What food do you think is better when store bought as opposed to homemade?

brainybrunette · July 2014

At first I was going to say that nothing beats homemade. Then, I thought about it, and came up with puffed pastry. I've never made it myself because Food Network tells me that it's not worth the crazy time consuming process and that store bought it the way to go.

A Cuban dish I like called Ropa Vieja. H and I have tried to make it like 5 times, using different recipes, tweaking ones we've already tried and we can never get the correct flavor.

Muffins... I can make good muffins but I have such a hard time perfecting a streusel topping. Plus atore bakery muffins and so big!!

Oh and any type of Indian food is better out. Everything is so tedious about Indian food to me.

I'll second puff pastry. File under "aint nobody got time for that."

@minionlover‌ , I've got a recipe for chicken tikka masala that cooks in the crockpot and tastes just as good as the restaurant version. It doesn't ALL have to be tedious!

As for my own answer...pizza. H and I make our own sometimes, but it's never the same.

@pockysquirrel‌ - could I please have that recipe. DH and I LOVE chicken tikka masala!!

I third the puff pastries. My grocery store sells the most amazing eclairs I've ever had! There's no way I'd ever be able to make them as good.

Thank you!! I can't wait to try it.

I had an answer for this from recent experience. Bread bowls.
I constantly get them if H and I go to Panera. We attempted making them ourselves while home the one day. Nope. Too yeasty for my liking.

Crab cakes. I cannot ever get a recipe that stays together well and they are a lot of work.

I think the only thing that tests better store bought is cream filled croissants dipped in chocolate...only because I haven't attempted to make them myself yet! I consider myself a pretty good cook so I prefer to make as much as possible.

Pizza!!
