not really. mostly when my gram criticizes she say something "well I don't usually cook it that way, I cook it like this or the stuffing is very dry, how did you manage that?" if she really hates everything on the plate expect one thing, lets say the chicken she will say "oh the chicken was best part of the meal, forgot about the other stuff" if she thinks dinner is a complete failure and we have dessert then she'll say the ice cream was the best thing ive eaten tonight.
