(As someone pointed out, that's what Americans say whenever they don't like something, whether it's food or something else.) Otherwise, they tend to praise what I made, whether it's chocolate raspberry truffle ice cream, salmon souffle, fried rice, plum pudding, Turkish rice dishes, devil's-food cake, crepes suzette, etc. Yes, I've made all of those.
