I wonder what happened to her home brewed 'fruity' vinegar. That never saw the light of day again.

hey everyone i thought i would finally say hello, you've probably all seen me liking all your stuff since feb /march time!!
i got onto our good friend jack after joining tattle to look at old pip schofs escapades and noticed jacks thread,i followed her a couple of years back and thought something was fishy then these threads really opened my eyes
i was here for the JO pile on ,DKL watch along and the famous thread when she graced us with her presence haha
i went through stages of catching up to the present time then forgot about it but i always caught up eventually!
i just want to stay you lot have gotten me through this year and made me laugh so much when i've felt down due to this shitstorm of a year/work/chronic health conditions and life in general
thank(space) you
We love a frau transcending up and out of the shadows, welcome dear heart ❤

This reminds me we need to look at our Google trends again, Del Monte can’t have even done that because tattle are ranked as third in associated searches, second if you aggregated all the iterations of tattle? They may as well have given us the tens of thousands of pounds to throw a fruit party with tbh

Is anyone willing to take the risk ...make this and report back 😬??
I’m predicting bitter onion with a background of stomach churning fat
And how the duck does it thicken??
Look at all the frothy bubbles in the photo - it does not thicken!

I like the star shaped sauce dish.

The rest looks like a discoloured photo from a 1971 cookbook.

Ok in defense of veg peel stock. This is a common way to make veg stock or boost chicken/meat stock flavor. She didn’t invent it and many cooks do it.

Caveat: you don’t put nasty tit in it. Nothing slimy, though a bit shriveled is fine. Nothing actually mangy or dirty.

If I’m using this kind of thing in a bone stock or vegetable stock, it has to be clean and decent quality. Also, though organic produce is sadly a privilege (not sure the price difference between conventional and organic in the UK, but in the US it’s a lot, you can easily spend $3 on one large organic specialty apple) those are preferred as they are without pesticides. I don’t have much money but I buy organic onions because I use the skins and butts in stock. I don’t use conventional peels in a stock (no judgment or prissiness here for anyone who does, just a personal choice).

Stepping off the veg peel soapbox. 🤣🤣🤣

We all saw a brain with sparklers floating in a bowl of puke and heard the Lost theme in the background, right? Right?

I don’t know what that was supposed to be. Dessert?!

I genuinely thought it was a haggis/faggot 🤢

I have a theory, maybe, just maybe she is betting on everyone getting COVID and not being able to taste or smell anything. I’m sure they will have an early Christmas feast, Nigella style of course, then SB and BB will declare it the most delicious ever.

The vegetable waste nut roast looks like a dry pus scab :sick: And the chicken looks like it's been left outside in the Sahara for a month.
How does she manage to make everything look so appalling? Even carrots and parsnips? She's as bad at food photography as she is at cooking. Everything looks so dreary.
Get that chicken an IV of saline stat.

I do agree with her on this. No idea why people get so weird about what meals you're "allowed" to have yorkies with. Who gives a tit.

But I also love that she's MAKING A BOLD STATEMENT about a telling off that she expects, that as far as I can see, hasn't come. Jack fighting imaginary foes again.
Same as people arguing over jam or cream first on a scone, or how to pronounce it, or whether its a bun, bap or roll, or wether it’s tea or dinner...it’s what passes for personality these days.

I'm still amazed that blending raw onions then boiling them was the result of two full weeks of work.

Imagine what her first drafts were like... 🤢
