There are few things more particular to us than our taste in food. For every person who finds a mushroom-based dish to be paradise, there is another individual who can't stand the idea of putting something like that in their mouth. Personal preferences are one of many reasons that it is so helpful to at least have basic cooking skills, otherwise, it can sometimes be difficult to cater to what we prefer in a way that is reasonably healthy and low cost. It also enables us to have a much more visceral reaction to cooking memes, because we know in detail the pleasure and the pain of hashing it out in the kitchen. Not every recipe is going to be success in a technical sense or in the sense of our likes and dislikes, but that won't stop us from relating to the silly internet humor that can go along with it.
