Any good food comes from immigrant cuisines. French, Mediterranean, Indian, Asian, to name a few, have rich food traditions.

Lol…that’s not “immigrant cuisine”. It’s just the cuisine of other countries.

I don't think this is controversial at all--almost every mother I know thinks this.

Most mothers feed their kids sugar drinks daily.

Americans of all races do that. But you’re too chickenshit to say it about anyone but whites 👍

No, it's a special white mom thing from what I have seen. In many cases, they leave cooking and food to the husband to do. Or just eat snacks for dinner or microwave something, or supplement snacks with 1 carryout meal and try to split that meal or something.

This is a LIBERAL mom thing, they feel that it is sexist to be in charge of meals so they leave it for their husband, who then serves frozen crap because "I ate it and I turned out fine."

Brunch Granny.

A few months ago I mentioned McDonald's at work and my coworkers were horrified, apparently they thought I ate 'healthy'. Every few months I get that craving for a cheeseburger and salty, greasy fries and I get it, enjoy it, and don't want it again for another couple months.

Same here!!!

I think all seafood is gross and don't understand why people eat it.

I don't like a lot of Asian restaurant food because it tastes like grease to me. Same if someone tries to invite me something they have fried at home, I taste the oil and the smell alone makes me want to throw up.

I've learned that there are some Asian restaurants that are very fresh and not greasy. And they're my favorites.

And this is probably controversial, but I ate at Benihana (at the hibachi) for the first time last week, and it was delicious. Very clean, non greasy, fresh, flavorful. I don't know why I was surprised but I was.

But "picky eating" is caused by shitty parenting 99% of the time.

I used to think this until I had an insanely picky eater. She’s borderline ASD and it’s common for kids and adults with that issue. It’s incredibly aggravating as I eat and cook everything. I have spent so much of my time attempting to expand her palate and every once in a while I find something she’ll add in (broiled calamari worked for a while), but it doesn’t always stick.

Yes, even pico and other salsas with raw onions.

I make amazing pico without the onions that everyone always raves about and requests I bring when we do BBQs.

Please post the recipe on a new thread. I also hate raw onions.

I love coffee but can’t stand the fancy coffee they sell even where now, like Compass. It tastes bitter and oily to me and often has an undercurrent of fishy taste. I can’t believe other people don’t notice it.

Really? I use it to warm milk for bechamel, heat broth for risotto, cook frozen peas for my kids, melt chocolate for ganache, make scratch oatmeal, warm homemade multigrain muffins , defrost frozen mangos for salsa….love my microwave! The trick is to use the right level — most people just throw everything in on high. And not to put anything in too long. And it doesn’t do well with meat.

Huh. So because I heat some things in the microwave—oatmeal, leftovers, some convenience and frozen stuff—the 10-15 meals a week I cook on the stove and in the oven…are erased from the space-time? Or they just don’t count? I must know your logic, I bet it’s fascinating.

Microwaves are fine for reheating, but you can just as easily do that on the stove or in the oven. I don't get the need for a separate, huge appliance that simply replicates what you already have in the kitchen.

If the dish you're preparing is actually *intended* to be microwaved -- in a plastic tray covered in plastic wrap -- then I repeat: you are not cooking.

Chocolate is boring. It appeals to kids and others with simple pallettes.

Sorry your white husband can't cook.

Get with the times, racist troll. No one gives their kids spaghettios anymore.

Right?! I didn’t even know they made it anymore. We are the kind that had the hot dog pieces in it as an 80s/90s kid

You have got to be southeast Asian because you have never seen the crap my black mother served me and we were not poor. She just didn't like to cook and bought all frozen junk that we could microwave ourselves. I try to do better with my kids but I give them the same stuff my white neighbors give their kids -- and it is not frozen or canned pasta.

White moms are the least tasty cooks for sure but I have coworkers who are south Asian and complain all the time about how they HAVE to be up cooking by 5 am to have three fully home cooked meals every single day and it’s like ok maybe the trade off to being a kitchen martyr is being ok with chicken nuggets and spaghetti sometimes so you’re not stuck cooking and cleaning dishes every spare seconds you’re at home.

Really?
