Have you traveled much?

 

[Kurt Angle]

South Florida

no wonder the epitome of food for you is mickeyDs and Wendy's

your food is as shallow as your basketball fan base

 

[JadedWriter]

Uh I've had tons of people cook for me and I've never been wowed or craved it after like the rest of the people I'm eating with so drop that theory yall. I just want some Wendy's every night and McD every day

Your kidneys, heart and toilet must hate you. I love home made food. I hate paying more for stuff I can make better myself.

 

[DOWN]

Lol guys I'm not overweight. Like I said in the OP, I don't get to eat out as much as I desire.

Have you traveled much?

A bunch of US states, Canada, England, Denmark, Bahamas. The restaurants were better cooks than any homes we visited.

 

[PillarEN]

OP did you not have any parents or grandparents or any other relatives that knew/know how to cook? Restaurants are great but the idea that food cooked by non-proffesionals is almost always bad is rather surprising.

 

[Icon1c]

You must be fat :S

thats a little weird, maybe your taste buds are warped or something. try a month of homemade food and see how you feel afterwards.

 

[CMojicaAce]

My mom's cooking is the best. I'd never replace it with fast food.

 

[Husker86]

I'm pretty sure that it comes down to seasoning and stuff. I mean, I cook most of my meals, but I won't say they are amazing. That's because I'm lazy and won't buy all the little ingredients to make it have that bursting flavor.

My chicken and rice is: Chicken with some Costco seasoning and...rice. That's it.

Spoiler

actually I recently started baking the chicken with some olive oil over it and that improved it quite a bit

But yeah, I get what you're saying in a sense, and again, I'm pretty sure it comes down to seasoning and things of that nature.

My Dad's home cooking...now that is some good shit. But he spends a lot of time and uses a lot of ingredients.

 

[xxracerxx]

Eating out has its place, but I love home cooked meals. Tonight I am going over to a friend's house to eat some homemade Thai food. Cannot wait.

 

[yongeandcollege]

I love going to restaurants, but homemade food can be excellent, cheaper and is generally better for you.

 

[Apt101]

I was the same way until I met a girl who could cook, and really cook well. After that I learned cooking basics. Now I prefer homemade for dishes that I have experience making. Some things though I still go out for. Things I can't cook, like most Korean dishes, or just this bomb-ass shepard's pie a place makes down the street.

 

[brianjones]

im w/ you OP i wish i was rich and could eat out all the time

 

[entremet]

Cuban food is really good, though.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Not only is home cook food is more healthier it's also cheaper than getting fast food.

Seriously OP learn to cook or you're gonna get fat and develop health problems.

 

[Goreomedy]

im w/ you OP i wish i was rich and could eat out all the time

What if you become so rich that you have a personal chef... at home?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

What if you become so rich that you have a personal chef... at home?

We've come full circle.

 

[brianjones]

What if you become so rich that you have a personal chef... at home?

that would work as well

i think it'd be different if i had someone to share the cooking process and meals with

cooking for 1 is hella sad

 

[Valnen]

What if you become so rich that you have a personal chef... at home?

Can I send out the chef to pick up some Subway?

 

[Mighty Chin]

When you cook as good as I do, homemade is the only way.

 

[tirminyl]

Homemade. Sure there was a good stint where I ate out a lot but once I saw how much I was actually spending eating out, I stopped that immediately.

 

[yongeandcollege]

What if you become so rich that you have a personal chef... at home?

Perfect, but they have to do the grocery shopping too.

 

[TheKaeptain]

No it is not. I just had steak and lobster tail. It was delicious.

 

[Log4Girlz]

At home I just take generous amounts of salt and msg and roll them into balls of lard and I swear its just like take out. Its quite popular in the neighborhood in fact.

I've installed a drive-thru.

 

[kagamin]

I guess I'm lucky my parents taught me how to cook as I was growing up, I love to make simple stuff though

Spoiler

cause I'm lazy

[joe2187]

Cuban food is really good, though.

My man.

Cuban food is godlike.

It may not look like much, but I practically worship Bistec Empanizado with black beans and white rice. Or Arroz Con pollo, papa rellenas, carne guisado, and basically everything.

The best thing about cuban food is that it's all really really easy and simple to make. I make a fresh batch of sofritto every week.

I'm Cuban. I've had several central Americans tell me they love it too



Some guy here on GAF said it was the plainest ethnic food. I think I was able to kill him with my mind.

 

[PaperFlame]

That's weird, my homemade food tastes like it came from a 5 star restaurant...

 

[inm8num2]

Eating out is enjoyable once in awhile, but I much prefer homemade. I know what's in the food I make.

 

[shadowkat]

Homemade. I like eating out but I also love to cook. I don't think I could handle eating out every day.

 

[Nosgotham]

if you do it right homemade tastes much better than most restaurants

 

[commedieu]

what about mexican..?

 

[Indicate]

Homemade if I cook it. I like to know what goes inside my food and it's usually cheaper. However, it's a hit or a miss for food made by someone else.

Spoiler

OP is just a bad cook.

Well...im puerto rican and grew up with cuban/rican/caribbean food so I'm pretty biased to begin with. My grandma taught me how to cook, so from her I learned everything about cuban/puerto rican food and why it's the best in the world.

 

[bobawesome]

Eating out can be good but I wouldn't want it all the time.

Your one-liners are the best.

If by best, you mean terrible, I agree wholeheartedly. He's like blamespace lite.

The beautiful thing is that you don't actually need lots of ingredients to make good food. I mostly make food with only salt, pepper, and sugar. The rest comes from fresh ingredients unless I'm making curry or something. Then I use curry powder.

 

[way more]

you can throw random ingredients in a slow cooker and come up with food better than a lot of restaurants.

This right here. I've yet to have slow cooker chicken divan at any restaurant that is better than mine.

I should become a restaurant cook I'm so good at it. You just have to plan ahead.

I've made amazing meals just using salt, pepper, and sugar.

 

[diggmcbadass]

I don't like my homemade food most of the time. Something about the cooking process puts me off. I usually like my own leftovers better than the initial meal though.

 

[Crud]

I can't relate.

OP needs to git gud at life.

You never cease to not make me laugh.

You just need to visit more homes.

[Indicate]

I love to cook. It's therapeutic.

It is unless you're trying to beat the clock to prepare meals for guests that are coming over. I feel like I'm on Chopped.

 

[kitchenmotors]

DOWN, don't you go to the gym? I'm sad to think you're wasting your time there when you're not getting the proper nutrition during the day. I knew you liked McDonald's, but I didn't know it was this bad.

You still freeze your bags of spaghetti sauce?

 

[dluu13]

I just get them to help or I chat with them while I cook.

My brother fries up huge batches of fried rice and then freezes them. Apparently they thaw well.

 

[FTF]

That just means you haven't had good homemade food.

aaaand /thread

 

[unholyrevenger72]

Ewww just salt, pepper and sugar. There's no actual food.

 

[Zoned]

If you prefer trash like McD over home cooked meals then you have some serious problems.

 

[Austriacus]

I have a personal chef and still order food from time to time. Sometimes you just want that shit in your system
