20 percent of men think their other half is a terrible cook

One in ten men secretly HATE their wife’s cooking, according to new research.

Researchers polled British couples and found as many as 20 percent think their other half is a terrible cook – with a further 60 percent saying that they are frequently dished up meals they would describe as hugely disappointing.

According to the poll, almost a quarter (22 percent of women) said their husband or partner is a shocking cook, while more than one in ten men complained that their wife or partner’s meals were simply not up to scratch.

But in a typically British fashion, most of us are too polite to complain, with over half of women (52 percent) putting on a brace face night after night – and 58 percent of men keeping their dislike of their other half’s dishes on the down low.

Overall, a quarter of those polled (27 percent) said their partner is so delusional when it comes to his or her cooking skills – they even fancy themselves as a contestant on Masterchef or the Great British Bake Off.
