Is it only the men who enjoy their mothers cooking?..

Fart

I always hear guys saying that they can't get better than their mothers cooking. My dad has always said this about his mother (my granny of course) and he says it to me to saying "Your mothers cooking eh?.. ya can't beat it".

I've never heard a girl saying it as much so is it just a guy thing and do you agree with this phrase?

I do, but I don't know why as she's not the greatest cook in the world but its something that she give... is it love?

Does anyone here agree or share some similar stories?

Nope not every man loves their mothers cooking.

I remember the first time I ordered steak in a restaurant I left the place thinking "oh THAT's what it's supposed to taste like?!".

My Mammy is the best cook in the world!

Fart

Of course I've been to restaurants and had food there and it's usually amazing but there's nothing better coming home to mammy and her having a nice little pie made or some sort of stew or even a few chicken nuggets and chips with a bit of ketchup. It doesn't have to be extravagant as along as she makes it.

I love my mom's cooking. Lots of very unique family recipes that I am now in possession of, and quite adept at.

Wouldn't suit everyone though, I don't think.. took me being an adult to appreciate my mom's food.

I'm a better cook than my mother, but I'm also sinfully lazy, so I prefer when she cooks and cleans up the dishes and so on...

I dont think theres a man alive that enjoys my mothers cooking!

I hate my mothers cooking and I'm a lad.

The first experience of food we get is usually from our mothers, so its natural to assume that we are predisposed to liking it. You could start a car on me mother's beef stew. Great stuff

My mother is a great cook but she's getting lazy. Her mash is terrible these days, doesn't half mash it and the spuds aren't even peeled right.
Then if I point out the flaws in her cooking she gets angry.
I've even had to make my own dinner a couple of times

No one can beat my mam's bread and butter pudding,and pancakes too.(not at the same time)

Other than that,i can take it or leave it.

No, girls should never say they enjoy their mothers cooking, for they must try harder to top it for when their sons come along.

Minstrel27

My mother is an awesome cook in fairness.

Nope, I enjoy the wife's too.

It's best to frequently allude to the excellence of your mother's cooking to your partner and vice-versa in order to initiate a territorial cook-off with you as beneficiary.

That's not on. Tell her to get back in the kitchen when wimmin belong. That said, my mum can cook... sort of. At least we're not eating leathery grey pork chops any more.


Shameful when women can't cook*

*I'm biased, my girlfriend is a chef, so I have to criticize the food I cook.

Abi

Nope, can't beat her cooking. The kitchen is her domain, and nobody is allowed to be a better cook than her. She point blank refuses to eat anything anyone else makes.

I make a legendary bread and butter pudding, it would make you cream yourself :pac:

You could use my mother's bread pudding to grout the bathroom, but you can't beat her skirt and kidney stew

Every family's got a skeleton in the cupboard.

When I was a kid I adored my mothers cooking but then as I got older and learned how to cook for myself I realised that she was/is actually a pretty crap cook. So yes, it is mostly those lads who cant cook that love their ma's cooking.

Berty

My Mother cooks quite well but of course she does. Im always going to say that.

My MIL cannot cook for sh*t. I asked her one day why she only used one tablet from the marrowfat peas box and she said "Sure when Im cooking them tomorrow I will use the other tablet when cooking". I tried to tell her what was wrong with this but it went in one ear and out the other so I try not to eat in her house.

She once tried to make me pork chops and had never in her 65 years cooked a white meat and cooked it and cooked it until it went brown. :rolleyes:

My OH only cooks two things. Lasagne and Roast Potatos. :rolleyes: I have to cook everything else.

consultech

eh ha. Um no, it's not only the men who do. Some women probably have a harder time admitting that they enjoy their mother's cooking, or think they could do better themselves. Possibly due to an innate homemaker competitive/inferiority thingy in some cases.

In any case, my mother's cooking is fairly hit n miss, so I don't really conform to the original statement.

LenaClaire

My mom is a good cook and her mother was phenomenal! I like to think I am a pretty good cook myself - my husband seems to think so at any rate

I make roast chicken and potatoes, stir fry, chicken with mushrooms and wine sauce, cakes and candies. I like cooking.

galwayrush

I like my moms cooking , but my wife's is way better.

Tar.Aldarion

No, I'ma better cook than mine or any of your respective mothers. Still, one favours their mothers cuisine due to nostalgia and her cooking things you like from you growing you, creatures of habit, eat something a good few times and that's the way you want it exactly.

My Dad is a savage cook. When i go home for dinner on sundays we get the full monty (ok not my da strippin)

Last week it was prawn cocktail, steak and onions and angel delight (80s fav in our gaff)..oh oh..tea and bickies afterwards....4 course wooo! My Dads cookin rules

Had nada today cos had a fight with my sister and left before i got any of it

Latchy

My mother was a fantasic cook , she made the best home made brown bread , apples pie ,Lemon meringue pie and the smell of home cooking was always waffing though our house . Good memories

I dont know why this got so many thanks? Is EVERYONE eating at Slashers house these days???

My mam is a good cook. The bolognese is the best but theres a few dishes she 's exceptional at cooking. Thing is, she cooks to please - so its always what I want. How could I complain?
