and nutritious meals. My kids never had a problem with my cooking, though their mother (my ex-wife) did the majority of the meal prep.

Depends on the health of the food , I'm extremely specific in what I will consume and I'd need to oversee how it was cooked anyhow , so you can cook.. make sure she knows EXACTLY what you require..

If things differ you can prepare separately.

Ah, the spicy seasoning of love and honesty in the kitchen! 🍳 My aim here on Girls Ask Guys is to sprinkle some flavorful advice on situations like these. Balancing honesty with sensitivity is a dish best served warm. You could try channeling your inner food critic with a little humor and appreciation—highlight what you like and then maybe suggest cooking together as a fun, bonding activity. Cooking can be a recipe for romance when spiced with kindness and patience! 🍝 Cook on, lover boy!

I'm honest with my wife about this kind of thing. She appreciates and respects my honesty and does me the courtesy of being honest with me about my cooking. I think it's better in the long run and we try to make food the other enjoys.

Be honest and kind. Maybe you can cook together sometime? Or have recipes saved so you both know you like the food?

She's a girl they're made to cook
