    Watching this brings tears to Ai-chan's eyes. Such loving couple. Wish Ai-chan could've cooked so badly and still receive praise from husband instead of being asked, "Did you have a fever while making this?"

    What would you do if you are in the same situation?

    I mean, he can't really complain after she gave birth to 6 children for him. :blobpeek:

    eat it unless it is absolutely unpalatable and would make me sick. at future times, make cooking a 'couples time' so i can try and subtly guide her to improve her cooking by doing it with her.

    Indeed, that's a lot of hard work.

    Doing it with her? While cooking? Sabruness is pretty kinky!

    :blobcheeky::blobrofl: You know what i mean. I'd cook with her and try to work out where she goes wrong then help her correct it. At worst case, i'd only give minor criticisms and downplay how bad it is then segue into the mentioned cooking plan. of course, if she really feels down about it by herself then, yes, plan P is an option.

    honestly, NUF needs SH's 'likes' reactions added because they're too useful.

    tell her its very bad, then encourage her to work on it.

    claiming its good when it is terrible is a wicked thing to do. It's an uncharitable lie that won't help her at all. I don't think its loving at all to pretend to like it. and if you feel like you have to, your relationship might have deeper issues.

    as for the video... i think the guys perspective is a bit off, but he's obviously all heart. what a trooper

    I can't judge her, cause I can't at least cook for myself. I can only hope she will learn to cook deliciously before I die of food poisoning.:sweating_profusely:

    I would eat it.
    Than say something like “That’s pretty good”. While trying to seem like it’s really good.
    The things we do for the women we love.
    That includes mother’s, grandmother, sisters, cousins, in-laws and friends.

    Free food is always good food; even if it tastes like dog shit.

    Also, only say the foods bad if that person wants to pursue a career in cooking.

    Depends why she's cooking for me to begin with. I'd prefer to steer our norms to where she doesn't cook for me though, as I like simple meals anyways. Living with bad cooking is nothing new to me(mom's experimental dishes were pretty horrifying), but living with great cooking wouldn't add much to my life either. Even now, my normal meal when I'm not eating out is just rice, kimchi, seaweed, and some meat.

    Well I'd rather be honest. Can't have her explore and achieve strange palate where they're at odd with others.

    I'd practice with her every day until she can cook something she is satisfied with. As child from two professional chefs and a cook myself, one must have patience with those learning.

    Aww, that video was so heartwarming, it made me smile. I think I'd say something along the lines of, "I like it! But I like [ __ ] better."

    in our house, we have a different set of standard when it came to food made by family
    so so food = not good but not unpalatable
    good food = average food
    very good food = average homecooked meal
