如果有一天你发现，妈妈做的饭太难吃了，简直是黑暗料理，实在是难以下咽，怎么办呢？
Ryan说停停停，你在说什么？怎么能说妈妈花时间做的饭难吃？如果你嫌弃难吃，该是时候自己做饭了，但愿你做的能比妈妈做的好吃。
赫扬说很多人都是吃妈妈做的饭长大的， 小的时候觉得妈妈做的饭好好吃哦。但是长大后，有的人就说妈妈做的饭不好吃。但是在她看来，她妈妈做的饭比任何米其林餐厅的大厨做的饭好吃百倍。
如果开始嫌弃妈妈做的饭，也是时候考虑为妈妈做一顿饭了。

Heyang:
It doesn’t matter whether your mum cook daily magic in the kitchen or saw a kindred spirit in ready-made meals, what you take away. The part that stays with you longer than the taste of days-old braised pork chops probably is that her effort nourished your spirit as much as they fill your stomach. It was love, through food, expressed in ways, great and small. Those are some nice words said: “but sorry mum. What if the cooking was not that great?”
Niu Honglin:
Well, there are different ways of being not good at cooking. First one being “cook the same dish everyday”. And according to some special sources, his mum actually cooked the same noodles for 8 years. Yes, that’s just a little sad. And some mums like to destroy things or destroy their kitchen while they’re cooking. And some moms decided that they wanted to try new dishes all the time, but none of the new dishes are well tasted.
Ryan:
You guys are being so mean. Mom, I just want to say everything you cook is really good. I love you~~ Anyway, if this is the case, I think we got to be subtle about how we tell our moms “hey! Please don’t cook this again.” ok? Cause if we say that, shattering our mom’s heart, guys, this is not right.
Niu Honglin:
Or, you can just say to your…
Ryan:
What? I’m saying though. Let’s let Gordon Ramsay do it, ok? Because apparently if you take a picture, and tweet it to his handle. I’ll give you an example. Someone took a picture of their cafeteria’s pizza and said: “hey, Gordon Ramsay, what do you think of my cafeteria’s pizza?” He said: “shut it down!” you know? So let Gordon Ramsay do that. He has no problem doing it.
Heyang:
He’s one man that… there’re so many hell’s kitchens that he’s invaded, or made better. So I think that is one difficult thing for you to give advice, if not constructive criticism to you mum, because you know how much she loves you, and the effort she’s put in. And saying “this is not great” is just the hardest thing in the world.
Ryan:
Yes, perspective, guys. She’s cooking something for you. Even if it doesn’t always taste delicious, even it’s noodles for 8 years…I’m sorry about that, by the way…you should then cook your own meals, ok? You can go cook your own meals. “We don’t need to be cooking for you.” I’m speaking for the mums.
Niu Honglin:
Or you can just say nicely and sweetly to your mom, saying that: “mom, I want to do something with you. Let’s try to take a cooking lesson together. I got the coupon. Let’s do this.” That will be a subtle way.
Heyang:
And that could also be a source of major fights and conflicts between the two generations.
Ryan:
You’re a clever one.
Heyang:
Cause cooking with your mom when you take the helm of the ship from her, or even attempt to try to do that…
Ryan:
That’s mutiny on the highest level. You’re gonna walk the plank.
Heyang:
So many of us, I think, when we were the little ones, we naturally felt that mum’s cooking is the best in the world. It is better than three-star-Michelin restaurants. But when we grow older, and we realize maybe we can put things into perspective a little bit.
Ryan:
Especially noodles, dishes aside, but cookies. The fond memories are the peanut butter cookies, mom. I’ll never forget. They were delicious, thank you.
Heyang:
And on the heels of mother’s day, I just want to say no matter what moms cook, we are happy to receive them.
