“I Still Refuse To Eat Anything She Makes”: 30 People Share The Wildest Cooking Practices

We're expecting twins, Stilton and Edam.

I had a colleague who named her daughter Dalia. Although this is a flower name, were we are from, there is a brand of cheese with this name too, quite popular in fact. Few months after the baby girl was born, she came to the office one day and she told us: "Yesterday my husband and I were in the supermarket for groceries and we realised that our daughter has a cheese name" .

Or they had no idea that brie is a cheese

That's a Gouda joke to laugh about! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This submission makes no sense for the title.

Try baked broccoli with garlic and Parmesan cheese 😋 edit: and olive oil and baked

This is one of those times when I'm actually happy to have been born in the south. I grew up in fresh vegetables being cooked in marvelous and amazing ways. The only issue is, if it's being cooked in the south, you can almost bet that everything that's been added in to make it taste amazing is probably not good for you. There are times where that isn't, necessarily, true and it is made in healthier ways. It isn't often, though.

Roast cauliflower with a bit of salt & pepper. While it's cooking, saute pine nuts in butter until just starting to turn golden, then add chopped dates & garlic. Cook just until the dates are warm; remove from heat & combine with the cauliflower when it's done roasting. Serve hot or at room temperature. Sounds horrible, I know, and it doesn't look much better but it is heavenly to eat!

Slow cook those green beans, after shelling a couple of them, with a chunks of ham or a slice of bacon. Sheer heaven - it's a Southern thing

I realized, once I got out on my own, and could decide how I spent my time without having any other responsibilities, trying to cut time corners has a cost. FTFY

My guess is that it’s because hummus sound foreign. Bean dip sounds traditional and local.

It's called hummus because it's made from chickpeas , the word "chickpeas" in Arabic is Hummus, that's how you pronounce it exactly. So basically it's just calling the dish by it's Arabic name

Thanks, I've never been keen on hummus because it sounds like it was made from humans. Now you've told me it's bean dip so I don't have to worry about eating human beans.

Technically you wouldn’t be lying because hummus is made from chickpeas and chickpeas are apart of the legumes family just like beans are.

But people will pay more for "hummus". That's why stores stopped calling it "bean dip" and started calling it "hummus".

I remember one Easter half my family went to the hospital because of leftovers. Thanks Mom!

I once was at a potluck were the host fried chicken breasts, they were on a plate with a lot of "chicken fluid", she fried half in a pan, put them back on the plate and then fried the other ones. 🤢 She didn't see the problem when we brought it up. 🤦

Buttering the turkey, fine, but then putting the butter on the table? Ewwww, salmonella

That is terrifying!! 😮

I am not even telling my microbiologist wife about this. She majored in poultry science, and is SERIOUS about cross contamination... this would make her skin crawl.

What a waste!

She may have come from a generation where Trichinosis (Roundworm) was prevelant in the domestic Pig herd and anyone eating pork was advised to basically cook it to death just to be sure of killing the parasite. Still a bloody sacrilege !!

Lol sounds like my MIL. The first time I made dinner for my SO, it was steak. I thought it was a little odd that he was excited about the date, but seemed a little luke-warm when I told him what I was making. Turned out his mum only cooked meat one way, charred, so he was floored when I turned out lovely steaks that didn't look like two unidentifiable lumps of sadness. 🤣 Love my MIL dearly, but we tend to spike her tea when she visits to keep her out of the kitchen.

I am TA... I would have flat out said "I can't eat that."

THIS. My mother grew up during the depression, and trichinosis was a food born illness in hogs. But she parlayed it to EVERY meat. Hamburgers ended up charcoal briquettes and t bone steaks were shoe leather 😳

It is sad when strangers ignore or even mock your food allergies, but when it comes from people who supposedly care about you, that's just awful.
