Self made dishes taste better?

Just because I made it doesn't make it taste better; I just don't make food I don't like That said, I almost always prefer homemade with the exceptiosn of fine dining at a restaurant or for certain ethnic foods.

The hard work you put into it always makes it taste better.

Only because my partner, friends and I are such exceptional chefs!

Depends.

I feel like I've made better meals than a lot of fast food places, but when I go to fast food places that charge like $8-10(+) a plate, they do better than I do.

If it's like a $1 burger or taco or something, I'm positive I could do better than them. I think it has a lot to do with amount paid toward ingredients, as opposed to solely relying on the cook

Not always. There are some dishes that I can't recreate at home no matter how hard I try.

It depends on the dish. Obviously ethnic dishes aren't always as good

Depends on the dish. I think everything tastes better when it's homemade or cooked at home (as opposed to packaged food), but some things I prefer to order in a restaurant or think they taste better when someone else cooks them.

Self made is always the best, but that is only because I know exactly what I like.
