Do you prefer home-cooked food or outside food?  email this discussion to a friend?

I eat home-cooked food pretty much everyday and those who don't get to do so would call me lucky. Yet sometimes, I just feel like eating out for a change.

Yet when I start to eat out for many consecutive days, I start to yearn for a particular home-cooked dish, then another and then...

Humans are just that strange - the grass always seems greener on the other side. But that's just me. How about you? Do you prefer home-cooked food or outside food?

I'd like to go out for a meal once in awhile but I prefer my own cooking. I stay away from fast foods though. It may not sound nice, but sometimes the people that work in those places don't look too clean.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

I used to say I rather have "normal" food outside than fast food. But recently, I don't know why but I keep thinking of fast food. Must be going mad... w00t

I know I shouldn't but sometimes laziness set in and it`s just easier to get take out and get home from a hard day at work , convenient, yes, healthy, well, no. I think also it`s our society! we can`t even turn on the TV without seeing a fast food ad or a deal on something, 2 for one or more burger for your buck ! It really is crazy if you stop to think about it.

I always preffer a home cooked food rather than outside food , I dont' even know how they cook the food if they wash the food before they cook it, I'm very carefull choosing outside food to eat all I want is a cleanliness in the way of cooking I rather cooked by myself than to anyone.

I guess you can actively search for more "respectable" eating places...

I prefer home-cooked food mainly because it is cheaper. Besides, I would be sure of what the ingridients are. I don't know in other countries, but here in my place, a lot of preservatives and food seasonings are added by take-out or dine-out food outlets to make their products more palatable. And these are bad for health, doctor. right?


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

You are right that it is cheap to cook yourself and you can choose to leave our MSG and kind.

I prefer to eat home-cooked food instead of outside. Fact is that my Mom is a kitchen queen, and so is my other family members. However occasionally we take outside foods as well.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

Your mum is a great chef? How lucky! :P

hi lordwarwizard, I dont prefer one over the other, it just depends on the circumstances. My husband and me both love cooking so its no "chore" for us we try to avoid. We are both creative and like to cook from scratch, sometimes we change convenience products to our tastes.

But eating out here and there when the finances permit also is great. We do that when we want to have a dish which is too fussy to make or we just cant fix at home. When we go out I never eat something I could also have at home.






myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

Cooking couple! Does that mean good food everyday? w00t



myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (15047)   ranked 1,365 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

hi lordwarwizard, it means good food for weekends. As I come home no sooner than 8:30 pm on workdays sometimes 9:45 pm no time for cooking during the work week, but plenty of time to do that on weekends.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

Then I would look forward doubly so to the weekends if I were in your family!


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (15047)   ranked 1,365 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

we look forward to that too not only because I dont have to work then but because cooking is no work but very relaxing.......


myLot reputation of 56/100. yiranmengyi (114)   ranked 18,088 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

I can't agree to you anymore.Circumstances change,so as the preferences.It's circumstances that make us do so.We have no other choice.However,if burdening no presure,I prefer home-cooking for the reason that it's much more delicious and healthful.


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

You say that because you cook well! w00trasp

Home cooked by a long shot lordwizard.
But now and again, the temptation of the eating out is overpowering if you do have the funds to do so.
For instance, when my son arrives here to me, I will take him to the Country Buffet and the Stripers Inn, and who knows where else?
Wonderful variety of food for the buffet and the Stripers is the seafood castle! Happy Eating to you my Wizard! xo Whad id do wiz? hahahahah xo


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

Yea, good point. If we have the money, we can certainly dine in fine restaurants all day long or hire top chefs to prepare home-cooked food for us at home.

I prefer home-cooked food mainly because it is what I love. Outside food is not so healthy and clean. I would like to cook by mysele if I have free time. And I like to cook porridge which is my favorite food. LOL


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

Oh yea, outside food is usually not too healthy (so my mama says :P)

My wife is an awesome cook and I love helping her out in the kitchen and eating home food. We do eat out about 1-2 times a week when we try out specific foods - but nothing as good and healthy as home food!


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

That's cool - going out to try new stuffs from time to time! w00t

When I was in high school,I prefer eating outside.However,now I am studying in another city which is rather far away from my hometown.Most of the students here eat in the mess hall.Tasty is the last word to describe the food there.Now,I really miss the food my mother make for me~


myLot reputation of 95/100. lordwarwizard (10616)   ranked 317 out of 28,060 in life  2 years ago

Well, you can cook yourself if there is a pantry/kitchen there. happy
