The pretend Forger Family strikes again in Spy x Family Season 2, as Operation Strix continues! While Loid tries to chase Donovan Desmond, Yor strives to keep her family together at all costs. She may be a loving wife to Loid and a doting mother to Anya, but why is Yor so bad at cooking in Spy x Family?

In Spy x Family Episode 27, Bond’s Strategy to Stay Alive, we see how Bond went above and beyond just to avoid eating Yor’s cooking. He even followed Loid at Born Industries to escape from Yor!

Poor Yor, it looks like Yuri Briar is the only one willing to eat her food, no matter how bad it tastes!

We all know that Yor Briar is a deadly and highly capable assassin who goes by the codename Thorn Princess.

Similar to Loid Forger, Yor has a double life in that she is an earnest office worker by day and a deadly assassin by night, killing her targets in fashion.

But when Yor accepted Loid’s proposal to become Anya’s adoptive mother and his pretend wife, she strived hard not only to keep her secret from being exposed but also to keep her pretend family together.

One of the most important things Yor had to do to be of service to her family was to cook delicious and nutritious meals.

Loid is often the person in the job, but whenever he’s not around, Yor goes into a panic at the thought of her cooking something good for Loid, who’s tired from his job, for Anya, who’s not easy to please, and for Bond, who’s afraid of her food.

While Yor’s strength is her physical and combat prowess, her weakness is anything related to household chores, particularly cooking.

In the first season of Spy x Family, we saw how Yuri would often suffer at the hands of Yor, even though he loved his sister deeply. Loid also went to the bathroom all day when Yor cooked breakfast for the very first time!

Unlike other girls, Yor treats kitchen utensils as weapons. Interestingly, Yor always has a hard time using them, as seen in the episode where her fingers are covered with band-aids due to practicing.

As much as Yor wants to keep cooking for her loved ones, she doesn’t seem to do it right.

Despite this, Yor is not one to give up easily. She loves her family so much that she wants to learn how to cook for them.

Why Is Yor So Bad at Cooking?

There are many theories online about why Yor is so bad at cooking. The Spy x Family manga only mentioned that she's been bad at cooking ever since she was young, and no details have been revealed since then.

Some fans are saying that Yor’s tastebuds are not working well, as they got destroyed during her assassin training.

Yor likely ingested various poisons to gain high resistance from them in exchange for broken tastebuds.

Others believe that Yor didn’t have the time to study cooking. She’s so busy with her life that she can’t find the time to learn how to cook, which has affected her skills now that she’s become the mother of a household.
