though mum has been faithfully and lovingly preparing meals at home (whenever we eat at home) i have more than once insensitively commented on food being too weird or bland, only to realize it too late... sigh, housewife really difficult to be sometimes... esp when the husband deems food too salty (when it isnt!) then daughter thinks food akin to that prepared for sick patients... but somehow realized after coming back that i seem to have taken a liking to food saltier/sweetier than what my family fancies... and today we went out for dinner and ordered cereal prawns (an all-time favorite! :P) i thought cereal prawns were too dry but parents thought not too oily just right... but it really is true that sometimes food that's more healthily prepared doesn't taste as good what... hehe of course i should also bear in mind to cut down on oil intake...and recently, choc intake too... :(

It's true. Fats and oils make food more aromatic and make the texture more palatable; sugars and salts increase flavour. So says the BBC :)
I think in a recent Straits Times expt, reporters found that while it is true that the most healthily-prepared carrot cake tasted the worst; the most unhealthily-prepared carrot cake (lard i think) didn't rank top among the food samplers though! i suppose moderation is good + oil can never replace good culinary skills? :P
OH definitely, you need the ingredients (like lard) but in the right proportion :) But even moderately oily carrot food still counts as unhealthy, I suppose, unfortunately.
