I gotta ask as I've seen these kind of memes too often, is not cooking an American thing? I've never met someone in Norway who doesn't know how to cook normal meals from raw ingredients.

From my experiences, I think most people know how to cook a few dishes. But many people only cook on holidays or special occasions. Otherwise, it's mostly boxed dinners, meal kits, frozen food, take-out, or drive-thru. A lot of people feel they don't have time to cook and clean afterwards. I really only started cooking when I became vegan.

I love cooking! I am too busy most days. I don’t think Americans, in general, are opposed to cooking, though.
