| In way too many to count occasions, one girl in an anime can't cook to save her life, and makes something inedible. I mean, they aren't 10 year old childs (even some 10 year olds can cook better). Even the most clumsy people can make simple stuff. But these characters not only isn't able to make the most simple of foods, but even creates something that makes you puke just looking at it... And how do a lot of characters burn stuff so easily? Is it that hard to turn off or lower the fire? *shrugs* |

Everyone says anime is getting worse and nothing compares to the greats;  I say anime never stops getting better |
Cakedog said: Believe it or not there are people out there who put taco sauce on bananas and call it food. That is at least edible. Different taste but edible. You might puke eating it but some people like the taste. But this is different in anime, they DON'T make edible stuff. |
kamisama751 said: Because food in real life are most probably burned if you cook them. I don't think I understand you. If you mean some crisp, I am talking about completely burning the food in anime, like everything turns black. |
| And that shit is worth making a thread about? You got problems dude... |
 |
| I dunno man if you followed the league pro scene a few years back Dyrus almost burned down a house trying to use a microwave. Some people are legitimately that stupid. In anime sure the trope is dumb when it's repeated constantly without bringing up something new but they only became a trope because it was funny when it was first brought up (or the japanese still think it's funny). |
| It's a anime cliche, it represents a clumsy character since it's a gender stereotype that all girls or women should be able to cook. |
| "Because people don't have wings.. We look for ways to fly." |
| Yeah seeing as soy sauce is a common Asian ingredient, things will turn black if you add them liberally. Also, it's not hard to burn food. My bro managed to cook burnt eggs and that's as simple as it gets. |
| I thought this was gonna be about an actual troupe. |
 |
| I have a terrible Pop-Tart story. Burnt to a crisp, pure black, smoke coming from the microwave, fumes all over a public cafeteria and having to open all doors and windows. Anyone can mess up easy food.

| If ur look for a *realistic* approach on stuff like cooking n sht...ur looking at the wrong place buddy Only Shokugeki no Souma can help you here |
| joke? idk, i mean in real life there's also alot of people burn their food, (not to the point of anime but still) And anime like to exaggerate stuff, so there's that. |

| 1) The basics of bad cooking is putting the food on fire and leaving to do something else. 2) The second option is to go over your ability as you try to impress somebody with your cooking, or just trying to replicate a recipe from anime. 3) Of course, it's easy to mess up with spices and make something hard to eat. 4) Salvaging something that didn't work out right is an advanced trick. Beginners are better off just throwing the stuff away. 5) A number of girls I have met IRL claim to be unable to cook or bad at cooking. But only anime characters can make food so bad it opens a portal to hell and attempts to take over the world. |
| Maybe because anime isn't the same as the real world (I'll give you a chance to gain your senses I know that can be a lot to take in) Don't get too worked up over comical gags lmao the advantage of anime as a media is that it has much much more creative freedom to do whatever the hell it wants even if what it wants is the most unrealistic thing ever. |

Its just the Lethal Chef trope and its played for comedy: And sometimes its to make someone look cute  When characters put tons of effort just to make something delicious for somebody and fail over and over again its just adorable |
| Anime isn't based in real life, it's based in RPGs. This is what happens when someone with low cooking skill points tries to craft something that requires a higher level. |
 |
| is just moe.. just look at that homer simpsons gif above |
 |
| It exists because it's endearing. You have a girl trying to showcase her skills only to be complete shit at it and a guy who finds it sweet but is considerate enough to tell the person that her cooking is serviceable. |

You might puke eating it but some people like the taste. But this is different in anime, they DON'T make edible stuff. That's because it's animated. Animation isn't edible... But seriously, the animation medium is exaggerating all the time. That's what it's good at, that's what it's for. What else is new? |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| There is always gonna be people who can't cook, no matter how hard they try. I knew several people like that. It's not as if it's an unrealistic character troupe |
 "The sun is my enemy, but the moon has been good to me." |
| Probably because its considered cute if a girl tries sooooooooooo hard for the MC but still fails and promises to become better in her cutest voice only for you of course ;) but all jokes aside it really makes no sense. Yukiko from Persona 4 who is literally the daughter of the Inn owner can't cook shit for her life I don't really understand it either |
Aww, I was going to post the same gif. You gotta be a real Pro to be able to burn corn flakes like that, I'd call that skills and Homer Simpson sure has it |
Futari wa Milky Holmes was a mistake Yoshii did nothing wrong |
| If I was clever I'd make a joke out of the use of 'troupe.' |

Is it that hard to turn off or lower the fire? *shrugs* Not trying to be rude here, but I think it's because of the notion that woman is generally the cook of the family, the one that does the house stuff, and girls that are skilled in this kind of stuff are prone to become good wifes... If the japanese hold, or used to hold that belief in old Japan, this "shit cooking" trope might be a way to give the message: skill wise, she is not fit to be wife, but she still exceeds in being waifu material because of her determination to please her love, among other good qualities". |
