There are a few life skills that everyone should have.
Being able to swim.
You never know when you might need to.
Being able to drive a manual car.
Even if you don’t own one or have a daily need for one.
But perhaps the most basic and important life skill is being able to prepare food for yourself and your family.
The type of person that readily admits to not being able to cook or who is a self confessed bad cook is a cunt.
A coherent family is a thing of the past, with all children and most parents permanently glued to their mobile phones or watching some shit on the television.
Conversation is all but lost.
The daily ritual of gathering around the table to share a home prepared meal has now gone down the shitter.
Instead whole families go to cheap burger joints, sometimes several times a week to eat crap.
Many don’t even venture inside these places as that would be far too much bother.
So instead they use the drive-through and eat the rubbish that they have brought in their cars.
If they are going to eat at home then their food is delivered in cardboard boxes by an illegal immigrant on a moped.
They then sit on the settee, around the television to eat the stuff.
There will come a time when the family table becomes redundant and homes will be built without kitchens.
Mrs Cunter went to stay with her brother and his fat, lazy wife.
There was fuck all in their kitchen except sweets and crisps.
The fridge had nothing in except bars of chocolate.
Everything they wanted to eat was delivered, including coffee to drink.
For them it was not a question of not being able to cook, they just couldn’t be bothered.
We eat out a few times a week.
Nowhere that does fast food.
The rest of the time we buy fresh food and prepare it at home.
The last time I went to a fast food restaurant was in the UK when McDonald’s opened their take away on Kensington High Street.
That was back in the 70’s.
And it was shit.
I have lived where I am for decades and I have never had food delivered or even brought a ready meal from a supermarket.
That’s because cooking is easy.
There are millions of recipes on the Internet.
It’s fun to look up a new way of preparing something you fancy, sourcing the ingredients and cooking them.
You can get a lot of satisfaction from preparing and sharing food.
Can’t Cook?
So you can’t look after yourself or your family, you can’t follow a simple set of instructions which is a recipe, or perhaps you are just a lazy cunt?

I agree .
I can cook like a motherfucker.
Sunday roasts
Egg n chips
Shepherds pie
Fish pie
Like that Popeye looking cunt Ramsey,
I enjoy swearing in the kitchen.
But my face isn’t all wrinkled like a walnuts ball bag.
22
Can’t cook foreign shite though.
Open a tin of spaghetti hoops and chuck some snails in.
Sorted.
15
“ We eat out a few times a week.” Christ. I reckon me and my family eat out between 5 and 10 times a year. Packed lunch on days out, fuck giving some cunts £30+ for shite.
19
I’m sorry if that sounded a bit flash FC but you have to bear in mind where I live.
We can go out and have an excellent 3 course Chinese meal, with drinks for less than 30 euros.
And we don’t use chopsticks as that would be the height of cuntishness.
We rarely go to restaurants that cook anything that we can easily make at home as there seems little point.
Wandering from bar to bar, having a drink in each and helping ourselves to the free tapas is a very cheap option.
We will push the boat out a few times during the year on special occasions.
9
You lead an enviable life, at least within the sphere of culinary experience. Consider yourself cunted, in a nice way of course and nothing to do with me being jealous.
3
If you can read, you can cook. Easy.
I fucking love both.
10
Sign of intelligence Cuntis, reading.
Books, obviously, not staring at a fckn screen.
Cooking to a standard that is more than acceptable for family life is not a skill, it’s a technique. Just follow the instructions, no hesitation, deviation or repetition, result.
6
Being able to read though does not mean you can cook. I know of this bird, now in her early 40s studying for an M.A. in English Literature, that would struggle if she bothered to boil an egg!
2
‘Being able to read does not mean you can cook’.
It should do.
2
Due to being unable to cook with arthritic hands, I travel into outer space by rocket and float around eating tablets with the names of my favourite foods printed on them.

We’re used to seeing it the other way round, Sam. These white nosy bastards deserve all they get.

Agreed. I can cook just about anything. Usually it’s good, sometimes it’s shite but that’s the fun. No great skill to it, make it up as you go along and eat what you create.
I like going out to eat at decent places too but always seem to end up sat next to a table full of pissed screechy women who get louder by the glass as they screech over each other. Fucking ignorant peasants.

Don’t forget the appallingly behaved snot-faced kids running around squealing and knock8ng things over, while their invariably obese chav parents stuff themselves stupid.
5
It’s all part of the dining experience, Termy.
If I possibly can, I trip one of the little shits up as they run past.
Timing is all, I do try to get them to fall into a chair or table leg. Nowt like a bloody nose to remind them that manners count, and running about while I’m eating is bad manners.
4
Good tip JP, thanks.
I have actually asked to speak to the manager, halfway through my meal with my lady at a not-cheap restaurant, explaining that if he did not require other guests to control their children, and themselves, and prevent them from ruining other guest’s meals, I would be leaving immediately without paying the full bill.
Interesting fact. If you have a complaint about the quality of the meal, service etc, pay what you think it was worth and leave.
Because you have paid, something, Police cannot get involved as it becomes a civil dispute over trade descriptions.
8
That’s interesting, I think I might look into that.
3
I know this is correct JP as I have actually done it, Police were called and I was free to leave.
Don’t forget to leave your name and address for any court papers to be sent to (they won’t, waste of time) and you are golden.
6
I can both swim AND cook.
Although not at the same time.
13
Never been a fan of getting cold and wet. Never seen the point.
I keep away from open water because I can swim like a brick.
In what way is getting soaking wet, freezing cold, knackered and endangering one’s life enjoyable?
6
Fully agree Termy. Pointless, like jogging.
3
Very sensible Arfur.
2
I enjoy cooking, but more in colder weather.
A lovely warm kitchen on a cold day, making a chunky soup or batch cooking savoury pies for the freezer.
When it’s nice weather, I’d rather be outdoors, and I don’t have much of an appitite for hot food, either.
The wok tends to get used a lot in summer.
6
You and me both JP.
I cooked a goose and a turkey crown on BBQ Christmas morning. Dead easy as the BBQ has a lid and temperature gauge and with a bit of squeezing I got them both to fit in. We are fortunate in having a large porch at the side of the house so I wouldn’t have been caught in the rain but we had a sunny day so no problem.
I enjoy cooking, I find it quite therapeutic.
4
Me too, Wanksock.
Taking a peeler to a carrot and imagining it’s the face of that rude twat at Morrisons last week, that tried to push in front of me, until she saw the size of Younger.
2
Life is too short to peel a carrot JP.
Wash the orange fuckers, cut off the ends and cook, preferably in a steamer so at least they have some taste.
Either that, or when you see carrot in the recipe, leave them out.
4
I actually like carrots, Art, although I prefer those little Chantanay ones, them I dont peel, I roast them.
Ordinary supermarket carrots I peel, for hygiene reasons.
4
Obviously, a colonial might have touched them.
6
I once swan and had a meal with Peter Cook. Does this count?
10
Never had swan, but I imagine it tastes similar to eagle?
6
More like pelican!
4
Both very gamey , Termy.
Avoid unless you like kangaroo kidney and wombat liver.
3
Swam not swan, you cunting phone.
4
Does it on purpose, Bob.
It’s a cunning Chinese plot to make you feel worthless, so you’ll do the job for 10 yen less than previously.
Say “haro” to Mr. Chan, your new master, ahem I meant boss.
3
The Lass is encouraged to cook once a week for herself, Elder and hubby, and it has to be from scratch, no packet mixes or jars of pre-made sauces.
She stayed with me recently while Elder was on holiday, and made pizza, including the dough for the base.
Absolutely delicious.
5
When I first left my parents home, I had to learn to cook, otherwise, I would have starved to death as my first wife could have burned a pan of water and I couldn’t afford to eat out or order takeaway. Many years on, I love to cook, it’s a basic human requirement in my opinion. People who can’t or won’t make the effort are just lazy cunts and, come the apocalypse, they’ll all be even more fucked!
But, worse than those who can’t cook, are those cunts who’ve watched a cooking show on TV and will not be happy to just just cook you a nice meal so you can all sit around a table and enjoy each other’s company. No, the wankspangles will have to describe in minute, attention seeking detail how they made the meal (from a recipe) and throw in words like “reduction”, “confit”, “Jus” and “emulsion” to make it sound like they’re Egon Fucking Ronay or something, made even worse when they’ve only made egg and chips.
12
I agree with all this – if you tell someone something as simple as, I made my other half a birthday cake, you get looked at like you came down from Outer Space.
We make all meals from scratch at my home, and as they often then last 2 or 3 days, it saves us time as well. As we are both pushing 60, we decided to give as many processed foods as possible the push this year, not that we ever had many. We grow quite a bit of fruit and veg as well, which helps.
One thing that always surprises me is, when you invite people round for a meal, and try to find out what they would like, they always seem to say something like Shepherds Pie, or rice pudding, steamed pudding with golden syrup etc. It’s almost as if people can admit they don’t really like the fancy stuff, if they know you well enough.

I once went swimming and caught my dinner, never got to cook it as the local aquarium called the police on me.
I bet Jacques Cousteau never had that problem.
10
One of the many delights of wreck diving was the occasional opportunity to bag a dozen FRESH scallops on the exit swim. Had a big fuck off zipped cargo pocket stitched onto the leg of me drysuit for just that purpose ,… yummers!

You lucky sod!
I love scallops.

I wouldn’t say Mrs Twatt is a bad cook, but she uses the smoke alarm as a timer.

Nothing wrong with a nutritious salad 🍅🥬🧅🥒🥗….no cooking and gas/leccy bill 🫰….a tad boring after a while, but one that keeps you in with the eco green crowd and on trend….ok ya 🆒 🧘♂️
7
There’s no such thing as a “nutritious salad”, unless it’s got loads of seafood or chicken in it!
Oh, and them nice crunchy croutons, too, and a basket of bread with real butter on the side.
3
And chips. And gravy.
5
Indeed!
3
Beans on Toast, with the best silverware obviously 😉
I never get a delivered meal, pointless paying for something i can cook for a fraction of the price, I have to confess to the occasional ready meal from Tesco but if didn’t I wouldn’t be a cunt
Pasta tonight just to show that I don’t hate Italians.
7
You see all the cunts in FuckDonalds sitting there staring at their phones.
No phones allowed at the table here, or fucking baseball caps.
Wife is an ace cook.
9
The guests in my love dungeon are very complimentary about my culinary abilities on the odd occasion I remember to feed them.
They blubber their thanks as I push a small bowl of stew through a small hatch welded into the bars.
The only complaint I ever got was a MILF who recognised the tattoo previously ardorning her daughter’s shoulder after I neglected to be thorough enough with the de-boning/mincing machine.
She ate it in the end though.
It was that or expire from malnutririon.

Well Cea,
That’s probably true (but I wouldn’t believe Wikipedia if they told me the Sun rose in the east every morning).
However, it’s the expressed sentiment that’s important. Some in Europe…Poland, Hungary, Ireland are staring to realize what a colossal disaster the EU immigration policy has been.
I know it’s hard for the “leaders” of the EU to believe but some people don’t want to live in a Caliphate with Sharia Law.
11
Oh wonderful… yet another sex offender running for high office!
😂
11
I just used the W quote for my convenience… and only because It’s 100% true.
An Irish president is just another cunt. Shaking hands and ceremonial junkets that type of thing. This current hopeful’s rhetoric will change nothing whatsoever. Better than a PRO-cunts cunt, but not by a lot in the real world and the fucking mess it’s in.
The Oirish everyman wants all the illegal cunts cleared out for sure. The shithole has plenty enough homegrown criminal scum withoutever having the need of importing more.
10
Hey Cea,
I believe you and meant no offense.
Wikipedia has come under major fire here in the states for it’s liberal bias and it’s deliberate distortion / omission of the facts.
I agree with you completely on the nature of the drunken, thieving, Fenian population on the Emerald Shithole.
Cromwell had the right approach to dealing with the filthy scum.
8
S-cB with the all too predictable TDS tainted response.
Obviously he has been reading Wikipedia or he would know those charges and so-called conviction were in a Kangaroo Court with a corrupt judge and certainly NOT with a jury of his peers.
It will undoubtedly be overturned.
7
If you mean the jury did not comprise of 12 martial arts fighters, then you’re correct.
9
Don’t know anything about Conor the Cunt’s troubles in his home country on the Emerald Shithole.
As you said “another” and I said TDS, I was specifically referring to Trump’s bogus conviction in New York.
5
You need to stop whining about that TDS of yours.
Worse than Diane Abbott bleating on about institutional white racism.
8
TDS refers to people like you with a blind, unreasoning hatred of Donald Trump. It is a mental illness.
You need to express an intelligent opinion before I consider taking advice from you.
8
There you go again… 🤣
9
I’ve gotten lazy in my old age and don’t cook near as much as I used to. But I am particularly fond of cooking with real fire and smoke.
I have 2 smokers and a variety of different types of wood chips for flavor. I have 3 different grills and always use natural wood charcoal.
Steaks and chops…chicken and ribs…basic stuff flavored with smoke, dry rubs and THEN the BBQ sauce (depending of course on what I’ve cooked).
I also roast vegetables on the grill…corn, potatoes, asparagus etc. and use steam for others like green beans, peas, sliced carrots etc.
I’m not much on desserts but I like go old school with percolated coffee to finish.
9
Sipping that coffee whilst reading the New Yorker and exchanging witticisms with the neighbours?
What a load of bollox. Your fat arse is wedged into a plastic table at Denny’s.
11
Full blown CDS on full display for all to see.
I could post the time and date and trigger these snowflake Trolls.
Absent expressing hate for me they have nothing to offer IsaC that is of any relevance let alone merit.

If you find the posters on here so despicable, but only those who don’t share your slavish devotion to the Donald and/or support every comment you make, well
Mumsnet is➡️ way.
7
I’ll add my tu’penneth.
Trump is quite obviously a clinical narcissist and, if left to his own devices, likekely to make irrational, dangerous even, decisions, which he vainly imagines proves to the world what a superior being he is. In short, he is a fucking twat.
Having said that, he’s hugely entertaining, not least because he constantly triggers leftist scum and at least he (appears) to be trying to MAGA, which should the first, last and only interest of POTUS.
A significant improvement on pædo Joe, which admittedly is not difficult.
8
In the little over 2 months he has been in office Trump has:
1. Closed the border and begun deporting Shitholians.
2. Put an end to the Wokeist policies that were destroying our nation. i.e. English as the official language. Only 2 sexes. No Trannies in women’s sports or the military. Etc.
3. Started peace talks to end the war in Ukraine with 2 of the biggest cunts on the planet. One who is just plain evil and the other is simply a shameless grifter.
4. Begun dismantling the deep State. i.e. USAID etc.
5. Begun rooting out Government waste. i.e. DOGE
6. Begun reversing the idiotic Green Raw Deal.
7. Is taking steps to make sure the EC (European Caliphate) pays a fair share of their own defense.
8. Begun taking steps to rectify horrific trade policies put in place by scum like Clinton and Obama.
9. Is trying to reverse the indoctrination of our children in public schools. i.e. dismantling the Federal Department of Education.
10. Brought back 2 stranded astronauts from space that Biden left to rot.
So yeah…I absolutely love everything he’s doing and I support him fully.
There are a few Cunters here with Stage 4 CDS. No matter what I say they go out of their way to insult, slight bait and Troll me. I object to them.
And there are a few dogmatic, thinking impaired cunters who just regurgitate the same old discredited MSM talking points about Trump. I object to them too.
And of course I object to the Trolls, the shit talkers, and the fearless keyboard warriors who really have nothing of any merit to contribute.
However, I respect the majority of the IsaC Faithful and have made that clear on multiple occasions. Even many of those I disagree with.
No cunter in the history of Isac has taken more abuse than me. Go ahead and attack me all you want. You can’t drive me away and you only make yourselves look like the idiots you truly are.
I’m going to keep posting about things as I see them.
To that end…
We have Trump and are Making America Great Again.
You have Keir and are spiraling into a Caliphate.
Truth hurts…innit.
14
Yes, but can he cook?

You have the nerve to refer to the IsAC community as keyboard warriors?
What does that make you, then?

I wasn’t attacking you General.
I wasn’t even attacking Trump. I’m merely spouting my ill-informed opinions about what I consider to be self evident about Trump – he’s a fucking idiot.
All politicians are liars, I don’t give a shit who he’s shagged so no points lost there with me.
I agree with a lot of what he says but disagree with the way he says it. He makes an ass of himself when, for example, he’s downright obnoxious to Zelensky on worldwide TV.
I’m certainly no fan of the war mongering mijit dictator Zelensky, I wouldn’t give him the steam off my piss, let alone billions of dollars, but I would make that clear to him IN PRIVATE. If Trump wasn’t so far up his own conceited arse he would have realised this is a more effective method of achieving what one wants.
It’s too early to tell what Trump will actually achieve, other than pissing Canada off. We’ll see. There are obviously very strong forces arrayed against him, both openly and secretively.
I was pissed off with him the first time, not for what he said he was going to do, but for failing to do it.
You are as entitled to your opinions as anyone else, I totally respect that, and where we disagree, if I can be arsed, I’ll tell you.

Hahaha hahaha 😂

That was for Mickey Blue eyes chair comment 😂

My case in point.
What part of “…I respect the majority of the IsaC Faithful…” do you not understand?
.
Typical pointless attack with a distortion of what I said.
Given the depths of your CDS JP I should be surprised.
5
Hey Termujin,
Didn’t mean to imply that I included you in my critique.
You are one of the people here that I always read. Sometimes you’re a bit out there (even for me) but I like your thought process and respect your point of view.
6
👍
Believe it or not General, I am for the most part restraining myself on this forum.
I think a lot of my views would make my namesake proud.
1
It’s defo more expensive than it used to be, but eating out round our way is still doable on a fairly regular basis.
I always found UK eating out options to be pretty poor unless you went seriously up market. Last time we visited the UK we ate at a pub. Food was basic pretty good to be fair. Mrs. Yank had the fish ‘n’ chips. Big piece of fish it was and a ton of proper chips. She eats like a bird, so wanted what she left ‘to go’. We forgot the UK doesn’t understand the concept of paying over the odds for food, not finishing everything on your plate then wanting to take the rest with you – since you fucking paid for it already!!!! We got a lecture about health & safety (no, I’m not kidding). Anyway, we insisted….got a face from our server and were given the rest wrapped up in tin foil. What a crock!
For those not in the know…..restaurants over here in Yankland just routinely have take-out boxes for your leftovers. It’s just the way it works. It makes economic sense too. The cost of the containers will be offset by people getting value for money by being able to enjoy all what they paid for and will more likely come back again because they enjoyed the food.
The UK just exhibits its usual poor service and F you attitude. Get in, sit down, shut up, order, eat the slop quickly, pay over the offs and fuck off. Next! How quaint.

When people ask what is my signature dish i always say alphabetti spaghetti. Coat on, cab waiting.

Dining out is always a problem when one is away in new places and after many miles of strolls and long walks seeking out something satisfying.
Usually one eventually comes to the conclusion, that the best one to the lot (restaurant) was just around the corner from where you were staying but one is flying home the next day.
5
I love using the slow cooker for casseroles (posh stew).
Launch everything into the pot by 11.00 on a Sunday morning and go out for the day.
By 18.00 dinner is ready.
Not sure how anyone can get this wrong. accept for forgetting to turn the slow cooker on. (guilty).
9
I’ve got a slow cooker, but she’s good in bed so I don’t moan about it.
11
Baddum tsh! 😂
I am truly blessed as the current Mrs Odin is Portuguese and spoils me rotten with fantastic home cooked dinners.
The ex Mrs Odin was Icelandic and thought that pasta and ketchup was a decent meal.
She also had the ability to burn water.
I did most of the cooking in that relationship.
5
How many ways can she cook a sardine?

Another example of what’s gone wrong with country and government’s indifference to the problem.
Despite their whining, the cunts who have fast food delivered clearly have too much money and are fucking lazy bastards!
We are told that as a nation we are a bunch of fat cunts and that ‘diabetes is crippling the NHS’, well how about banning the likes of deliveroo and uber eats as a start.
At least you’d have to get your lardy arse off the sofa and get yourself to the takeaway…
You’d also, at a stroke, remove the ability for sand filth and other illegal scum to earn a crust whilst flouting every motoring law in the land…
Of course it’s never going to happened because the twats in charge need every penny they can get, including the VAT on your next chicken masala…
If you can’t cook you should be shown how an oven works – from the inside!
7
Those cunts who pay way over the odds for a Tesco Whoosh bag are no better.
Yeah, it has express delivery and arrives within the hour. But the bloody price of it….
Why can’t the lazy arsed sods go to their local shop? Even in my state, I still like to be self sufficient and go there myself.
6
If they closed down KFC. The towns of the UK would look like scenes from Zulu.
6
You don’t actually think the average kebab shop and curry house is accurately declaring the VAT, do you?
6
This nom puts me in mind of the wretched Olive in On The Buses.
She gets a job as a cook at Stan’s bus depot canteen.
Needless to say, there are fires, inedible shit, appliances damaged….
6
Although it is a known fact that all real men can cook, it must be remembered that baking is the exclusive choice of homosexuals.
There is something very wrong about a man that enjoys baking cakes.
It’s a sure sign of póóféry.
What do they do with the fairy cakes that they make?
Nobody can eat more than a few, so they must invite their bender friends round to try them.
And that would obviously lead to a bumming session.
The dirty bastards.
9
Now, now Art.
I make bread, it’s baking and not for whimps. The muscle power required to knead the bread, fuck me!
However did them women manage before Mother’s Pride?
4
I will make an exception to the curious sexuality of men that bake bread.
Since time began it was always men that did the bread baking. A bit like being in charge of the barbecue, it’s a manly thing.
Pointless, as there are plenty of bakers where you can buy all sorts of bread very cheap.
Whatever floats your boat.
2
I think it’s fair to say that microwave cooking has led to a decline in moral standards and very likely caused the Wuhan Flu as well as Rachel Reeves.
Always use the Oven.
Safety first,Bolshies last.
Thank you.

They should be called ‘Dangerous Levels of Radiation Ovens’.
5
They’re are only dangerous really Termy if you bypass the interlock switch on the door then put your head inside and switch it on. I know this has been done on several occasions in the States and the poor misguided have been blinded or had their brains fried.
3
Using a microwave isn’t cooking, but they are handy for warming up last nights curry leftovers for breakfast!
3
One demerit for eating that filthy shite.
3
I comfort myself, Norman, with the knowledge that, when society inevitably breaks down, and it’s every man for himself I will be either
Dead, or
Still able to butcher a sheep and cook it without burning the outside and leaving the rest raw.

Great nom Artful. As someone who doesn’t cook and has the swimming ability of a c00n I guess I rate as a double-cunt. I drive a manual car though so at least I don’t make a triple. As regards the cooking, since I can read fairly well I must rate as a lazy cunt. In my defence my wife was professionally trained in cooking for two years by Mr Rose and M Tissier, a genuine Frenchman. (With his accent when he said crêpes suzette it sounded like crap suzette much to the English students’ amusement.) She knocks up meals which would put some high end restaurants to shame and I never had any incentive to learn. I heartily agree with other points you make. When I was working we had a contract with McDonald’s and KFC. Us field engineers were routinely offered free food by both. I tried both once. It seemed near fucking poisonous to me and I always refused afterwards, said I’d just eaten or something. Even the coffee was rough. Your point about the vanishing dining table is accurate. I know for a fact that large numbers of Brits no longer have such an item of furniture and eat off a tray in their lap in front of the tele. Wouldn’t suit me.
Keep ’em coming Artful.
