The worst part is, I just know she’s on the Charlie Binghams. She does slop, or fancy pre-made, there is no inbetween!

Oh, thank Christ!
I'd hate to think of an older relative of mine having to eat anything like her slop.
Sorry but what on earth does 'indecisiveness is at an all time flummox' mean. Those words are like the ingredients in Jack's recipes, no understanding of whether or not they actually go together.
I've said it before and I say it again. Her forensic analysis is POINTLESS. The issue is not whether a tin of mandarins costs 30p or £1 or £20.
The issue is that we live in one of the wealthiest societies on earth in the history of mankind and for some people a tin of mandarins is unaffordable.
The solution is not to demand a smart price range back.
The solution is, as always, far more complicated and nuanced.
Everyone should have enough to eat. It sickens me that this is not the case. Stop going on about tinned crap and tell people to donate, to volunteer, to affect change in a meaningful way, to not throw their vote away, to work on a local level, because that's where we can make a difference.
It's disempowering to shout at Asda. It's empowering to work with local restaurants, schools, food growers, food banks, etc. and we can all do something (and I know the lovely cabal members do an awful lot).

Flummox is not a noun AND it makes no sense here.

She’s got prawns trending. In the Drinks category. There’s a starter idea... prawn smoothie anyone?
I googled Tatty Devine. Pre-teen happened to be looking over my shoulder and now I’ve purchased moustache earrings off eBay for said pre-teen. She is delighted.
As if! There’s no way Jack could limit her ramblings to 10 minutes!Just the start of another fun day for BB.

You should probably have voted against Brexit then eh JackView attachment 329286
Empty Bigham's pie dishes were spotted on her shelves a little while ago, can't remember what thread.
ETA here! https://tattle.life/threads/jack-monroe-91-poor-ish.10410/page-4#post-2667795
Omg I’ve made it to the end!
She’ll claim she was forensically cost testing them.
How nice for BB, I would keep quiet if I was her in future. Who could be arsed with it.Just the start of another fun day for BB.

Our plucky heroine tries in vain to garner attention by tackling the life changing topic of crumble/tart/pie/pudding. Will she succeed in her quest? What will Cooper make of it all? Will anyone notice? Will she remember any of this tomorrow once the dopamine hit has subsided? Does anyone actually give a fig? Tune in later to find out.
Coming up on the next episode....
It‘s a full moon so your guess is as good as mine. Brambly mice reunion? Is BB actually Sue-Ellen? What will Digger Barnes make of the newly found oil field at the back of the garden, behind the expensive swing chair? Will our heroine get the gig, catering the Oil Barons Ball? Will the resulting, inevitable food poisoning crisis slash the cost of a barrel?
Yes, yes, yes to all of your post <3 Tins are not the solution as Jack keeps making out, just a sticking plaster if that.
She has no solutions to offer apart from howling and clawing.
She tweets about Asda smart price from an ivory tower bungalow surrounded by luxury consumer goods, to an audience of middle class centrist squiggles (sorry centrist squiggles, I know you are kind hearted, but you will never change anything) while getting Ocado deliveries and shuddering at the thought of mixing with the masses on public transport.
She is completely disconnected from reality as she lives online. She doesn't involve herself in issues, local or otherwise, doesn't shop locally, doesn't volunteer at her local foodbank, doesn't seem to even donate as she is so busy wanging on about the £20 shop. She rents but never mentions housing rights orgs - her only issue is that she feels hard done by as she doesn't own a house outright. She tweets about how hard life is for heads of news and current affairs.
The height of her activism is riding on MR's coat tails, and personally profiting from his success (paid GQ article). I have no issue with her being paid to write the article, but she is in no way an activist or campaigner.
She literally never engages with wider issues and constantly centres herself and her "struggles". She doesn't work for minimum wage, nor claim benefits so can someone please, please, PLEASE explain to me how she claims to speak for people in poverty?
Her patreon rewards are a waste of time, resources and money, seriously, only people with money to burn would subscribe. It's a joke and there is a lot more worthwhile stuff she could offer for her patreons if she was so inclined.
But she can't be arsed. It's bare minimum every bleeping time. And I do get that is part of ADHD, but that doesn't make it ok to post sub standard recipes, sub standard and late or non existent patreon rewards. If that is a result of ADHD then you need to make your living in a different way.
She's mentioned this collection of receipts a few times now, but nothing EVER changes. A few fiery tweets and then crickets. Here's a tip Jack - stop tweeting every thought and actually produce something.
You did the GQ article - clap clap. That's done now, so on to the next thing.
People shared their stories with her about poverty and austerity, really tragic and personal stories, and she's done nothing with them. The first draft of the supposed poverty book? I would be amazed if she had even started.
You don't need to tweet every thought, and you don't need to pretend to be living on £20 a week. No-one is saying you shouldn't have shoes, salmon, or butter, that's gaslighting BOLLOCKS and you need to stop it.
Putting aside the laughable insincerity as one big fake leaves one of the most awful shows on TV .... is this an opportunity for another big fake to 'pitch'?
Lashing out at this 'middle class commentariat' = work at The Grauniad is drying up and those that she likes to imagine are her peers are leaving her on read.
I know I’m supposed to be poring and pawing over her lies, whilst being forensically flummoxed, but now I want pies. I can make a bloody good pie but, like our scamp Jack, I just can’t be arsed!
I go buy pie
I cry
I die
It's worse - she feels hard done by because she doesn't own her 600,000 grand house outright and mortgage free!
Without the astronomical rent in her fancy bungalow, and the endless luxury items, she could have put a deposit on a house years ago. She could have probably paid the mortgage off entirely by now on a modest family home.
Her true butthurt is that she feels entitled to live the high life, and not have to pay or work for it.
So Caroline came back off furlough then went back on it again?? But Jack has been working right the way through and the schools/school nurseries have been back since September...
If C or her family are ill then why does she keep mentioning it? She needles people into asking questions then says people are nosy/picking on her
Re: her request for Xmas dinner starter ideas.
She is supposedly a professional cookery writer of several years standing. So why on earth is she asking Twitter to do her job for her? It’s either attention seeking or she is just bloody bone idle. Or both.
