Oh, sure, he's not going to be be on "Top Chef" or anything. And I'm also sure that he's not the sort to be intuitive in the kitchen, and he'll measure out ingredients exactly.
But there was one fic where he, like, walked into the kitchen and wound up setting the place on fire. And a lot of the replies were all, "Yes! That's so right!" and I thought, "He doesn't quite seem like a Jackie Rodowsky to me..."
And I'm sure if Reid somehow had to make a big meal, he'd be totally nervous and freak out that he'd messed it all up, but that's more his social skills than his cooking ability, imo.
But if he got invited to a potluck or, I don't know, went someone's house for Thanksgiving and brought a side dish, I don't see him as needing to buy something pre-made. Maybe he would for convenience sake, but he wouldn't have to.
Although now I'd be kind of interested in seeing a fic where he watches the Food Network at home and tries things, or brings in cookies or something for everyone. Hey, he has a sweet tooth, and sometimes Oreos and Chips Ahoy just aren't what you're craving, you know? ;)
