Mm, I get you. Especially in anime, it seems to be this stock thing where one of the girls can't cook at all, and the forcing-inedible-food-on-someone-too-nice-to-refuse leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

But, I don't mind if a character is a bad cook simply because they haven't had the opportunity to learn/practice because of life-- I just have to SEE that. The problem with the 'bad cook' thing is so often that you see this girl cooking EVERY DAY and never getting better at it, which is different from a character who simply has no time/energy to devote to cooking every day, but who would be perfectly competent at learning how if they tried.

It's the competence issue that's such a big part of it, when you see a character never getting better, like 'oh she's just kind of stupid tee-hee!', it's really irritating, whereas it's realistic for people to have different learning curves and to learn at different points in life. I just need to believe they CAN and WILL learn.

(I have FULLY written fanfic about characters learning how to cook...)
