Basic cooking! I know people who order in or buy pre-made supermarket dishes for every meal. I find it such a waste of time, and the food is often of such low quality.

    Absolutely this. I used to think it was a generational thing but we had a friend near to retirement who stayed with us for a couple of years. Despite raising a child they had next to no idea how to cook bar heating something from a tin and microwave dinners. I mean they'd never cooked a baked potato before and was puzzled by how much we made things from scratch. Quite astounding.

    I mean the chicken and ribs are fine. I mean I don't think if I bought the more expensive frozen chicken and baked it that it would be better. Sandwiches made to order are pretty fine to. But yeah a lot of it I don't get why anyone gets. Sorta ew.
