    all true in many homes.
    Eating together requires someone in the home to be the sergeant major type, and put down the law... that when she says it is dinner time, everybody obeys. Children eating with TV or mobile or earbuds is the parents' fault.

    :hello:It looks like the query is posed to ladies for answer.

    With the way people queue in for admission to hotel management and catering technology, I feel the question to be rephrased as whether food would be a tool to win another person’s loyalty (read love). Or and whether good cooking wife would be sought as a life partner?!

    Men the world over are becoming celebrity chefs and palatable food making is no longer lady’s domain. With the way women are embellishing board rooms, the roles of men & women are either reversed or shared: and over the years, husband and spouse have turned equal partners in all geographies.


    2. In indian marriages or in arranged marriages, do men turn henpecked husbands if their wives are excellent cooks?

    Presumption is ok: it could be far and few between ; and in real world, it may not be so. Spouse may be an excellent chef but the man -read husband - has several other attractions which are to be factored in to evaluate the strength of love between partners read husband and spouse.

    3. Their may be some exception, this is about the majority of men who enjoy and appreciate wife's cooking style.

    Men barring a few would not bother to appreciate openly the good work at home by spouse. But in her absence, they would recall that good tasty food she prepared in good time served with love and that is the moment they realise her missing presence(!) & long for early return. If husband not appreciates then and there , it doesn’t mean he loves her less devoid of love.

    4. Women being an expert in cooking has any effects on relationships with immediate and extended families?
    All women in general can’t claim they cook perfect food. With numerous mouth watering varieties churned out in media by chefs and other culinary experts broadcasted in suitable hours so that working women too can watch and learn, women would find it difficult to learn absorb and try newer items to perfection.

    Routine food matching and agreeable to stomach of all the family members as in joint family, working women would find it, a tall order to cook perfect food all the time. Relationship depends on how she manoeuvres with known expertise to Provide varities to some and stereo-type to senior diet restricted in laws.

    (At the same time, I understand Samaithu par by MEENAKSHI AMMAL - the Bible for young housewife emigrated - has gone into twelfth edition or so I heard.)

    5. How good you are in cooking?

    It is a million dollars question. My answer lies in the link below:


    Humour - Me, Spouse, Her Dad And Stress In Pressure Cooker

    Thanks and Regards.
    God & gluttons loves and likes those who provide nourishing food served with affection.

    :hello:That’s for real. I love this statement.
    She was watching a chef’s programme and in between she asked me “ shouldWE try this one for breakfast?” With mouth watering I said yes.
    After a while, she went into kitchen, loudly asked me “is porridge ok! Ragi or oats?”
    Thanks and Regards

    :hello:With advent of gadgets and satellite soaps, there is hardly any togetherness in family homes. Mails or SMS sent and exchanged between members of family as what they like to be served in their rooms.
    2. When electricity goes off in the middle of night, then there was a possibility of get together for dinner. Now everyone join together but each is found busy texting.
    3. Modern comforts & gadgets generated disaffection.
    4. In many families, the members avoid sitting together to eat as the conversation among them turns into arguments leading to altercations; all of a sudden a member enquiring seemingly innocuous about something - the atmosphere turns vicious and stormy and some prefer to leave food halfway .
    Thanks and Regards.

    In BigBoss episodes on TV where the inmates of a house are devoid of TV or mobile phones, they are forced to cook, and then sit together as a "family" and eat their own cooking. Some of their cooking looks horrible. It must taste terrible too, from the way they are simply opening some plastic packaging, and sifting in the masala mix, or salt, without any measure. But then they all sit together to eat, and get by with whatever they can manage. It is a good thing that most of the chosen people for that 100day+ ordeal are chubby before the internment, and remain chunky until they are voted out of the house.
    In some new edition of BB in Telugu, Tamil or Hindi i wonder if they'd introduce daily weighing of contestants. MissX would come in at 60 kilos, and when she leaves after x weeks, she'd be 70 or 55 kilos. I would like to see that, and then see the list of foods she ate, and what activities (exercises) she did. Those idiot product placement people should see the marketing opportunities and go for weighing all the contestants every day.

    :hello:“Chubby & chunky” is a good original weighing idea to promote and brand related supplements. I think Big boss should take up this cue to enhance their reputation.
    Thanks and Regards.

    What about the way to a woman’s heart ? We love to eat too !
    It’s high time cooking is not looked up exclusively as a woman’s job in Indian families. Everyone needs to have basic cooking skills to survive, including Indian men.
    I remember during my times, girls were asked by default during the ladki - dekho ceremony “ Can you cook well ”? . All Indian women should now ask the ladka’s the same question.

    If there is power cut also there are inverter and mob torch equal to lights..there is no invention to eat
    Actually the main prob is starting here only...in olden days or up to 1990's most of the men don't know how to cook much...and they will enjoy the food cooked by there mother's or wife..now a days boys are staying away from home and they started cooking if they didn't successed in it it is ok if they passed in cooking they start to give suggestions in cooking how to make it...most of conflicts starting here only in some families,only once or twice they cook and start to give suggestions to us which make us angry...
    It's better men don't know how to cook it's my idea...
