My brother has a chap staying with him at the moment.
He's about 50, and has managed to reach that age with absolutely no dpomestic skills at all. He cannot iron (his 23 year old daughter comes round to do this for him) or cook. At all.

My brother was peeling some potatoes and he came over and asked him what he was doing. He didn't know how boiled potatoes were cooked.

Sounds "special"

In the cab office, there were a lot of greeks/turks who were like that.
They grew up with Ma' or Gran cooking, only left home when they got wives, ended up devorced and back at their ma's place... some of them got their sisters to come 'round and do it all for them too. I think it's quite pathetic to tell you the truth, some of them can put together an edible steak, but that's about it.

Which is really really strange considering how embedded food is into their culture.

Evidently sexism is pretty well embedded too.
