Do you feel unhappy when people doesn't like your cooking?

I don't like to cook so much but when i cook i pretend to know if my cooking are appreciated or not by my guests! I think that the problem is that people don't tell you if your cooking is bad. It's a question of politeness. Therefore the right way to know if your cooking is ok is to cook for your parents. The are so sincere, too much sometimes.. When my parents tell me my cooking is not good i'm so sad!

I am the type of person that if I eat at someone elses house you are to eat everything on your plate whether you like it or not. Most of the time at my house when company comes to eat they dish up themselves to avoid them having to eat something that they do not like. It does not hurt my feelings if they choose not to eat something, I try to remember that everyone has their own tastes and dislikes. My sister in law for example does not eat meat anymore so therefore she wont eat it if I cook it. But she will just eat extra of the vegetables and that.

That way some people are really arrogant and rude, somehow from very childhood my parents have taught me to respect food. Before eating we always thank god for our meal so it is like a god gift and we never do anything like the person you mentioned did.You can invite me I will definately appreciate your efforts.hahaha

Yes of course I will feel unhappy, But try to cook a great dish in next time So that every one can appreciate the same. Thanks..

Yes, I do feel unhappy when people don't like my cooking. I spent over an hour of my time, preparing food for them to eat...sometimes more, and if you don't like the taste of the food, my feelings are hurt. Maybe it's the "type" of food that you didn't like, then say so because next time I have you over for dinner I will make sure to cook something that you like and will eat. And yes, it is rude to feed the food to the dog under the table if you don't like the food. I often ask friends when they come for a visit, "what do the kids like to eat?" because I will make sure to go shopping and get some things that you all will enjoy eating.

I think I will unhappy,because your friends didnt like the vegetable and the ingredients in the meal,it was a small mistake,but they put them on the side of the plate like a mountain is impolite.Maybe I will get angry when I see like you.so you are a good temper-control

For a few minutes maybe but after that I take it as a challenge to improve myself in cooking.

Well, I think I would just not mind so that I won't get offended on what she has done, I'll just improve the taste of the food I prepared.

I will feel kind of bad, like I failed at something. I will also, try next time to cook better. Or I may not invite anyone else to dinner, until I feel that I can cook to their liking. Not everyone knows how to cook really good. But, we all cook in different ways. Then there are some people who don't know how to cook at all. Some people can cook foods really good, while the other foods they can't cook good at all. It just all depends.. For me, I will try to take my time and learn how to cook in a decent way.. I will do the best that I can. I remember one time, when I was staying at my in-laws house, and I cooked some chicken, and my father-in-law told me that I had put too much of water in my chicken. This made me feel real bad. So, I never cooked for them since living in their house.. He has asked me to cook many of things since then, but I turned him down. I figured that he would not like my cooking like he didn't like it the the last time. But, if he comes to my home and I am cooking, he will ask me, in a playful way if I am cooking, I will smile and tell him yes.. He is really a sweet fil. When I cook, I make sure that it is clean and that it smells good. Just do your best in cooking. Not everyone has the same taste buds! Just as long as you and your family loves it, that is all that matters!

I can see mermaidivy where something like that could bother you. I know that I am a little sensitive too about my cooking. I wonder if it is good enough. To be honest I don't really cook for people too much. I just have my family and I do get a little picky about my own cooking. I just want things to taste alright and not be burned or undercooked. It isn't always easy that's for sure. That would bother me to see people piling up food to the side of their plate. Definitely. I don't like that and it does seem somewhat disrespectful. Just keep trying your best. That is all you can do In time I think that we all get the experience in the kitchen that we need and things will get better. Try not to let that bother you anymore about those people that put their noses up to your food.

For people who often eat out, family food can never be its match. I am prepared to accept the fact, but feel ok as long as the dinner table is ready. But if my grandson is coming, I would take time to cook a good soup. Some to his taste, some not, that is a bit frustrating. He likes the spicy Italian food.

oh,my frind,i'm also very tired about that.sometimes i would drop a hint of that what they did made me unhappy ,but what a pity,they still pick them out of the dishes,though we're been good friends for a long time,and i know it's natural to do so by themselves,i still felt a little uncomfortable

it really depends who are the people, if they are your family member then i wouldn't mind because they understand me. they will forget about the incident. but they are some guest them i would really feel bad because the come over once in blue moon , and it would hurt me.

a little~ If I'm cooking for hours,then someone tell me "I dont like ur cooking" I will beat him/her- - funny~ but people who did nothing,dont have right to say sth

I would feel very unhappy when someone doesn't like my cooking. I would try to hide my disappointment and not look embarrassed. I have been in situations where I have ended up finishing the food or throwing it away. If my mom cooks something bad, which is highly improbable, I tell her that it din't turn out good and I would be honest as she would appreciate it. If it is someone else I wouldn't be rude by telling them that it isn't good. I think that I would end up enduring the sufferings of a badly cooked meal. Or I might try some of Mr Bean's techniques of hiding the food lol

Hi mermaidivy, That's an embarassing experience. I would rather stay calm and offer them other food or ask them what they want. :-)

I'm good at cooking, but i admit i would feel bad if someone didn't like my cooking.

The best way is to ask. Would they result into allergies if they eat those stuff? Are there any foul smell on the food for them not to eat? Is there some kind of restriction for those stuff? Ask these questions. But if the food stuff have been piled up, that is really something. I guess that is very arrogant to do in front of the one who prepared the food. I guess if I dont like the food its safe not to touch it. If it is something new to me and I would like to try it, I will just get a portion maybe to try. The best thing to do is not to react that much that would create tension. They are still your guests and when you prepares something for others that is much very fulfilling regardless of what they did with you presents/meal.

yeah, its rude to try out the food and then if u don't like keeping it aside. But as a guest you can do like this. Everyone will not like all type of meals. May be u can say, u'll put a little on ur plate and try it out. If you like the food u get some more to ur plate or u can say, u don't like the taste much try out the things u like. We cannot blame the guest if they don't like the food we cooked coz everyone has thier likes and dislikes. My advice is, you can ask from your guest what type of meal they prefer. Thats what we do. We always ask them what they like and prepare according to that... Hope this was helpfull...

I have to laugh because I am so use to people not liking my cooking. I am terrible at cooking but I do try. I can make basic stuff like chicken cutlets and pasta. But anything else watch out. Although I wouldnt appreciate someone over for dinner and making it clear that they dont like my cooking. That I think is rude. I would never disrespect someone like that
