Have you ever cooked a magnificiant dinner for someone and then they come along and say, oh this has no flavor and take a bottle of soy sauce or something else and pour it all over your food but even worse that they are happy that they just successfully made your food taste better without asking you if it was ok GAH someone did that when i cooked a sundried alfredo linguini pasta once and he said it was flavorless so he went to my fridge, took out the bottle of "Fu yu" (fermented beancurd) and just poured it all over the pasta !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and another time, i had cooked a huge dinner and one of my friends, decided to take out his leftover lunch "ding" it in the microwave, and eat it along side the dinner i made he said he wasn't saying my food tasted bad, he was just super hungry (but their was plenty of food) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i dunno, but i found this rather insulting
I can understand people having different tastes, but do sundried alfredo linguini pasta and 'fu yu' go together at all? I seriously don't think that goes well at all, no offence.
Yes, whenever I attempt to cook, but I don't mind. I could joke about it and like Khaotic said, people have different taste.
In the last scenario I can understand the guy if he doesn't like your food... But I've got to admit, it's rather rude to just add things to people's food without asking at all.
I don't see why you need to ask... If I go anywhere to eat and I want to add salt or somthing do I have to go and personally ask the chef if I can add it?
Its nice that you cook for your friends, but everyone has different taste, cant really complain about it. Take it in a positive way and see what can be improved upon instead of taking it as an insult.
haha, hey smallrinilady, i wanna buy u an icecream. u always seem so mad about things. how many rant threads have u started? so what kind will it be? strawberry? vanilla? chocolate? actually, i'll buy u all three flavours. but back to ur question, i put hot sauce on everything. does that count as rude too?
In the first case, its understandable. Its like if I cook some fried noodles for my friends, I wouldn't be insulted if they put hot sauce on it at all. In the second case, maybe he didn't like any of the food that you cooked and he was being nice and not say it out right. I think he was trying to be nice when he said he was super hungry thats why I brought out his leftover.
I think what he/she meant was pouring it on the other person's food instead of your own. Wait, let get this straight. Smallrinilady, did your friend pour the soysauce on top of HIS pasta or in the main plate of pasta that includes yours too? -unsure
nah .. doesn't bother me at all. i can't stand salty food ... which means, most of the time, my guests do that.
Um...its kinda rude...but ppl have different tastes..like my grandma always thinks food is tasteless to her..while its really salty for the rest of us...some ppl are just use to different flavoursXD
^I think elderly always think that their food is too tasteles because their taste buds have been gone downhill. I think it's not rude if people want to add other things to fit their own taste but it's important how they do that; if they explain it and ask nicely for soy sauce or something like that I won't mind but if they walk straight to your fridge without saying something I would regard that as rude yeah.
actually... if u think about it... haha that does kinda sound like it could work... awww great... now i'm hungry...-cry2
this is how i feel, even if i didn't like what my friend cooked, i rather suck it up and bare through it, than to insult them i'm not the one who put those two together, my guest was the one who poured the fuyu onto his noodles awww your so sweet, can i have a lee-lee flavored icecream ~giggle~ i find salt, hot sauce, and sometimes cheese (depending on the dish) to be ok but the fuyu to my pasta dish???
wouldn't bother me because they are solving the problem by themselves lol, everybody should have their food taste good to them, better then seeing them giving a weird face when eating the food, that would be a greater insult.
you really cant expect things like that there are always ppl who eat very bland and ppl who eat very strong taste you must remember that there are ppl that eat very spicy some eat very salty you cant expect everyone to be like that
If it's a more formal setting, then what your friend did might not have been the thing to do. But, in a close and friendly environment, it'd actually foster a closer relationship for a friend to comment on your food. You'd still have that unbelievable look but not feel anything negative from it and rather laugh it off. I find that would be a very cute reaction, hehe. About friend #2...never seen that happen before!
