Mother's Home Cooking

Degag · 05-02-2010 09:00PM #1

Yeah, everyone's heard this expression but is it actually true?

Is your mother a good cook?

My mother must be the worst cook in the world... Every type of meat or fish horribly overcooked. Veg overcooked. Tinned beans or peas with every meal whether it goes or not....

Lol, i remember one time i was cooking a piece of salmon and she says that it will be undercooked because i only had it in the pan for a few minutes. I said that's the way i like it. She said that i'd get food poisoning..... i opened the fridge and pointed to the pack of sliced smoked salmon and said "how come you don't get food poisoning from eating that so?" Apparently there was some difference between the two:rolleyes:

Nobody beats my Mams cooking and I mean it.

Yup my Mam was a cook and a damn good one at that. My ex's mother on the other hand. Burnt even veg, how the hell do you burn veg?

My mum's an amazing cook! Stews, lasagna, pies, roasts, curries - you name it! And, she didn't learn it from Jamie or Nigella or even Darina - she got her cooking skills from her own mum, an equally excellent cook. Sadly, I'm the generation that's breaking the tradition. I can follow a recipe, but I don't have my mum's flair.

My ma is a deadly cook.. She has always been brilliant at cooking and baking. She makes a mean lasagne and her tea brack is the best around! I've never known anyone who's mammy can't cook. I thought it was supposed to come with the territory!

I wanted to ask my missus her view on this sexist question....... But she was too busy doing the cooking.

Saibh · 05-02-2010 09:08PM

My mam was a good cook also good at baking - brown bread, apple tarts etc

alwaysadub · 05-02-2010 09:09PM

No one can beat my mam's bread and butter pudding. I won't eat it anywhere else now cos of the disappointment.
Oh and she makes mean pancakes too-Pancake Tuesday in our house is a huge event!

my mam was the best cook in finglas, i used to have a house full of friends, i thaught i was sooo popular, turned out it was my mams cooking, i was shattered

I_am_Jebus · 05-02-2010 09:20PM

Yep, mammy's a great cook indeed... cannot beat her home cooking, especially on the 'oul sunday. Although, to be fair to him, my dad's a super cook as well.

Haha odd. My nana was from Finglas & she was an awesome cook, so she always had people over for dinner!
My own mam, is also an excellent cook. Even basic food, just better cos it's made by her!

I cannot cook very well... But I shall learn!

phasers · 05-02-2010 09:27PM

My Mam and Dad are both amazing cooks. Mam bakes, Dad does the savoury stuff, they can both do the in betweeny stuff

My mammy's a great cook!:D The Sunday Roast is definitely something I look forward to and her baking is brilliant too!
My dad usually cooks steak,mash and veg when my mum's out which is awesome too!:)
I think I'm pretty good at cooking, in Home ec anyway, except I'm really clumsy..... I broke a plate during my cookery practical in Junior Cert!:o

Is it just me, or does that seem wrong somehow?

Elliemental · 05-02-2010 09:59PM

My mothers cooking would be crap now, she's been dead for two years, but yes, in life her cooking was superb. I've never been able cook my the same dishes she did, and get it to taste the same. Why is that!?:mad:

psycho-hope · 05-02-2010 10:03PM

nope my mum is a rubbish cook, she hates it so dosent see the point

rainbowdrop · 05-02-2010 10:04PM

My Mam can't cook, and now I'm a Mammy and I can't cook either!!

It must be hereditary.....

:rolleyes:

mud · 05-02-2010 10:06PM

My ma's a fairly ****e cook, Da does a nice roast.

I'm a 'mazin' cook :pac:

It must skip a generation.

Mammys cooking is amazing. So is the Mammy in law!

I can cook basic things... spag bol, lasagne... steak etc. My mam makes amazing chicken wings marinaded in brown sugar and soy sauce they are the yummiest everrr

Bonito · 05-02-2010 10:13PM

Best cooks I know are me and my grandad :cool:

whatdoicare · 05-02-2010 10:17PM

My mam was pretty hit and miss with the cooking- she cooks a fab turkey at x-mas but hands out steak that you could fix yr shoe with- fabulous spag bolognaise but a really nasty lasagne with a rubbery top and watery base. She boils all veg to death and then george foreman grills beautiful burgers! Makes no sense but there you go, maybe she learned some stuff off her mam and just chanced the rest?
(she also makes nummy choccy cake.......and god awful scones!)

My mother burns water when she puts on the kettle, easily the worst cook ever.

My wife is the 2nd worst
