Alex C, I cook OK - but if my husband or someone else follows the same recipe, it still tastes better than when I make it It must be magic. Because you can't cook. Because I am the most pathetic cook ever thats why three of my sons are all chefs I feel the same way! I'm a fairly decent cook, but by the time I fix it and clean up all the mess, I don't want any. b/c in your mind your thinking that some one else put in the work to prepare this food so you going to like it more. b/c u know some one put in the effort to feed u. its not so much that it tastes better because someone else made it, its because when you are cooking you smell all of it and by the time you get to eat your own food it doesnt taste as well. but i bet others who werent in the kitchen with you think it tastes good. You must not be the best cook then. I much prefer to eat my own cooking than eat out at a restaurant. I have seen those teenagers cooking in the back kitchen at most "high" scale restaurants....no thanks, My food is better, much much better.
Now convience is a totally different story. Based on the ability to sit down and eat a meal and get up and leave the mess, now that is more than worth it when I am feeling lazy. But as for taste, no way! I love to cook, and am very good, but I certainly enjoy the heck out of it when someone else does all the cooking, especially my mother-in-law who's an excellent cook. I think it can taste better sometimes because I get to relax and enjoy it, rather than doing all the work.
I won't say every food tastes better when someone else makes it though. Her macaroni and cheese is too dry, and her stuffing is made with cornbread, which I don't like. I like my sage stuffing much better. Mayb u feel different taste or u never try it before.Goo luck n enjoy ur foods. :D
