/ck/ - Food & Cooking

>attempt to cook for new coworkers to make positive impression
>start with some adobo, they like it
>try mapo tofu next, they still like it
>some guy from another area heard about my cooking, says he's down to try something weirder
>serve him soy sauce-preserved egg yolk in onigiri, which I had been snacking on for a bit
>he didn't like the taste
>he handled it like a champ, we talked a bit about tastes, culinary influences, etc.
>but folks who I didn't serve my food to think I deliberately served him something and gave him food poisoning (he was fine, took a bite, decided he didn't like it, spat it back out)
>Apparently all I do is force people to eat my deadly, awful cooking
>I just wanted to make a nice impression on my co-workers
Fucking shoot me. I just wanted to try and be nice.
