My mother used canned tomatoes in everything. otherwise it was all alright.
Also I went to a sort of boarding school where they forced me to eat food like a righthanded person despite being lefty, which was sorta shitty.
Pic unrelated.

>>7903947
I have a few of these actually

>Be really poor growing up, mainly because my parents were always trying to sue people
>There was a better part of 6 months where almost every dinner was 99 cent store hotdogs.
>Every.
>Fucking.
>Dinner.
>Often with a glass of powdered milk.
>we had enough money to buy real milk, but we didn't, because then my mom would have to go without her half and half for her coffee, or wouldn't have enough money for wine
>she never finished her coffee
>or her wine
>The half and half would often go bad in the fridge, along with the wine.

Goulash.

I still have nightmares about it.

My grandmother made me a roasted chicken dinner a couple of weeks ago. It was basically a roasting pan with chicken, carrots, onions, cabbage, and broccoli thrown into the oven for an hour. Seasoned only with salt and pepper and it was pretty delicious. I have no idea where your mother went wrong.

My childhood was full of Hamburger Helper, tacos, and Buddig ham sandwiches. Holidays were big for me because they meant I got actual big dinners and real ham.

God help me I do love ground beef though and I blame my childhood for it.

>>7903965
are you me? we were poor due to my parents drug addiction and they spent all out good money on wine and cigarettes and more drugs and I knew we'd have more money if they stopped even when I was like 5

OP and >>7903965 here, I'm gonna namefag for this shit, because I have a lot of stories

>I loved cherry and grape tomatoes as a kid.
>We even had a cherry tomato bush, next to the blackberry bush (I also loved blackberrys).
>We also had a normal tomato plant.
>I didn't like the normal tomatoes from that plant.
>Because my mother would (and still does) blanch every tomato that she grows.
>her reasoning?
>"I don't like the skin, its taste it too sharp".
>I hated those awful things, she would often just give me a bowl of them and would get mad if I didn't finish them .
>I would often sneak into the back yard and eat the cherry tomatoes, and the blackberrys.
>My father ended up killing the cherry tomato bush, and the blackberry bush, when his hoard of rusty car parts ended up crushing both of them.
>I still cant eat blackberrys without becoming profoundly sad, remembering that I lost one of the only good things I had growing up due to my dads trash.

Everyday for 15 years

Nothing wrong with how she prepared it but holy fuck, some variety please

>dad would make oatmeal for breakfast, just like he saw in good eats
>fucking hated oatmeal, made me vomit, brown sugar and cinnamon made it worse somehow
>he knows I hate it, makes me eat in anyways one day
>"anon, this is a puke-free zone, now eat all your oatmeal"
>I just fucking can't, puke in the bowl, somehow consistency of oatmeal doesn't change
>he makes me eat it because I puked in a puke-free zone and he was mad I wasted his efforts

Not even trolling. I only eat oats if I make them now cause I know I need them for gainz, but it's still hard to finish a bowl. Can't enjoy cinnamon or brown sugar as much as other people either.

>>7903947
My mother became a good cook by the time I was really old enough to notice the difference between good and bad cooking. But looking back on it some of the things she made when I was very young (5-6 years old) were terrible. Here are two I remember:

Spam and Seashells: Fry cubed Spam with onions. Dump in jar of Ragu sauce. Pour into casserole doish containing overcooked seashell pasta. Top with green can Kraft cheese. Bake.

Canned Salmon Casserole - Soak six slices white bread in milk. Add can of salmon, two beaten eggs, salt, pepper and a little chopped onion and celery. Put into casserole dish, top with breadcrumbs and bake.

After a while both my father and brother asked her to stop making stuff like that, and she'd become a better cook anyways, so she stopped with the casserole recipes from trashy magazines and the labels of cans. As a kid I actually kinda liked this stuff, but I cringe now looking back on it.

>Hated milk
>Mom would always pour me a glass at dinner
>Drink it as fast as I could so I could get it out of the way and enjoy my food
>Mom thought I loved milk so she would pour me more
>Thought she was punishing me for something I did
Luckily my parents became vegan when I was 14 and I never had to drink milk again.

>>7903965
>my parents were always trying to sue people
what?

>>7904003
Literally every single day?

My parents are divorced, and back when I was a kid I'd spend like every other weekend with my dad.

Every Saturday morning he would make pancakes for breakfast... But these were the shittiest pancakes I've ever had.

I think he used bisquik or some shit, the pancakes were always crumbly and kind of bitter, and fucking cold. Every time they would be so cold butter wouldn't melt or anything and they'd end up just soggy, crumbly, bitter, sugar free syrup soaked chunks of shit.

I almost threw up sometimes choking down that garbage.


Like seriously, how the fuck do you fuck up something as simple as pancakes that badly?

>>7903998
My parents would spend food money so much not food that I still resent them for it

My mom would buy
>coffee that only my mother drank, and she never finished a cup
>Wine that she would open, have half a glass, and then leave in the fridge for weeks at a time.
>Magic tricks and Merlin shit so she could try to impress her magic club, even though she almost never went.
>Stuff for her shitty dove that still hasn't died (Its like, 24).
>M&ms that she would hide and not share.
>Beer that she would have 3 sips of and then put back in the fridge.
>Vacations.

dad would buy
>Tools and car parts at the swap meet, even though you couldn't walk through the yard because of all rusty trash
>The yard was actually stacked 5 feet high with scrap metal
>I got tetanus 6 times before I was 10.
>Cans of anchovies in chille sauce, that only he would eat
>Cars that didn't run.
>used clothes that didn't fit.
>Weird busted garbage from yard sales that he claimed was worth money, but he left it laying around and the rats ended up chewing on.
>expired food that only he could eat.

I was so poor that I though cup-o-noodle was fancy and would consider it fine dining.

Mom's cooking has always been shit because she has no patience for anything

>"The recipe calls for me to bake at 350 for 30 minutes? I'll just turn it to 500 degrees and it'll only take 10!"
>She boils squash
>Throws things in the oven without seasoning
>Puts canned mushrooms right on my plate without heating them up
>Somehow made small biscuits weight a pound
>Crockpot's everything for a year straight as part of her Betty Crocker phase
>Follows only the 1974 Betty Crocker annual cookbook, despite owning 1972 to 1998
>She always got pissy when I called her out on it as a kid
>I just got a spanking and a timeout every time
>My father would always cook better than her. His quiche was perfection and he'd only make it once a year
>He wouldn't cook anything else because he had got it in his head he'd just ruin the food
>When mom divorced him she had me stay at his house
>For 6 years straight it was canned foods and frozen pizzas / chicken nuggets from Aldis

Also
>They always had me drink 3 glasses of milk a day. One for each meal
>I was always gassy and short of breath at school with a lot of phlegm built up
>It took them until I already moved out and swore off dairy that they figured out I'm allergic to the stuff

My experience of eating awful food for 19 years made me want to become a chef and spare people from the same fate

>>7904029
>how the fuck do you fuck up something as simple as pancakes that badly?
Being depressed.

>>7904026
Would get a chippy once a month or so

>>7904024
>>my parents were always trying to sue people
>what?

his parents are nogs. maybe not in color, but in culture. they were lazy good for nothing pieces of shit who don't want to work and would rather try to scam someone to make money.

My parents saw nothing wrong with making the same four dishes over and over. They weren't all terrible, but you get sick of having the same thing every week, especially when a couple of those nights were leftovers. So my diet consisted of primarily:
-crunchy shell tacos with ground turkey and minimal salt/spice "because it's healthier that way."
-tuna noodle casserole i.e., canned tuna+cream of mushroom soup+egg noodles+frozen peas
-"stroganoff" which was also just cream of mushroom soup with ground beef or turkey and served over mashed potatoes for some reason. And of course the potatoes were made with almost no salt and margarine instead of butter "because it's healthier."
-"bbq chicken" this was actually the best of the four, baked chicken with this shitty Kraft brand bbq sauce slathered on it. Usually served with a baked potato but no butter allowed cause "healthy"

My only salvation was on Friday we usually went out to a local pizza joint.

>>7904043
>Being depressed.

or just don't fucking care, and did the least possible and cheapest to get through the weekend.

>>7904031
yeah I have no idea why parents feed their children shit so they can have their shitry "hobbies" fulfilled. desu I was obese at age 6 and there's really only them to blame. when I see other obese kids who are too young to even fully understand what healthy eating is I boil with rage. I want to save them from their equally obese parents. it should be considered child abuse I have no idea why it isn't.

>>7903965
man what the fuck

>>7904024
My father was/is a greedy asshole. If one of his bosses or coworkers made a small mistake he would try to sue the city of negligence and would try to get workers comp over his fingers getting tired using a screwdriver.
One of his lawsuits ended up costing us 38 thousand dollars in legal fees

>My dad had a really small, shitty vacant. lot near the harbor.
>It was stacked 8 feet high with scrap metal and rusted trash
>It was also in a ghetto so bad that people would get mugged at hatchet point during the day
>It was maybe 15' by 40'
>The city seized the land and some of the land nearby so that they could build a new metro-line
>The city compensated all the land owners pretty fairly.
>He got 15 thousand bucks in 2001
>He decided that the land was worth 36K, and he decided to sue the city, the construction company, the lawyers who helped the construction company, and the metro-line planners.
>He ended up loosing 38 thousand over the course of 6 years.
>We didn't have money for a babysitter most days, so I was stuck going to court with him almost every time.
>After court he would always go to carls jr and buy himself food, but not get me anything..

>>7904063
>it should be considered child abuse I have no idea why it isn't.

neglect at least. they're spoiled children themselves.

once you have children, all your own personal desires should go out the window if they conflict with taking care of the kids.

>>7904062
Going through a divorce ain't easy. He probably wanted to stay close with you, but he just had his life turned upside down, and the last thing he really gave a shit about was the quality of the fucking pancakes he was making for you. Especially if he never was really that into cooking in th first place.

>>7904066
:'( that reminds me of when my parents would come home with fast food and I'd expect there to be something for me but they used the same excuse every fucking time "you're a kid, u don't need this" and I would go another night hungry

>>7904066
>>After court he would always go to carls jr and buy himself food, but not get me anything..

you should go beat the shit out of him

>>7904074

"parents" like that should be shot. i'm sorry you went through that.

I love my moms cooking, this is my favorite dish she makes. Shes vegetarian btw

We just turned in one of the neighbors to the DHS for neglect. She's in her 30s, has about 7 kids, all from a different father. She supposedly works, at least she leaves the house every day. And instead of leaving food, she taught the kids to go door to door in the neighborhood to ask for food. I don't know how she thought she wouldn't get turned in.

>>7904063
I was 300 pounds by the time I was 12 and until I was 16, mainly because of taco bell and mcdonalds,

>I grew up near a taco bell and a mcdonalds

Holy fuck. I can't cope with this thread

>>7904090
Thank you for being the only happy post in a rage thread.

My mom makes this too, but without the rice. It's good. Did your mom add fresh basil?

>>7904091
Did it stick? What happened?

That's pretty much what I eat every day but without the cheese

God at my heaviest I was 220 pounds, I couldn't imagine being 300. I'm glad it appears that you lost weight anon, as an adult I pretty much avoid every food I ate as a kid and that alone dropped me by 30 pounds. At least our kids are gonna make it, right??

>>7904138
ITT: we work together as a group sharing childhood stories to get over our internalized self hate caused by our terrible parents.
he can't starve u anymore anon

My wife has a fear of chicken because her mother would either:

>pass out drunk after putting chicken in oven without even lighting oven
>wake up hours later
>rip off all her clothes and run around the house wrecking shit
>afterwards force feed her children raw chicken

or

>pass out drunk after putting chicken in oven with the oven on full throttle
>chicken starts literally burning
>8 year old kid opens the oven to try out it with water
>oven/stove now ablaze
>wakes up mother
>mother outs it but not after lighting a couple towels on fire nearly burning down the house
>thank god for concrete walls
>to this day drunkenly calls up my wife from where ever the fuck she is blaming her for all the mothers own fuckups
>should have killed you
>should have aborted you

This is only what I know that is food related but there are hundred of other stories that have been confirmed by even distant third parties who witnessed the events on how she tried to whore out her daughter for alcohol and how she tried to kill the same daughter in a drunken rage multiple times.

Her brother is also a 33 year old man with the emotional integrity of a fucking 4 year old

>>7904091

I ended up breaking his finger after he tried to stab my girlfriend (Now fiancee) and broke my nose over her leaving a pot of spaghetti sauce on the stove.
The worst part is that her and I are probably going to end up moving back in with my folks because we cant handle being homeless anymore, its been almost 5 months of couchsurfing and sleeping in the car and I cant do that to her anymore.

>>7903947

But lefties and righties are to eat food the same way.

Fork in left, knife in right.

>making ladyfingers for the first time

>open oven door
>greeted with gas smell

>all this bullshit just barely coming together and I didnt check the fucking pilot
>despair

i baked the fallen batter after re-heating the oven anyway and it yielded a weirdly fluffy but rubbery angelcake thing that I ate anyway. it wasnt the worst but so fucking far from what I intended. the initial failure was devastating though. I haven't tried again since.

>>7904166
mothers suicide when?

>>7904173
why??

>>7904171
hey I know it isn't optimal but those tiny houses are cheap as fuck and if you live near a rural area you can buy a small lot of land cheap, it may take a while to save up but at least you could be out of your dad faster.

I remember my grandma one time got a wild hare up her ass and tried some recipe called 'Cowboy Spaghetti'

which was spaghetti boiled in beer and the sauce had beer in it. it was terrible. she is an otherwise decent cook. not great, but definitely capable or better than that.

other than that and a few other just bad instances or bad ideas from whoever was cooking in my family that day, my childhood was pretty good food wise. I was actually kind of a fat kid until about 9th grade.

>>7904071

>once you have children, all your own personal desires should go out the window if they conflict with taking care of the kids.

As a father I agree with this but with the consideration that you yourself need to have fun sometimes because it benefits your child.

Having a child that you actively care for and want the best for is fucking stressful and sometimes you need to blow off some steam or get some sort of personal downtime before you end up murdering the little spoilt brat.

Like I know my kid should go to bed at this time. But right now he is having fun and I am in drunken conversation with someone who is ready to sign a contract with me so that little nigger can stay up until 9 o'clock for all i fucking care.

>>7903983
I loved ground beef tacos as a kid. it was the shit.

>Now and then my mom would make tacos.

We're trying to save up to move to Oregon with some friends, but we cant save any money if all of our expenses are on prepared food (Homeless=no stove or fridge) if we end up moving back to my parents we can just have as much as possible. They are honestly probably gonna kick the bucket really soon (my dad is 74 and my mom is 69, I'm only 22).

>>7904279
are you a landwhale now?

my mom was a good cook and i learned how to cook young so it was generally a positive experience

the one thing she did was put milk in these hippy dippy tupperware? bottles for my school lunches because she thought juice boxes were sugary and wasteful (she's not wrong) i just poured the gross smelly warm milk out but to this day i hate milk and plastic containers

shit it's a weird shit with onions in it night. Our were going to the relatives, which I just wasn't raised on this stuff.

>>7904279
mine was diet coke and plain oatmeal

haha it's amazing what parents won't really notice

>>7904298
Nah, learned how to cook and eat right and got over most of the neurotic bullshit that came with all that. I cook for myself nearly every day. I also exercise on the regular. 5'11/170 feels good

To this day, Happy Meals don't make me very happy. I know it's not McDo's fault that I got sick after the plane ride (likely, I caught something on the plane) and I know it didn't kill my brother, but I can't separate McDonald's from those two awful, awful memories.

And why the fuck would a children's hospital have a McDonald's in its lobby, anyway? That shit is far from healthy.

>>7904350

No it is just alcohol. I have witnessed the transition myself when my wife for whatever reason was trying to make good their relationship. She has some normally mild instabilities that alcohol multiplies to some super saiyan level of rage and hate.

She is is also in total denial of everything that ever happened which is why she continues with those ways.

>>7904442

>>7904066
Growing up, we had a local fried chicken meal once every month or so, so it was a treat for us kids. We were kinda poor because my mom could only work an evening job at a corner store, and my dad was always laid off from his job (too lazy to get another) so when we got Mary Browns it was like christmas.

We were always given minimal chicken and taters (seasoned potato wedges) and no coleslaw. My fat fucking slob lazy-ass father took the two centers and 80% of the taters, and all the coleslaw. One time, in my glee of seeing the Mary Brown's box I reached my hand into it and took a piece, and put it on my plate. My fucking dad shouted at me "OH YEAH, TAKE THE BIGGEST PIECE YOU GREEDY FUCK." I looked confused and looked down, and realized I took the center. He promptly took it from me, and my mom scolded me saying, "Your father gets both centers." all the while glowering at me. I always hated both of them for their selfishness.

Moved out at 16, graduated, got a good degree, now I have absolutely zero contact with either of them.

Prescription opiates.

When i was 16 i dropped acid with my friend, we had a bunch of fun walking around the neighborhood at 2am, until i ask him if he has any food back at his place, he says he has some jolly ranchers, which sounded like heaven for some reason. We get back, he hands me a basket full of them, i unwrap one and shove it in my mouth, and then i feel a tingling sensation on my gums, so i spit it out, and it's covered in ants. For a second i think it's just me tripping hard but then my mouth starts stinging really bad, fuckers bit my gums. The worst part is that i want candy so bad that i pick through the ant covered candy to find a few that hadn't been fucked with yet, and eat emx but i think i swallowed a few ants.

there's this greasy fat fuck in town. i see him at the local grocery store once in a while. he has a mousy wife, with a whole bunch of kids of varying colors. not sure what's going on there. but i guess one of them is his, because he'll yell at the kids while they're wilding in the store grabbing stuff, yelling at them to put it back. but the one kid, he'll let him get whatever he wants. the woman just says nothing, looks like she's been beat down one too many times.

almost every time i happen to see him, he'll be cashing some sort of government check and paying for the groceries with food stamps.

My mother refused to let me eat anything other than fish fingers for 2 straight years from when I was 10 to when I was 12. This was because she read an article about fish helping puberty onset later, and she was very honest that she wanted me to either die or never hit puberty because she hated the idea of a child becoming an adult. When I got my first pubic hairs she gave me to an orphanage. I have never seen her since.

>>7903954
canned tomatoes are good though. they are canned when they are peakly ripened, often moreso than retail tomatoes unless it is tomato season

My parents weren't alcoholics, drug addicts or magicians , but they were cunts, poor cunts that hated each other.

Mum got lazy with food as her hateful relationship got worse so I would end up getting shit for dinner like fish fingers and fozen vegetables or meat pies and rubbish frozen food like that.

Dad thought he wa good at everything he did and would make these awful stews and soups with all these obscure medicinal herbs (he was an amateur naturopath) and when I wouldn't eat he would call me an idiot and say I didn't know what was good because I was stupid, awesome parenting skills.
I got a job at an Italian restaurant at 14 and cooked my own food until I moved out at 20 and don't talk to my family anymore.

same here. Still, I am not that astonished, because it is fucking America after all.

I demand more fucked up food stories!

I don't have any horror stories, because they both cook quite well but my mum always rushes things or overcooks them because she's doing 1000 things at the same time, which is why I can't get mad at her for ruining recipes.

Both my parents worked long hours, so sometimes my mum only had time to boil some small Farfalle and serve them with a bit of butter, parmesan and black pepper. My dad who is very health conscious used to always nag her for "feeding us butter for dinner" and one day she got fed up and asked him to do it instead, so he swapped butter for olive oil.

It tasted so bad that even he didn't want to eat it and agreed with going back to the old way of cooking it. The food itself isn't depressing, it's the fact that our poor old mum was too busy to make anything that needed more than 15 minutes to be prepared.

One of my mates went out with a yank. Instead of holding her knife and fork properly 820and cutting up her food as she ate it she'd cut it all up with the fork in her right hand then put her knife down and just use the fork to eat.

Dude don't do it. At the least get a tent and camp out, or if you have ID get set up in a homeless shelter somewhere. They can help you find a temp agency to get you and your lady cash until you find a real job, which you can get if you use the homeless shelter's address as your own and explain your situation.

I get that. My mom never knew how to cook veggies. She still doesn't to my best knowledge.

>>7905273
Thanks for reminding me to get in touch with my grandma anon. You and I are lucky we had such great grandmas and we got to enjoy them. I think you should embark on a quest to learn how to make the best god-damn golabki in the world and every time you serve to talk about her to whoever you are having dinner with. She would like it.

Fuck man. Some of you guys had it rough. Only thing I could bitch about would probably be our taco nights. Fucking every Thursday through Sunday was got damn taco night. Ground beef with taco bell seasoning and all the taco fixings. It wasn't bad by any margin,but it got pretty boring after 15 years of that shit. My Dad was a pretty good cook, but when my parents divorced and my dad moved away, my mom became the cook. She always tried new stuff on the weekends, but usually resorted to hamburger helper or tuna helper on school nights. I still cringe to this day whenever I smell tuna/hamburger helper. Doesnt help that my roommate makes that shit every night.

>>7905273
There there, Anon. Let the pain run its course, and when it has you'll be just fine.

Then, get to work reviving her dishes as best you can. She will continue to live on in the hearts and stomachs of the ones she loved.

>>7905211
they're not, trust me. its not until they get to school that they meet people that can, but they get the message quick tgat if tgey seek help their parents will go poof and that's far scarier than abuse. hell, being abused is normal, its life.

>>7905319
>>7905328

I'm just waiting for the pain to pass, but it's taking so long.

Actually learning to make golabki might help, so I will try that. Who knows.

She died two or three months before Christmas, and she used to make a bunch of dishes for it. My family sort of split on making them. I made these little pierogies with mushrooms, my aunt made her famous cookies and got pretty close, my mum made beetroot soup. Everything was good, but...kinda off.

I'm so happy she taught me how to make russian pierogies her way. I feel the weirdest mixture of sad and happy when I'm eating them.

Thanks, anons. I'll do my best to recreate that golabki.

Anon I know it's a sad thing to think, but the taste will never be the same. That's what made them special I could never hope to replicate my grandmother's cooking either. But we can try and be happy that we got to enjoy so much of it. Being sad is natural in this scenario, but don't forget the upside. All you need to do is read through this thread and you will realise how lucky you were. I'm not religious but lighting a candle or visiting their grave makes me feel better and is a good chance to think about them.

dunno man. since no one talks about him and i was so young when he died, i dont remember what day he died, or even know where he's buried. im pretty sure he died in august. but i dont even know his birthday. we used to have one picture of him in the living room, but we moved to an apartment 10 years ago and i don't know what happened to the picture, so i haven't seen a picture of him in 10 years either.

i think its just mostly because of my mother. my father would mention him briefly, but stopped after a while. my mother never does. me and my sister i guess followed her example, we haven't spoken of him between ourselves since he died either.

>tfw i still remember my mother calling us downstairs to tell us he was dead. my first thought was "yay mom made us pancakes!!" because she'd only call us to breakfast if she made pancakes.
> no pancakes. just my mother and father crying and telling us our little brother was gone

>>7905398

I know. But I still think that trying to make them like grandma used to will somehow help. I can feel it. So I still think it's a good idea.

I only went to her grave once. I can never force myself to do it. I think a part of me still doesn't want to admit that she's gone and I'll never see her again.

>>7905450
Of course, do your best to match hers. It will make you feel like you're living her life a little. Find out the things she liked to do and try them for yourself, explore her life a little. It will probably give you a whole new appreciation of her.

>I think a part of me still doesn't want to admit that she's gone and I'll never see her again.
I wonder if we ever get past that stage. I think the passing of time is the only thing that helps with this.

Do you have memorial services in your country? In some places people meet up and celebrate a loved one every year or every few years after their passing. In the Orthodox church it's:

Third day after death - funeral
Ninth day
Fortieth day
Three months
Six months
First anniversary of death
Third anniversary
Optional: Every year

In my experience they turn out into huge family parties with lots of good times and reminiscing.

>>7905488
No, nothing like this. And I'm not religious, neither is most of my family.

My family sometimes talks about her in the sweetest way, we all miss her, so whenever something is not done in the garden or around the house someone will say "grandma would surely do this" or "she's kill us if she saw we didn't rake the leaves", we often talk about her around different holidays, since she was always a big part of that. But I rarely join these conversations, since every time I just tear up and my voice breaks. I don't really like crying in front of anyone, so I just don't say anything.

It's weird, because a few years earlier my grandfather passed. It was also sad for me, but he died quickly and unexpectedly, and I didn't have such a deep relation with him, not that many memories, so I came to terms with it relatively quickly. This is so much different.

>>7905534
>poor
Nah, not at all.
>foreign
Nah, not quite.
My dad's half American so, by American logic, 100% American which makes me, by similar logic, 100% American. Just wasn't born nor raised in the US, is all.
I mean... I don't feel American. I like it here, but I speak English with a non-American accent, so despite being born a US citizen, I'm always looked at as though I'm a foreigner.

>>7905846
You must live somewhere without a lot of diversity. I'm from Houston and there are so many different accents that nobody thinks anything about it too much. If you can communicate, who the fuck cares?

>>7904374

>>7905899
Believe it or not, there's a lot of diversity here. My block alone has a dozen different languages spoken. That's only 43 houses.
On my block, everyone's a foreigner!
I think it's because I'm white and there are few young, white immigrants in this area, so hearing a young white guy with a foreign accent throws people for a loop.

>>7905422
Go home suburban scum

All I had was my mom and she doesn't know how or want to cook and her excuse was always "I'm a simple person" which meant she was lazy about food and thought what was good for her was also good for me. Growing up my diet was fast food, frozen food, food from cans and food from boxes. I still eat frozen canned packaged stuff from time to time but as soon as I got older and was able to cook for myself I ate better.

>>7903947
my mother used to cook fried egg, butter, soy sauce, and rice mixed. We were poor but god that shit was great.

I've never been able to taste that stuff ever since she passed away.

My grandparents died when I was so young that I have no memories of them, only photos.

Maternal grandmother was a somewhat physically handicapped mestizo widow with a heart of gold who managed to keep 6 hungry children fed, often by going hungry for days on end herself, by doing what odd jobs she could. I have a photo of me at her house when I was around 4, shirt off and with a pair of shorts on, with a piece of toast in one hand and yerba mate in the other, her grinning ear to ear in the background.

Maternal grandfather died when my mother was only 8. I don't know much about him, only that he was a full-blooded spaniard and worked like a motherfucker until the day he died.

My paternal grandfather was a man from Milan who worked at a meat packing / refrigeration plant. He supposedly cooked a ridiculously good barbecue, like, at a neighborhood-wide event they'd have him grill the meat. Died before I was born.

My paternal grandmother was a 6 foot tall German damsel who's cooking was so unbelievably good that my fucking mom's family still moans in desire whenever they remember the few times they ate her dishes. Tons of traditional german food. Parents say that if she were still alive, I'd be disgustingly obese. Have no memories and only one photo of us together.

I don't know what's better, knowing and then loosing them or having these nice photos.

Also, my mom's a savory chef, dad's a pâtissier but an even better savory cook than my mom. I was a really fat kid.

>>7906002
I swear to God, the mere passing thought of loosing my parents will usually drive me to tears. I'll be in bed, trying to fall asleep, and the thought that someday my parents will eventually die might pop into my head. If I can't get that thought to go away, I WILL start sobbing into my pillow like a little bitch. Right now even, I'm about to tear up a bit.

>>7906035
I know the feeling. I do the same exact shit. The thought that you can cherish a memory with them right now. But you know one day that won't be possible. You can't hear or feel or laugh with them, or hear them say they are proud of you. That you will never be able to repay them for the life they've given you.

You will never be finished loving them, but time forces you to. That's what gets me.

>>7904066
>buy himself food, but not get me anything..
my fucking mum did this to me between the ages of 12-16

come home from work with a family sized meal, locked herself in her room and devoured it herself while my dog and I eat sandwiches with nothing in them but cold ham (mum was negligent enough to not buy dog food as well as real food)

happened nearly everyday til I found a job and bought my own food and dog food

Yeah, the story is pretty off, but I think that the BBC would probably advertise on food packages just like other family shows. It's even pretty fitting, given the popular fish finger reference.

I like to get cans of diet coke with Marvel characters on them. It's the exact same product and price, but it makes me smile a little.

My dad's best friend used to be a chef and they lived together until my dad got married to my mum. So my dad learnt how to cook a lot of a good stuff really well from his friend.

Though when my parents got divorced I had to live in two homes, but my mum was terrible at cooking. She'd never use salt or brown things properly, everything always seemed horribly rushed.
Then she got married to my stepdad and he's the fussiest eater on the planet, any seasoning that wasn't salt he'd turn his nose up at. (he's the type of guy who likes his steak well done with ketchup and squirms at the juices that come out of a medium rare steak)
This meant that all food I'd eat at my mum's from then on would be bland shit. My stepdad can't stand the smell of some things like curry and mexican food.
There are times when my mum and I wanted a curry and my stepdad would have to leave the house to have his food at his mum's house.
Weird man.

>>7905601
That's some promising-looking fish. What herbs are in there?

I just have family in the Seattle area. I'll break free of Dallas's gravity well soon enough, but I'll miss our museums.

The Seattle area is pretty active on meetup.com, which is an easy way to get into a lot of fun events. I use it for book clubs and car/photography shows, mostly.

In hindsight it really isn't that bad at all, and she was just trying to be a good mom, but it's probably the moment I realized that my parents weren't perfect and that I was a little shit.

One time when I was eight or nine, I decided I could live without my dad, but not without my mum. Never told anyone.

Lo and behold, my dad decides the day after my senior prom is a great day for the hemp necktie.

I'm a bit of an alcoholic now.

>>7906266
>Never told anyone.
Is that including the internet, or no?

Man, it'd be hella fucked if right now is your first time telling anyone.

>>7906305
This would be the first time, actually. I don't recall telling anyone, and I sure as shit wouldn't tell my mum.

I miss his cooking. He went to boarding school and worked in the kitchens, so it was fairly generic, but good. Motherfucker made some excellent scrambled eggs.

I have some depressing stories, but compared to some of the stuff here, it would feel like bragging. I think i'm gonna call my grandma tomorrow and bring over her favorite (pizza hut, pepperoni, extra grease)

>>7906330
The 3 other alcoholics I know are also fond of cooking, what is it about cooking and alcoholism that goes hand on hand

>>7906330
Ironically all four of my grandparents are still alive. Even got a couple great grand parents kicking around. I don't really talk to my dad's side anymore though.

>>7906342
Alcohol and cooking is like tits and ass: it's always better to have both.

>>7906342
The more food in your stomach, the more you can drink before passing out.


Alright, heres my depressing blog post:

From the time I was in kindergarten until about 12ish, my mom worked 12-16 hour days as a psychiatrist. Pretty sure this was residency but not sure. Anyway, mom would drive me to the bus stop, grandpap and grandma would pick me up after school, and cook for me.

Grandma is a 5'2 polish woman from the old country. I was a picky eater (still kinda am) so most of the time she'd cater her menu for me. To this day, my favorite food is grandmas all day chicken noodle soup.

I was raised by my mom, but i'd spend the summers with my dad. He was in the army, ex-green beret, high speed low drag, hardass yada yada

Anyway, I was a skinny little fuck as a kid. So were both my parents. My mom was 5'8 and 90 pounds before getting pregnant with me, my dad was 6'2 and 140 before joining the army and eating MREs.

So, my grandfather (at the farm with my dad) was a great chef, but I was a picky eater. My dad was a bad alcoholic when my parents divorced, but didn't really drink much, if ever. He only drank once in front of me.

I didn't want to eat the meatloaf (probably delicious), so he sent me into the living room to watch TV while everyone ate. His rationale was that i'd get hungry eventually, and come back to eat. He was wrong.

Eventually he felt guilty about sending a skinny kid to bed without his supper, so he looked through the cabinets for something to make. I settled on ramen noodles. Being the picky kid I was, and not knowing about cooking, he asked if I wanted the flavor packet in it. Being ignorant, I said no.

So, my dad and I were in the kitchen, at 10pm, him drinking beers, and me trying to suck down unflavored ramen noodles. Since they were slimy and had no flavor, I couldnt finish them. He goes into a tirade about how I had to eat more, how I had to try new things. I ended up eating plain ramen noodles flavored only with my tears.

My mom has stage 4 cancer, and one more chemo option left before the doctors tell her they've done all they can. We're guessing 6 months, given how things look.

There are so many things you want to do, say, and ask, and so little time to do them. I really want to go over some of her unwritten recipes together, so I can make some of them for my dad when she's gone. Even now he isn't taking things well, and I can't imagine how bad it'll be after she dies. I hope making those dishes will help him as he tries to come to terms with it.

Get those recipes from her anon. You'll look back on you two going over those recipes after she's gone and cherish the time and every bite of the delicious meals she handed down to you before leaving.

I lost my mom to cancer when I was 18 in 1994 and she was the best cook I've ever known. I didn't have anyone tell me to do that when I was 17 trying to deal with losing my mother and now all those delicious things she used to make for the family are lost forever.

Get those recipes.

Your father should feel the most abject shame for being more of a child than you ever were.

>>7905211

At the time it was my normal. I didn't realize until much later that it was unusual. No land line phone and a school that didn't give a fuck anyways, so I couldn't get help even if I was aware. A lot of kids slip under the radar because people don't pay attention or misinterpret what's going on.

I was called into the office a few times just in middle school because of my odd clothing (torn up family hand me downs that were many sizes too large), but CPS was never called that I'm aware of. I stole a lot of food and never got caught. Maybe if I had been caught someone would have noticed what was up.

Guess I'll offer another story?

American here. Also a lefty. I hold the fork in my left hand, the knife in my right. No switching hands or putting down either utensil. I've lived up and down both coasts my whole life in mid to large metropolitan areas. Middle class. Switching hands is becoming pretty uncommon. and has been since WWII (according to grandaprents' generation). It is almost considered quaint, and I only see it rarely in small towns. Obviously, it's impolite to tell someone how they're eating is "wrong". Anyway, not a thread about eating customs, just felt like giving you my perspective.

Shit and I thought I grew up poor.

I grew up moderately poor, but... holy shit... I'm going to feel like a spoiled prick for posting this.

My Pop was this big SpecOps guy who wanted his two sons to grow up big and strong. So my parents fed us a lot. I almost died of disease three or four times, but the weight loss didn't matter, yay gigantic omellettes and sweet potatos and such.

Well when I was in heavier-hitting sports I often got angry at them for making me eat so much god damn food in the mornings, I'd get yelled at so I'd sit there with a book for a while eating every last scrap...

... my parents grew up in poverty...

... well I feel like shit now but I didn't go through jack shit, you people did. If I ever grow powerful, every kid eats well forever.

[spoiler]Pop would also make me chug energy drinks during hell training for a couple of weeks, he denied ever doing it, I did get strong but if he knew more chemistry I don't entirely doubt he would experiment on me and my dog with LSD and DMT and whatnot. Please never feed your kids energy drinks, go to /fit/ unless you want to kill your kids. Please also don't tell your kids they can't drink water until they've had all their gatorade, this also coming from my father whose call to fame is almost dying due to army-gatorade. I think I should thank my parents.

I wonder if that makes me a laboratory mouse.

... My brother is this weird cross between the biological and electrical disciplines. I imagine him grafting neon tree trunks on to his little ones' bone marrow so they can grow up with little woody scales on their arm. Ya know. Natural body armor. Fucking experimental human-wolverine-tree groot hybrids is what they'll be. I can't wait.

About 6 months ago my mother told me she tried to get an abortion and her doctor denied her. He told her he wouldn't let her do it.

That was 30 years ago.
Today, it would be criminal to take the level of action that he had to.

In this modern world, I wouldn't have had a chance.

What a moron. Imagine how many useless people he has added to the world and the issue of overpopulation. Broken welfare faggots that proper folk have to provide for.

My Fathers Wife, was a good cook, but that's about it.

Sorry to hear that anon, my little cousin stayed at the one in NYC in the early 2000's. As much as I hate fast food that place really helped my family out a lot throughout my cousins sickness.

>>7904031
I don't have a child yet, but my gf has a kid, and she says regularly that she'd like him to have brothers and sisters.
So maybe by next year.

I buy him special treats all the time.
Anything I think he might like.
I'll never let someone who depends on me go hungry or serve them shit.
I hate when people fall into the habit of giving their kids the same thing all the time.

If a kid told me this I would immediately pull out a small pan, make the a separate portion but strongly encourage giving mine a taste.

A lot of people have some anger management shortcomings.
I literally stop myself from talking and do some slow-deep breathing while I get my head on right.

ERASED

Its a good anime if you like thriller

>all these whites ITT crying about child abuse

I'll tell you what, growing up in an Asian household is hell.

My dad once said he'd beat the shit out of me, then force me to live outside and eat dog shit, all because I was too afraid of him to show him a note I had to get my parents to sign.

I was scared as fuck. I told the student teacher at my elementary school word for word what my dad said, because I thought I was gonna die. I was 8 years old, thinking I could bear my soul to this student teacher because she was cool to me when she was teaching us.

When I told her, she just nervously chuckled it off saying "oh I'm sure he was just kidding". She got up and left after that. I never spoke to her again, nothing was reported.

My dad obviously never did anything as dramatic as that, but I grew up under constant fear. It wasn't of a drunkard who'd abuse the entire family, or a rapist after my butt. It was of a man who I was utterly afraid of disappointing, the one male role model a kid was supposed to have, my dad who often treated to beat the shit outta us.

My father is a 15+ year morphine addict.

>2006, visiting family here in the Midwest. I'm 15 at the time.
>Go to my grandma's for Thanksgiving
>She's a genuinely good cook, makes turkey and the works. Her specialty is lemon cookies.
>My father, after having his brain fried after so many years of drug abuse, decides that right before dinner would be the absolute perfect time to shoot a whole fucking syringe of morphine into his arm.
>Begins by eating very slowly without saying anything, while rest of us have animated dinner conversation
>Someone asks him a question, he doesn't respond
>Begins slowly nodding out into his food.
>People quiet down, begin to watch. I'm horrified, he's done this before but not in front of 12 family members.
>He faceplants into his food while the entire family is silently staring at him.
>Picks up his head, mumbles how he's fine, and then manages to put a spoon in his mouth.
>We all lay him out on the floor, they try to call 9/11 thinking he's "sick". I manage to persuade them not to, saying that he's "just tired" and if someone could drive him and I home after dinner.

Since then my father has cut off all relation to his own family. We don't talk to them anymore. He now lives alone getting high all day. He's 65.

>Both parents are chefs
>All meals homecooked and delicious
>Me and sis grow up on the food, eating the same amounts
>She's tall and slim, I'm short butterball
>My weight becomes an issue quick
>Every meal sis is rewarded for eating, while I get frowns.
>"Your sister is so skinny, are you eating all the food anon? Don't be so greedy"
>Grandma starts removing my plate at meals, and makes disgusted noises if I ask for it.
>Anorexia.jpg
>Stop eating and becomes skeletor
>Can't cook or eat with family because they all remember butterball anon and gives looks.
>Try to make parent's signature dishes on my own, but can't eat them because flashback to butterball anon.
>Throw food out and just not eat.
>Every single time.
Rather die than eat and people seem to agree with it. I should probably an hero.

what happened at 40-50 that made him a morphin addict?
Where was your mom?

Getting beaten by a asian dad is no worse than getting beaten by a white dad. Kys you narcissistic faggot.

>>7905718
I will never do this to my family.
I like to smike, laugh, okay the bad down or turn it into a joke.
Talk everything back to a healthy place.
I do everything I can to help people in stress because I was such a nervous kid around the men in my family.
My older brother is getting better as he gets older, and I try to work with him.
He stopped drinking this year.
The old man has too, but he won't leave the house to visit with people, we have to go to him. I still try at least every other week.

>>7906942

At least you didn't have a food allergy.
Try having Asian parents and then the doctor telling them you're allergic to peanuts.
They try to mithridatise it out of you, forcing you into hospital every few months. It's fucking hell. Or if you're sick all over yourself at school, they come to pick you up, then beat you with a hair brush for being sick. Worse yet if your parents are from the Vietnamese countryside, because then they rub you with tiger balm and scrape you with a coin until you bleed to get the sickness out. That shit fucking burns. Whites just don't know.

good grief these summerfags

My mother literally just threw in frozen meals like lasagna and pre cooked wings and meatballs and kraft dinner and then complained about how much work cooking is and guilt tripped us into eating it

She is kind of a cunt

Tbh man, you are. That's okay, most humans are. We're very replaceable.

On the ACT I was in the 99th percentile in all subjects except English composition.
I've never held a job where I was not the hardest working employee.
I served. (99asvab, 1st class pft for 6 years).
I've helped keep people out of evictions, helped them stay out of jail, helped one get sober, and I do my best to set a good example and mentor every kid I spend time with.
I've given away my second truck on 3 occassions and likely will give another to a kid I know who's about to turn 18 and has a kid on the way. If he's got it in him to take a job where I can get him making $20-25 an hour.

I do have depression, and in those times I withdrawal for 2 days to a week, unless someone asks for help I spend that time alone. I am on the autism spectrum, likely because of my mother's substance abuse, though it wasn't until the last few years when I made that connection. I didn't spend much of my childhood with her.
She's still a junkie.
And periodically I stop in to check on her, buy her the basic necessities, take her out for lunch, cook her dinner and wish her well.

I don't need anyone's help to make it as an adult, and I'd die before asking.

>>7905725
Between beef, chicken, and pork for me it'd be the least offensive when unseasoned.

Sometimes I'll cook unseasoned breasts and pull them so I can throw them in whatever later on. The bits I'd eat while I'm pulling it always taste fine to me. Tastes like chicken. I just like chicken. I didn't get it a lot as a kid because my parents said it was too expensive. I eat it a lot now because it's cheaper than ground beef. Mostly drumsticks because sometimes the jumbo packs go on sale for $2 or $3.

I guess I'm just happy to have it. Unseasoned chicken and vegetables is a big step up from the tv dinners and frozen pizza I ate all the way up till I graduated high school.
