Yes, this is another food topic, but hey! You didn't have to click into here!
Anyway, after reading through a lot of the other food topics that deal with the prices of stuff from restaurants and how gravy packets never taste as good as restaurant and claim it's cause they made it at home, I decided to make an entire thread on a debate which style of food do you enjoy the best.
Do you like "buy it in a can and feel like a man" store bought food (a saying my mother always used), or do you like "Drive around to the back of the building and hand me my food through window" fast food? Maybe you like food that's cooked to perfection and brought to you by those nice young ladies/gentlemen? Or maybe you like food best when it's semi or fully homemade? Which do you like best?
For myself, it's simple... homemade as much as possible. Ignoring the fact that it's WAY less expensive then buying it pre-made, the simple fact that most of what I make (or what my gf makes) is hands down the best food ever. If it were just my food that I were saying this about, I would say it's an ego trip... but even when I go to just a friendly cook-out (no, that's not a barbecue!) the food there just tastes way better if someone actually cooked the food themselves.
For example, barbecue sauce is without a doubt America's answer for almost everything. And nine times out of ten, the person you ask will always tell you what their favorite origin of BBQ sauce is. Whether it's Texas, California (yeah right), New York (as if), Oklahoma, Memphis, Kansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, or Carolina... And to me, if you want to taste those types of sauces, you don't buy them in a jar. You find someone who makes it from scratch so you can get the full flavors. By the way, Memphis is the best.
Another example why homemade is better, is that you get a sense of pride in it. Like "Hey, I just made an extra large pizza with Pepperoni, jalapenos, olives, and bacon for myself and my friends... and it tasted way better than that cardboard pizza!" And you can get more into a lot of conversations when you go to someone and say "Hey, my marinara sauce is a bit thinner than yours, what's your secret?"
Idk, maybe it's cause I'm a southern American mut who actually had family that could cook and picked up a few things myself, but in my opinion homemade smashes anything.
BTW, this isn't saying that I don't eat other foods. I'm just saying homemade, in my opinion, is best. And now, I'd like to know your opinion.
