or she was trying to seek attention through bringing ‘wacky’ equipment she didn’t need. She’s all about being seen.I think it's kind of odd to take food and drink to Glastonbury, personally. They've got so many really good food stalls it's just pointless unless you're planning on spending absolutely nothing when you're on site which knowing Jack was probably the reason, the absolute tightwad.
I also like the part where she calls herself a camping expert, then go goes on to say that they needed a volunteer to help them put their tent up but still managed to not erect it properly so it was pooled with water after 2 nightsI am absolutely dying at this - I thought that quote was you taking the piss - then I read the article
What is her obsession with deconstructing sausages?
It's a little odd how she doesn't explain leaving so early - especially as she was commissioned to do a diary of attending the festival?!Re Glastonbury (love it - last went in 2013, the year before Jack's opus in The Guardian)...yes there are amazing food stalls all over the site so you can get anything you want. It's one of the best things about it that you can pick up anything you fancy (as long as you can manage to locate the stall again).
What struck me is that having had presumably a free entry to the festival, she was packing up and leaving on Saturday in the day. What a bloody waste - she says she had SB with her, it could have made an amazing experience for him. Why didn't they stay until the end and go back on Monday after it finished.
I don't have children but there are always loads there and it's v family oriented (there's a family camping field etc) as well as for adult fun.
What a wasted opportunity...although that seems to be a general trend doesn't it in the life of Jack Monroe.
Especially as you can buy sausage meat cheaply, people don’t deconstruct sausages to make sausage rolls, scotch eggs etcWhat is her obsession with deconstructing sausages?
It’s not that, every click is giving them revenue, their coverage of the Hillsborough disaster was repulsive. Give it a google, people boycott the paper because of it.Lol it's a shit paper I agree I only read it for the comments. The comments are something else. Ps I do not comment just lurk.
I actually didn't know this about the Hillsborough stuff. Sorry.It’s not that, every click is giving them revenue, their coverage of the Hillsborough disaster was repulsive. Give it a google
Inspired by the post above I decided to 'ave a butchers at JM's micro accounts and I'm a bit puzzled by them not being an accounts type. They're for last year but to my untrained eye she seems to owe more than she makes. Is this right or have I got the wrong end of the stick?Agreed, I’d always encourage anyone to Google “influencer name + companies house beta”. You don’t need to be an accountant to see if someone’s raking it in or not & it puts their content into an entirely different context. A lot (too many!) young girls think influencers are just cooler versions of them making earnest recommendations, but they’re extended sales departments for brands. Would you get into debt over a PLT ad? Probably not, so why are you getting into debt over Molly Mae’s vlogs she is not ur mate she has a direct interest in you spending money!
The absurd thing is people make out like you’re fucking fred west for doing this - referencing public info to make an informed decision about how you spend your money! I’m a company secretary (my other job is being my husband’s Lynn) and I declare it to my employers & would expect to be asked questions about my interests, but I’m not a shady cunt like Jack who’d probably allege that we’d gone through her garage to find those micro accountsYou can do it for small businesses too as sometimes they’re not actually small (see: FOD promoting an indie curtain company that had offices in St James’ Sq and an AR app funded by a parent company).
Sorry for the tenuously linked rant but the above is why I’ll never feel bad for being on here, influencers have stitched the game up. On topic: Jack’ll probably give us a chaos today to skim over the PURE CRINGE of her cockney accentGoes some way to showing the sheer lack of diversity at the Guardian that no one challenged why she was doing that?
Ahh but if it doesn't involve *her* and *her appearances* then it's not worth documenting.It's a little odd how she doesn't explain leaving so early - especially as she was commissioned to do a diary of attending the festival?!
Bit behind but just wanted to jump in...Mmm, squished sausages leftover from a shoot.
Does she ever let him eat meat that isn’t bacon and sausage?
Or it could be her unwavering arrogance, along the lines of “why waste money on that gourmet shit when we could all be eating my works of maverick genius..”or she was trying to seek attention through bringing ‘wacky’ equipment she didn’t need. She’s all about being seen.
She always does self catering apartments when she travels too. Wasn't she bragging about cooking for guests in her and a Mrs J's hotel room once using just a kettle or something? Or did I dream that given the number of us who have now experienced JM in dream form?Or it could be her unwavering arrogance, along the lines of “why waste money on that gourmet shit when we could all be eating my works of maverick genius..”
Rings no bells to me but wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true. On a related note, saw a video just the other day on Facebook, with a guy doing exactly this with an array of food in a hotel room.. he used the flat surface of an iron for a lot of the cooking..She always does self catering apartments when she travels too. Wasn't she bragging about cooking for guests in her and a Mrs J's hotel room once using just a kettle or something?

It's so strange because for anyone who actually has any interest in food whatsoever, at least 50% of the joy of travelling is checking out the food scene of wherever you are. But then this is Jack, who only went to 5 Guys and Dishoom (NOT A CHAIN) when she was in Edinburgh, like, 1 day after Scotland's lockdown was lifted.She always does self catering apartments when she travels too.

I still can't get over how little she did on that break or her general lack of interest in actually seeing any of Edinburgh. Half the fun of a city break is just wandering around and seeing what you can find. It's her holiday but eating from chains, taking pictures of soon to be binned slop and making up stories about feeding rough sleepers strikes me as a terrible waste.It's so strange because for anyone who actually has any interest in food whatsoever, at least 50% of the joy of travelling is checking out the food scene of wherever you are.
