I would ask her to eat it and tell her what is good about it. If she insists it's good I'd bluntly tell her it isn't and offer for us to cook together. Then we can learn to make our favourite meals together. The top guy is a real sweetheart though.
If it's really bad, tell them but eat it anyway. If it's just somewhat bad, suggest maybe not using the same recipe next time. If it's just slightly bad, just thank them for cooking and eat.
Would still eat them. Been having stomach ache a few times since I got married but life feels so much better than before.
being all shy and saying it's delicious when it's not is cute when you are first dating but if your married or been together for any amount of time and are serious about each other then nobody has time for that. i would tell her the truth but sugarcoat it (i said be honest not stupid) then try to work something out. offer to do the cooking instead, offer to cook with her and give her tips while she's cooking (only do this is you know how to cook) or some other helpful situation and not something like "we'll get you lessons".
Break up before we even get to marriage. Hypothetically of course. Or at least threaten him into learning to cook simple dishes for himself. Being an unpaid maid to someone for life absolutely terrifies me as an idea, so there's no chance I'd get with a helpless man who can't cook a thing himself (or clean, or use the washing machine, etc). I have lots of lazy days where I don't cook and I'd rather kill than go cook especially for someone else while I'm not in the mood. Luckily, I'm aromantic + asexual and don't need to look for a partner, or else I'd be suffering from trying to compromise. I can be a happy hermit instead. Might get a cat eventually, when I learn to care about something other than myself. Would've preferred a dog, but the cleaning and walking...it's still like being a maid.
Commit seppuku because we're both horrible at cooking. On a serious note, it seems fun to learn cooking as bonding time.
man, it would be nice to have a partner to have that problem, that said I'll try to fix the food if it can be fixed, other wise I'm just gonna cook
eh, I'm neither aromantic nor asexual but I'm quite a happy hermit myself. I think there are just people who feel lonely more frequently and with more intensity than others. I might get one ping of loneliness a year at most (last time I felt it was a few years back). Hell, I went to college on the other side of my country (west coast USA to east coast), and didn't feel homesick at all. Also, 100% agree on this : "Might get a cat eventually, when I learn to care about something other than myself. Would've preferred a dog, but the cleaning and walking...it's still like being a maid."
When I first started dating my SO, he thought the way to thicken the sauce in his mac n cheese was to add more water. I was absolutely horrified. I'm not the best, but since moving with him, I'm showing him how to cook more decently. He can't seem to nail the perfect fall apart beef soup yet though.
There, problem solved. Luckily we don't live in the old days. Nowadays, you can get a bunch of decent premade frozen food to last ya a lifetime for only $2 or less per meal on sale.
