Your memories with food

Heyo folks! I know the show is ending so an intro thread is practically useless, and idk if such a thread is made, but still, here goes nothing.

What are your good and bad memories with food. Ik its a personal question and you can skip answering, but i would love to hear them.

My best memory has to be when I was about 10. My maasis are great cooks, but my mom learnt to cook post her marriage, so never got to experiment like them and learn more than the daily dishes. I couldn't wait for my maasis to drop in or invite us and then be pampered. My mom joined a cooking class (where they taught how to make fancy stuff) and one day, she brought home the chole (i am not a Punjabi, so chole is a fancy dish for our region) and that's when I realized that my mom is a splendid cook (ik, i sound like an ass, but I was only 10 then) I can eat her chole for weeks (not a good idea, don't eat stale food) but that memory is special to me because i used to sit next to her and help her with chole after that (it's my fav dish, so the only thing I can make besides tea is chole)

My bad memory has to be when i was about 20. My friend had a breakup and she wanted icecream, so we went to one of these fancy parlour (like our sponsor, Amul) and she wasnt picking anything because she had a rough day. So in pressure, I picked two different ice cream (my life hack is that if you are with someone you are close to, buy two different things and share them) and I am the kind of person whose range of ice cream is limited to vanilla, chocolate, strawberry and mango. So i buy the icecreams and it's pink (if you have tasted ice cream, you see where it's going) and my friend's was something in chocolate. I had ordered candy floss flavor for myself (i love candy floss) and it tasted like cough medicine. The ice cream was pricey and I am not the kind to splurge my allowance (i have no regrets wasting my sibling's money) so till today, I avoid that ice cream parlour, even though it was my mistake.

Drop down yours🙈

Can relate..pink icecream always reminds of cough syrup..and it doesn't help that icecream gives me a sore throat unless weather really permits 😀

so need to drink warm water on top which takes away the fun of eating icecream

For me, I love watching cooking shows than cooking itself. But yes I do love food a lot 😆 especially lately.

Till last year, I did not even have the basic cooking skills so my mom used to say my best dish is water 🤣 During my childhood, once in a while I helped my mom when she made pancakes or something I liked. But after that not much until last year I had to learn cooking since I was living alone for a few weeks.

For me a good memory would be usually when I cook something for the first time, it will turn out to be surprisingly good at first attempt. Beginner’s luck or something I dont know lol. So when I cooked khichidi with spices for the first time, my mom and aunt loved it , at first I thought maybe they didnt want to demotivate me but when I tasted it damn it was not bad 😆 And I baked a cake once, and even offered my neighbours, and the picky kid who criticizes good food too liked it😆

And a bad memory related to food was when I tried making gulab jamun at the first attempt but it all broke and its like deconstructed gulab jamun and looks more like halwa 😆 but the taste was somewhat there 😆

My first memory of food is - My paternal grandmother used to make ras malai and she’d stuff sugar candy (mishri) in it. Every time she’s stuff one in a ras malai, I’d sit next to her with my mouth open. So it was one for the ras malai and one for me!

I had rare memory of mom's food. I lost my parents in my childhood.

In my highschool, i made first time, a birthday cake for my best friend, which was disaster but all of my friends said it was best ever cake they tasted 😆 i saw one of them vomiting in our back yard after eating that cake and soon after this,he came with a big smile and ate another piece of cake! Surely this is my most beautiful, cherished memory regarding cooking. Because i truly understand their feeling,unconditional love toward me.

My bad memory regarding cooking...i burnt a pizza and my Professor requested me" do not cook please again, i want to live more 50 years😭"

😆 i love to watch people cooking and i manage to cook for myself which is just okay okay,but i want to learn cooking definitely.

I have many but jo yaad aaya hai voh pehle post karti hu 😆

Good: The first time I baked a cake. Felt so damn professional coz I did the icing and everything and it was so good ❤️😆

Bad: I had some delicious seafood at a birthday party. Like seriously, it was so damn good that everyone went for thirds and fourths. But then we all got food poisoning 🤓😆

I am a Gujarati. We have a business of Indian sweets. We all are sweet merchants. In my home almost everyone knows how to cook food. Yes we are not into international cuisine but everyone can cook all type of Indian Sweets. From making kilos of Gulab Jamuns to Khandvi/Khaman/Fafda/Jalebi/Undhiyu. We enjoy the moments while cooking food. We have a shop named Sukhadias in USA also. Where we serve sweets to customers.

My happiest memory with food is that I have learnt Khandvi in that kitchen. Every Sunday we made kilos of Khandvi to complete the order. It is very tricky to make a Khandvi and I Iearnt to make it in a very joyous atmosphere without any pressure. I have learnt to make Jalebi/Mohanthal in that atmosphere. Growing up in that atmosphere and food being on our side, sometimes hum khane ko taste karte karte hi pet bhar jaata hai. This is the way we celebrate food, every guest of ours awaits for their meal when they're at our home

Few of my relatives have a catering business also. But still I am not pro in cooking, because I am into music.

Bad memories of food I don't have so. Because food is the biggest celebration of my life. Bad memories are usually my failures while cooking food. Generally happens with all.
