Have you ever cooked food you didn't like for someone?

1 Answer

Answer :

Yes, Chicken Curry for my Son. I can’t stand hot spicy food but I did it for him one time when he came home for a visit. Cried my eyes out. The curry burned my eyes it was so hot.. He said it was the best Curry he ever had. I never made it since. Also made shrimp gumbo with broccoli. I love shrimp gumbo but not broccoli kills it for me. And I never like pumpkin pie but I make that ever year for everyone else. Again something everyone one else says I make the best but I simply don’t like it. I like pumpkin, I just don’t like in a pie.
