Just a handful of things I haven't figured out how to replicate, like her spring rolls. They took her two days to make and would puff when fried.

LOL no both of my parents were terrible cooks. It's mainly why I got interested in cooking myself. By high school I was making the lion's share of dinners in the house.

no.my mother and her lazy cheap welfare cooking is why I no longer eat shepherds pie, or spaghetti. it was why I took over most of the cooking in my teens.the only people I know who miss mommies cooking are "men" who never learned to cook, and don't know what good food actually is.

yes before my father lost his taste buds and got addicted to sugar. now my mother cooks to his taste. once in a while for family gatherings she cooks normally and it's good

there was nothing my mother ever made that was memorable or extremely good. it was ok at best, if anything it inspired me that I could do better, and have.My mother-in-law was not much better, the one things she make that was good was thanksgiving and christmas dinner. she also made the best cookies ever.My dad cooked better than my mother but even his food was mediocre to what I make for myself.the last time I thought my moms food was good, I was probably 10. The same for my dad. they divorced when I was 12 and he went away, and my mothers food went to shit.

Yes, but the sad part is that my mother is still alive. She had a debilitating illness some years ago, but mostly made a full recovery. However, in her older age, her cooking skills have declined severely. She used to be renowned as the greatest cook in my extended family, but now sometimes I have to pretend to enjoy her slop. Everything she cooks with is from a can or a bag, almost nothing from scratch. And it's almost like she can't tell or taste when things are done. A lot of time we'll have lasagna or something and it won't be fully puffed up because it wasn't cooked long enough at a high enough temperature.If ever try to kindly point any of this out she bursts into tears. Aging is so hard bros

>Do (You) miss your mother's cooking?
Not anymore. When I was young and just getting out on my own I did miss it. But it was a comfort thing. I'm 40 now and have my own family. Everything my mom used to cook which I thought was good, I learned and made my own through improvements and alterations based on what my family likes.

Anon10/14/25, 21:06No.21657506
She made a few things that I do look back at with nostalgia and would still devour with impunity, even if on a strict culinary level they wouldn't be any good. She tried making nutritious things for me when I was younger, but it was never to my tastes, though I am thankful that she was conscientious of wanting to feed me nurtritious things, and I really should thank her for that. Cooking was never really a passion for her, but she does still try new things for people here and there on special occasions.

My mom tries but she's not very good at cooking. She always brags about not needing to use measurements and then afterwards unironically complains about her own food having either way too much or too little salt.

Fuck no, she's an anti-salt health freak boomer with no knife technique and who's too stubborn to not cook every single thing on a high flame so most of what she makes is giant blocks of inconsistently cooked completely flavorless vegetables

No. Two memorable dishes from my childhood:
"White Trash"- cook ground beef in a skillet, add ranch style beans, serve with kraft mac n cheese
Chicken spaghetti: boil the hell out of chicken in unseasoned/unsalted water, discard water, shred chicken. Mix boiled chicken shreds, cream of mushroom soup, a can of rotel and put into a baking dish, top with shredded cheddar cheese, bake.
The white trash wasn't that bad even though kraft sucks. I wouldn't ever make it again. Chicken spaghetti was awful though.
We also had stuff that was fine like spaghetti with jarred tomato sauce added to skillet cooked ground beef and white people tacos using seasoning packets. Still nothing really worth missing though.
My parents are better cooks nowadays.

Anon10/15/25, 02:23No.21658002
I lived with a single alcoholic mom because courts hate dads. She had her flaws but she made the best porkchops and mac&cheese. It wasn't even a complicated crust on the chops, just black pepper and salt and maybe some garlic powder, and the mac was kraft. But it was amazing, especially with a dab of ranch and an episode of the Simpsons on the tv. And then I'd go play Rollercoaster Tycoon or Spy Fox on the computer. I miss these simple things. She made good homemade dumpling soup too.
I also learned how to turn a stove burner off because she passed out drunk one night when I was 7 and she left it on.
Anyway, call your mom anon, they're not long for this world.

No. She's still alive and makes a fine Thanksgiving dinner, but she rarely actually cooked. My dad can cook, but also didn't do it often. Almost nothing ever required a knife or prep work beforehand.There's some things I have a weird old affinity for. She used to make "chicken surprise," which was just chicken breast, cream of mushroom soup, and white rice, just basically thrown into the oven.

Anon10/15/25, 03:25No.21658108
I'll say this, my dad had more cooking disasters than my mom. One was his american version of "bangers and mash". the peas were from a frozen bag and soggy and not flavorful, the mashed potatoes were from a bag and he managed to fuck that up, and the sausages were just crap.
Then another day he attempted ribs. He marinated them over the course of a day and then threw them on the grill for too long. They were basically blackened charcoal at the end of the process. We still joke about the Rib Chips.

Sometimes, though mostly what I miss is living with people who eat vegetables, it's hard to keep the stuff for great salads on hand in quantities one burned out person will consume. That said I cannot replicate her butternut squash soup, and the quality of produce where she lives is just better than anything around here.

Yeah. Growing up I always considered it kinda boring/took it for granted but in hindsight I can see her meals were healthy and had lots of nutrition. I learned later that she used to cook for people on ranches... lots of meat and potatoes, veggies. Also different kinds of stews, salmon, stir fry. The meals tended to be very well balanced. Whenever I get to eat her cooking I feel strong afterward.My dad can't cook crap for himself and was a serious asshole about forcing her to cook all the meals.

I visit my parents every week and my mom cooks for us. She's good at cooking and I learned a lot of the basics from her, then started doing my own thing when I moved out. She freely admits that I make some things better, and sometimes I will cook for us.I bet I will miss it once she's gone, though, and I'm afraid of it.

my mother has been gone for about 10 months now. Most of what she made was simple stuff, some boxed, some canned, some homemade (she would spend all day on a ragu, or a soup, or chicken and dumplings) and she had a recipie box full of stuff from her mom, her husband's (not my dad's) mom. There was one casserole she'd call mexican casserole that i fucking loved when i was a lad. But most of the time, i just miss her in the kitchen. Because she'd go "hey, Brian, help me peel potatoes" or have me pick up her pot of boling water to dump it because i'm over a foot taller and she was also my mom and could just tell me to do things. I miss talking to her about what was for dinner, or what she was doing because when i was a kid i didn't live with her until my dad got too abusive. And really, i just miss my mom, anons.
