Would you eat my cooking?

Question

I am a good guy who can cook fine. But how do you know that you can trust me since I don't have any culinary degrees and have never received certificates, prizes or even worked in Mc Donaolds. Can you trust me? (I did misspell the name of a restaurant just now to avoid legal problems.)

To make this issue concrete: I just posted an Asopao recipe and do such things often enough. But what if I have some evil intentions ? (Obviously not!!)

I probably should have put this question in the Philosophy part. Many ask questions about how you can trust anything and I must admit that I have some real issues about trusting people.

I would never touch anything my wife cooked which is a sad comment to make but I feel happy about all the great comments that you have made.

I only wish that I didn't have to pick a winner. Really poets should not write recipes. (I know, I will be flamed for that terrible generalization, too.)

Answer 1

What a weird question. Millions of housewives (and good guys like yourself) across the country are also good cooks that did not attend culinary school. What do you mean, trust you? Who needs to trust you to do what? Your friends who come over, you mean, can they trust you not to poison them? I guess. If they also trust you not to kill them by other means, like coming up behind them with a baseball bat....sheesh.

Answer 2

Well, there's nothing in the recipe that says anything about rat poision, so it'll probably taste pretty good.

Answer 3

I can read a recipe well enough to tell roughly what something will taste like ahead of time. (And I can certainly read it well enough to know if you're trying to poison me :) )

Answer 4

I don't know you so I don't know about cleanliness ,freshness of ingredients etc.But men do cook! You ought to taste my cooking!

Answer 5

Depends what you cooked. I like old-fashioned eastern European ethnic cooking... low salt and no MSG.

Answer 6

not even if I was starving
