    Lmao speaking of immigrants complaining of how their kids like to eat, I have a Russian coworker who complains about how her kids only want to eat unhealthy American food and not the food she cooks.

        I was an extremely picky eater as a kid.

        Bitching and screaming when told I had to eat my veggies, all that stuff.

        Wasn’t until I moved out for college that I realized that a lot of that came from the fact that my moms cooking was shite.

          My poor mother tried so hard, but yeah, combining foods into an interesting dish is not an easy thing. It didn’t help that she has never understood the joke about a wife replacing every ingredient in someone’s favorite dish and then complaining they didn’t enjoy it.

          Now as a burgeoning cook, I, too, wish I could sometimes just have the skill to properly spice dishes and mix vegetables into actual flavor instead of another weird combo that is palatable but definitely not ‘good.’

        Nope, kids like garbage. Probably designed the food to be addictive. Better off banning American processed food.
