Anyone NOT like MIL's/ your Mom's cooking?

Original post by cw0904

I hate MIL's cooking! There are only 2 things that she makes that I love. Cheesecake and cod fish cakes. I can't forget johnny cakes. Although on a couple of occasions, she poured too much black pepper on the cod fish cakes and I was on fire!! Other than that, she puts too much salt on the steamed veggies, her rice is dry as all hell, she over fries everything, doesn't put enough cheese on the mac & cheese, and salads are just, not good! How you mess up lettuce, tomato, and cucumbers is beyond me! I dread holidays at their house. I don't eat any of her food when I am over there on a regular basis. FH and I always grab something or make something on our own. Sad part is that FH isn't a fan of his mom's cooking either.

My mom on the other hand is an awesome cook. She always makes overs so that all of us have extra food to eat the day after. We complain when she doesn't! And when FH is around he cleans his plates dry! On holidays everybody takes a plate home. My dad is just as great, if not better, than she is. But we can't tell my mom that. She gets upset

My Mom is an awesome cook - I miss her food so much! I hate that she's too far away for me to eat dinner with her

FMIL does NOT cook. EVER. In 2 years I have seen her make 2 thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and pork chops once. Other than that she always has frozen dinners/pre-cooked foods (heat & serve)/ or Take Out! I can't take it!! FH and I cook for ourselves. It is so hard to be on a diet around her b/c she always offers to buy us take out food!
She does make a good holiday dinner, although a little bland for my liking.

I LOVE FMIL's cooking....everything she makes is perfect and so beautifully presented...even if its just a bbq. I love going there for dinner...we go almost every week ...I am trying to pick up some tips!
