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.'
