Do you cook when on holiday?? 🧐

Not if I can help it but I love cooking so wouldn’t mind so long as somebody else did the washing up.

Never cook, not even a slice of toast.
Eating out is one of the high lights of the holiday for us, often planned around the local restaurants.

NO

Yes we have done this often looking up reviews on TripAdvisor, then adding our own review.

Never.
I don’t usually have breakfast anyway, but for lunch and Dinner we were always out. So would get a light lunch in a Cafe and then a lovely Dinner at a Restaurant.
While on a Cruise…….say no more !!!

Never

I don’t either as eating out is all part of the getting-away-from-it-all, along with the sunshine and sightseeing.

However…I have to admit by the end of the holiday I’m pining to stir something in my own tiny kitchen - sad or wot?🫨

No. It’s our holiday and I’ll stay at home if I have to cook.

Never, even when my kids were little we stayed in BB& evening meal places in this country.

How would it have been a holiday if I was shopping and cooking?

No!

I have done in the past when the children were small but not since it's just been the two of us.

Even if we're in a lovely holiday cottage with all the facilities we still eat out

Absolutely not! It’s not just the cooking. It’s the deciding on a menu and the shopping!
I like doing these at home but never elsewhere.

We also did it in the past when the children were small, but options to eat out in the UK back then with children were more limited, and we didn’t have the money.
Now we see it as a perk of having survived that chapter of our lives.

If we are away in my small Campervan I love to cook. Rustling some up using locally bought treats, fish, steak etc on two small gas rings is fun. Sometimes a BBQ and salads. Washing up in a river or the sea equally fun. Collecting wood for a campfire on the beach or twigs for the Gilly kettle and heating the water for washing. All great outdoors fun.
Away abroad it’s eating out and just as enjoyable.

Haven’t had a holiday for a while but don’t mind some cooking as you can make easy meals and salads. The last holiday we cooked four meals in the evening and went out to eat for the other few days.Whatever works for you.

No, but my resident super chef does. 👨‍🍳

It's easy when there's so many lovely ingredients in the market.

I love cooking but NEVER on holiday! If we’re on a hotel or a cruise ship obviously everything is done for us. In a holiday house we have our usual breakfast of cereal, toast and fruit. We always eat lunch out and in the evening a bowl of cereal or a banana.

Yes we cook on holiday. Apart from cruises.

NO. NO. NO.

We stay B&B in hotels and eat out in local restaurants.

I do if we're away in our motorhome, although we do make a point of eating out at local cafes/bars/restaurants in the areas we are visiting too. If we're on holiday abroad, I don't cook though - we usually stay at a B&B then eat out at the little places where the locals eat.

When I did go on holiday, I refused to manage more than coffee and toast. I loathed exchanging kitchen sinks (or dishwashers), especially when mine was usually superior.

Half of the fun of going abroad was exploring small restaurants which supplied heavenly food.

I do occasionally, if in a self catering place with the required amenities, but nothing too elaborate, simple meals, usually on the basis, a) There is a supermarket of a reasonable size, not too far where I could get the ingredients and b) that would be interspersed with eating out, the latter more often. It would really depend on how I feel at the time, we're both flexible and tend to just go with the flow. Obviously in a hotel I wouldn't be doing the cooking.

DH preferred self-catering cottages for holidays. We ate out at lunchtime, but just a salad or sandwich, so evening meals were cooked in the cottage. Not my choice- but in his latter years he choked on some foods and struggled to swallow them, so it was awkward to eat out. I did insist on one evening meal out during the week, but otherwise just kept things simple, including the odd ready meal. That’s just the way it was.

Definitely not - neither will I make a bed.

I married a man whose meals had to be meat and potatoes ( and seen to be meat and potatoes) so I used to look longingly at the marvellous ingredients in local markets. Now my holidays are solo, I am looking forward to sampling the local ingredients.
