Having never eaten eggplant, I do know that I wouldn't eat what was on THAT plate. It wasn't appealing...not even the tiniest bit appealing. April must have had difficulty burning things earlier on when she started cooking. It's almost as if she's afraid of the heat on the stove because she consistently under cooks EVERYTHING.
I don't think she was the type of girl who helped mom out in the kitchen. She was probably called down to dinner and she more than likely turned her nose up at everything that was put in front of her. I can easily picture it. She never took the opportunity to learn how to cook from those who could teach her. Besides...who in the world could tell April what to do? She met Justin and created this perfect vision in her head of becoming Miss Suzy Homemaker/Martha Stewart and has been flying by the seat of her pants ever since. No skills...just luck that she hasn't poisoned anyone yet.
Eggplant is yummy if done right!
I agree that Ape probably didn't help out her mom in the kitchen based on the fact that she is totally clueless now. As for her turning her nose up for dinner - she said her stepdad forced her to eat meat and she didn't like it so maybe there's some sort of traumatic memory there.
(Hell my dad constantly forced us to eat stuff we didn't want/like but that was because he grew up dirt poor and knew what being grateful for what you have was. You don't see me holding grudges against him though lol)
I have always found it interesting that Ape claims she was forced to take care of her siblings and also cook from a young age. (probably had to make sandwiches lol and called that cooking) Surely she'd have learned a thing a two by now. She cooks like a newb, not someone who's had years of experience being in a kitchen. She can't even cook rice properly. They use a rice cooker. You measure water & rice out in ratios. It's not difficult.
I've come to the conclusion that she is just inept at life. The fact that they make money from their YT career is sheer dumb luck and one day that luck will run out.
