This is why I learned to cook at a very young age.

I wasn't allowed to do that. My mom took that whole eating what she made or eat nothing really serious. I wasn't allowed to make my own stuff if I wanted

Sorry to hear that, hopefully you've found joy in food later in life.

Oh yeah. I did an exchange/international semester in Edinburgh. First time living alone and being able to do what I want and when I want it. I like having control over what stuff I eat but it's not like I hate my mom for how she does things. I appreciate all the work she does and living with your parents just makes being a student a little easier. It's just sad sometimes, that I can't as easily try new stuff or eat when I'm actually hungry and not when the designated family eating time is.

I did try when I was younger, I just have an aversion towards it (it's really really boring to me). I learn when I was a older, like 20, 21.

Everyone gets there at their own pace, is it still boring to you? Maybe try different styles of cooking?

I have tried different things to make it interesting for me, like maybe making more backed stuff instead of boiled or steamed... no, I just have no interest in it.

Eating and cooking are like means to an end for me. I'm hungry, I eat. That is probably why I could eat my mother's cooking without problems, lol 😂...or why I have no problem taking codliver oil without any extra stuff on it (like lemon). I'm just not that much into tastes I guess. I like tasty food, but if the food is not tasty and I'm hungry, I'll eat just about anything.
