My cousin brought a whole premade Thanksgiving meal to my house except turkey.
She didn't listen when I told her I'd be cooking all day making everything from scratch.
She then paraded around like she was our savior for bringing premade shit, making sure she mentioned it every 5 minutes.
Unfortunately I killed the mood by telling her to STFU and take her food with her.
She was always extra but I could've kept my cool a lot better

We invited some friends over for dinner and made spaghetti (I was poor then) used some reasonably good spaghetti sauce. The guy was absolutely astounded by the taste and couldn't believe how good it was. He was absolutely floored. I asked him later "what was that all about" he said his girlfriend always made spaghetti with plain tomato sauce.

Another sister came over one day for a get together and made burgers. She said she did it this way all the time:

She takes ALL the leftover spices from her pantry that she hadn't used in a long time and mixes them in to the hamburger.

Shit was the saltiest nastiest tasting hamburgers I ever had. Then she left all the extras with us. The next day I tried eating one again and it was horrible. I just through all of it out. complete waste of 2 or 3 pounds of cooked burger patties.

I didn't make the food but I went to a family gathering for thanksgiving and instead of the traditional turkey and sides it was homemade Chinese buffet style.
Thinking back on it now, I think it was a stupid decision, even if it was done "by scratch" because even I as a half-breed sometimes struggle with shit like fried rice or whatever. Anyway, the main dish was wonton dumpling soup. Usually most people would know to blanch/pre-boil your fresh wontons to help cook the wonton wraps but my in-laws who made the dinner didn't know that and served everybody raw wontons, essentially.
My fiance and I seemed to be the only ones who noticed and/or even had issues with that dinner.

I worked with an Iraqi kid who was telling us about how awesome Dolmas are and that his family made the best.

IF you don't know, dolmas are some random crap wrapped in grape vine leaves.

And they tasted just as good as that sounds. They were horrible. I took 5 and it took all my will power to gag them down. no one else took more than 5, one guy flat up told him they looked and smelled like shit.

he ended up taking most of them home.

I forced a second bite of the lasagna down, had a piece of "garlic" bread and a drink and headed upstairs without saying anything. When I came down the next morning apparently my dad was super cool about the whole thing, nobody else liked the lasagna and he too was upset how she just kinda threw us under the bus with the salad thing all the while coddling my half brother.
It was worse than the also infamous "Scrambled Eggs and Yams Thanksgiving", although that one was unironically good just because how much of a joke my dad and I played it off as, and it was only us two that year.

My dad and I pride ourselves in being pretty decent home cooks. I also have this one ultra annoying uncle who comes around every once in a while. The last time he did he decided to buy some ready-made supermarket fish dinner. It was horrendous but he tried to go on and on about how great it was so he didn't have to admit it was a fucking awful idea.
He hasn't visited us since and I hope it's because he realized that by praising this ready-made trash he's indirectly insulted everything we'd ever cooked for him.

So here's the reality of the situation. When I was 8, I tried dolmas and didn't like them. I had the same complaints as you, they were slimy, oily, and didn't have a good taste.
Well, 12 years later I gave them another shot.
I tried them because they just seemed strange to me, how could someone like these? And wa la. They were delicious. I was floored.
Dolmas are really wonderful. So simple, just grape leaves stuffed with rice, and so wonderful. The flavors are distinct and satisfying. The texture of the grape leaves is perfectly contrasted by the loose rice. A great snack.

When I learned how to make peanut butter, I got excited and inordinately proud of it. It happened that a week after that was a family gathering for my grandmother's 85th birthday where we were encouraged but not required to bring a dish. So I baked some bread and made peanut butter sandwiches with home made peanut butter, thinking I was going to impress everybody.

When I arrived I saw my sister walking in with a beautiful looking trifle and some mini quiches. I immediately realised that bringing peanut butter sandwiches was fucking retarded. There's nothing fancy about putting peanuts in a blender. I left them in the car and told everyone I'd been too busy to bring anything.

I tried one of my sandwiches the next day. It tasted like I'd forgotten to put salt in the dough.

My best friend's stepdad made pizole with lamb in it once. The motherfucker was so proud to offer it to me, but it smelled like a backed up toilet. I'm not a pussy when it comes to food, so I actually got a bowl and started in on it. It tasted exactly like it smelled: hot fucking sewage. It was the worst thing I ever ate, but I managed to put away two bites before kind of just awkwardly walking away, and driving home.
