Are you dare to criticize your mom's cooking skills?

I did make a huge mistake yesterday, to criticize my mom's cooking skill. I did made a comment on one of her dishes that she made for us last night, and I did bump into a big wall. I compared her dish to one of friend's mom, and she was mad. I thought that I simply made a suggestion objectively, not to intend to make her mad. My father simply kick me on the foot, and signal me to shut up. I did say "sorry", and I really appreciate she cooking for us. I learn my lesson well this time, never make criticism on a woman's cooking, especially your mom or your girlfriend. Especially when you made comparison to others.

Hi, I never criticize my mother's cooking skill as she is really a great chef for me, I love to eat her cooking and I miss her home-cooked meal. I can only have chance to eat my mother's home cooked meal once a year when I went back to my hometown. I do cooking everyday for my family.sometimes my husband do criticize on my cooking and I get mad too because he never appreciate what I am doing for him. But I know he actually want me to improve my cooking skill. I am not good in cooking and I really need to learn more in my cooking.

Whether it's my mom or someone else cooking, I'll just eat quietly. If I love it, I'll praise her. If not, I won't say a word. But she would already notice that I eat less than usual. We're taught that way. Criticizing is like not being grateful and we'll get an earful of scolding afterward. That's why no one complaint when I cook horribly during my first months of cooking. But I also notice how they eat less than usual. That's way I know.

My mom is a great cook. I've liked foods made by her since I was a little girl. By as she gets old, her cooking skills are not good as before. Sometimes she forgets to add salts, sometimes she add it twice. But, no matter how, I like her cookings as usual. :)

I love everything my mom cooks so there is no question of criticizing her cooking skills. She makes everything perfect and delicious, I love all that she cooks.

If you criticize someone do not expect to digest it easily. You just have to accept what is it offered to you.

I never criticize my mother's cooking skills. Because my mother's cooking, always delicious. And I always praised, my mother's cooking.
