Is it me or does she look bored out of her tree.

Anyone else struggling to understand the connection between her parents' jobs and only having prawns at Christmas?
Do people still cook with lard? Also we get UC so I guess in Jackie's eyes we are poor... But we've never used it???
I think it is a perfectly nice nose, and it suits her face for better than the face turned ones. I don't think it is fair to take the piss out of her genetically determined featuresI’m going to be mean - id face tune that nose if it was mine
I have never watched it and never will.
I’m no Yorkshireman but dried mixed herbs in Yorkshire pud batter is unnecessary surely
I wondered about the boiled onions!
She looks a little tired as we all do this year, she also looks her age because she hasn't been allowed to 'shop her face to oblivion. Would be perfectly normal/nice pics if we weren't all used to her looking like the artful dodger these days 
. The difference is a little shocking!

My wonderful grandmother used to cook her roast potatoes in lard....so says my Mum. I can remember her putting some lard in the potato pan, however she also used to save the fat from meat cooked that week and add that as well.
Her potatoes were to die for but I think it was the saved fat which gave the potatoes their gorgeous flavour. We used to fight for the crispy bits at the bottom of the serving bowl
I don't do roast potatoes that often but use beef dripping.....or goose fat at Xmas. Get great flavour and very crispy outsides.
I'd love to know if anyone will follow that Xmas dinner she's published because it sounds like tit.
Not only the connection, but also the relevance, like most of JM's strange "growing up" anecdotes.
confused dot com if you have had dried mushrooms hanging around for two years, you clearly very rarely if ever, use them. So wtf are you drying a gazillion more??? This is a classic example of wasting money, better spent on quality food for Sb
I've been trying to keep off all things JM, but duck ME, bleeping LARD flavoured xmas dinner. duck OFF.
You just wouldn't. The ghosts of my ancestors would be popping up to slap me round the head should I ever dare (and rightly so!)
Does anyone do a starter for Xmas dinner?
We never have and it always seemed a middle class thing to me.
Even now I'm in my 50s I don't do a starter.....I prefer to keep room for roast potatoes and turkey.
My husband's family.....very middle class always have a starter. ....and do less roast potatoes. I know which I prefer
......and I also know where Jack fits in ....she's middle class dahling.

You can save the onion water for tomorrow's leftovers soup? She has a serves four joint for six, one potato each and minimal veg. There could very well be leftovers of the horrible gravy, dry nut stuffing and bread pudding but I wouldn't want to sully a soup with them
Thank you for your stirling work!
I suppose Jack's growing up anecdotes are like every one else's - amusing and meaningful to the family - desparately dull and a bit mystifying to others.
Oh dear that Christmas menu. It manages to combine quite depressing yet overly complicated. Her stuffing looks like a stolid odd coloured brick.
I simply cannot imagine one person following that menu. Christmas really is a time of tradition - I don't know about others but usually we talk about doing something different but end up doing the same meal because it is so comforting.

Just out of idle curiousity, if the Express article isn't marked as an advertorial for Del Monte, is that grounds for a complaint to ASA?
