mystery meat

i don't want to complain,
but i have
to say that
she wasn't a good cook.
i think her mother
passed down
her skills, which were
none.
boiling water was a challenge.
but she wanted to
make it a real home
like the ones she saw
on tv when growing
up and tried to cook.
some families
pray before a meal,
but i prayed afterwards.
a dish was never
placed on the table
without me asking her,
what is it?
