I am not a good cook.
Don’t get me wrong, the end product is often delicious. The food on the plate is scrummy. Scrummy, I tell you. But the process involved to arrive at scrummy is an ugly explosion of lidless condiment bottles, stacked up sinks, and pots with the bottoms burnt out.
So I therefore know that am not a good cook, because I have witnessed good cooks a lot in my time. They are tidy, and organised, and have many types of tupperware (with matching lids).
What does all of this mean, friend?
What does our cooking style say about who were are as a human? What does that obliterated pot say about my ability to cope with time-sensitive tasks? Could it be possible there are personality types aligned with the way we prepare food?
Probably not, but we’ve gone ahead and made some sweeping assumptions – because why wouldn’t a narcissistic generation of navel gazers want to know what other people think of them, right?
Bon appetit.
THE SLOB
You are… the person who stands strong by the mantra, ‘I’ll cook, you clean’. Why? Because you have turned the kitchen into a Vesuvius of eggshells, flour, cheese graters, and parsley stalks. You do not clean as you go, because you are creating, goddammit.
Meaning...in real life, you have not yet mastered the art of a clean handbag, but you ARE the master of imagination. Creative, clever, but a little hasty; you’re the person people call when they need a job done. Unless it involves cooking.
