Hmm, let me guess guys, I bet you, it’s eggs. Me, it was the egg that i learned how to cook first. It was the scrambled style. First time that I was able to cook one, it was already perfect. My mother taught me how to. Then, I learned how to fry it, sunny side up. But until now though, whenever I boil an egg, it’s always cracked.

Mine was hotdogs. Jumbo beef hotdogs! Next was frying eggs, sunny side up. :)

My father ask me to cook rice, fried fish and a fish broth based soup (sinigang)all in the same hour with time pressure. The result: the rice was burned, the fish got toasted and the soup has almost lost its soup. I learn from that lesson to learn how to cook and from that time on I love cooking.

Jumbo beef hotdogs? Was it nicely done? So, your first experience in eggs is cooking it sunny side up! Were you able to cook it with the yoke intact ? For first timers, it's difficult to do that.

I suppose so, because I remember devouring those I cooked. Hehehe. As for the eggs? Yeah, the yolk was intact...but I think I was just lucky. :D

Yes actually you are right! The first thing I ever learned how to cook was eggs. But it was the sunny side up. I was so young and didn't even know how to crak open eggs properly haha Good old days! Well I did also learn how to make milk tea, if that counts

At least you get to learn how to cook eggs, sunny side up first. Did you make it well, meaning, the yoke was still intact when cooked? I learned to cook sunny side up well, after how many tries, though. Milk tea, i guess it's just being mixed, not cooked. Right?

Of course being first timers in cooking, we do not expect to do it well already. It takes practice, as they say. Well, you deserve the BR , my friend.

Hehe I did pretty bad the first few times but after years and years of practise I think I am apro now at making the kind of sunny side i like best hehe! Hehe then i guess milk tea doesn't count. But I have made some pretty bad milk teas in the past. once i put in salt thinking it was the sugar Thanks for the br

The first thing I've learned to cook was popcorn. I love it! Sometimes I have just popcorn and soda to dinner. It is an easy food to cook and very good to eat. One thing that I did exactly like you was my first eggs. It was scrambled too, but not because I wanted it: I was trying to fry it, but I put very little oil and the eggs stucked on the pan! hehe

So for you it's popcorn. I guess, i haven't cooked popcorn yet. I think it's easy because there's an instruction isn't it on the label? And you accidentally did scrambled eggs, instead of fried egg. At least you learned an egg recipe.

for me it was instant noodles. it was my first dish since you will just simply boil the noodles and some premixed seasoning on it. it was that fast and easy. i also did well with my first scrambled egg and bad with boiling eggs. :))

Instant noodles! I think that's not being cooked per se, because it's instant. Anyway, at least you did good on your scrambled egg. Isn't egg the easiest way to cook?

So you learned those 3 wonderful foods. That's good. And at least you know how to cook eggs in different ways. And to think that you can cook brownies. One of the cooking method i don't do is baking. That's why i don't know how to make brownies. Keep it up my friend.

I think i can very well do the brownie too, if it's those that are just ready to cook, just like those pancakes and banana cakes which i have already perfectly done thru the instructions on the cartons. However, i am not fond of brownies my friend. I cannot even finish a small slice of it. And if i eat one, it should be that i should have something salty to break the sweetness, in my mouth.
