Did you go to a school where they taught how to cook?

I went to a Catholic school, and surprisingly enough they taught how to cook vegan/vegetarian in their cooking classes. This is where I first learned how to cook, and where I really started cooking my own meals, instead of buying take-out.

I did have some cooking classes during my secondary school, but that was because I could choose for the 'care and welfare' direction later on, where you would cook a lot. But I was 12 or something back then, and wasn't very good it. Never really cooked after that again, until I left home. Then I was forced to cook, and it actually felt like a natural thing. I never thought of it as a hard thing.

Not me, although I know they offered home economics classes, those were supposed to be for girls to learn how to be housewives for when they graduated highschool and got married off. Those may have had some cooking classes, but I'm not sure.

I went to catholic school as well, however food preparation was never a subject.

Never even talked about cooking.
I remember once going to a big farm in the elementary school to see what was the process to make cheese, but besides that, nothing.
I also remember that they didn't show the hundreds of cows imprisoned in small places, where they couldn't even move. I peeked quickly inside, and I was almost shocked. Surprised in a horrifying way.
