Wasn’t she just tweeting about how eating an apple and a cracker was the hardest thing she had ever faced such was her lack of appetite?! Yet now she’s listing reams of rich, heavy foods (by the way, was she brought up in a fucking Enid Blyton novel or something?! She was a kid in the 90s - we were all guzzling turkey twizzlers ffs).

She knows that nostalgic food tweets get engagement, pure and simple. Extra notches for the dopamine like-ometer. I’m with @BeautifulTrauma - she’s not got it and if she has it’s essentially symptom-free. The longer she tweets shit the more she tells on herself tbh.

Is pearl barley soup Irish?! I never knew that and I am from there, we called it veg soup in our house. Also fried bread ( does she mean the English loaf version) or that lovely fried soda and potato bread from Ireland. There is no comparison so it's either one or the other.

I personally don't think loaf bread fries well( or else I have always done it wrong)

Also it's not just pearl barley it's actually made with veg soup mix. I know this because my mum made it all the time and we always had a bad in the cupboard.

Why can’t she say “sorry to hear you were in hospital, hope you’re better now” rather than “my son was in NICU so we’ll just keep talking about me thanks”.

Even cynical old me would like to think she’s not lying about having it, and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone. But if she’s as ill as she’s implying, she just wouldn’t be able to tweet all day. Just stick on one of your six radios and concentrate on getting better!

Lads. The only good thing is she’s not dreaming about her own food

And isn’t that telling.

Ooh, ooh. I’m just imagining that thin, watery no-sauce and biting into the crunchy layers of my desert-dry lasagne. Ah, I feel better already.

Touch wood, I haven't had CV19 (though I did have a few weeks of terrible stomach pains and a low fever for which I got antibiotics and omeprazole), but I had real flu (as opposed to a bad cold called flu) several Christmases ago. All I could do was sleep or lie exhausted in bed in between forcing myself occasionally to take the dogs out. I couldn't eat, couldn't read, couldn't string two words together. I wasn't busy making sense on social media.

Too many lies mean that I just don't believe her symptoms are that bad. Let's not forget that her last brush with the NHS was for an eye coloured by make up.

Tweeting these nonsensical lists of foods are contributing to her working day. Give it a few weeks and she’ll be telling everyone that she continued to work flat out while delirious with COVID. Jack Monroe: Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop.

Ok. I have mercifully stayed Covid free. A few of my work colleagues have had it to varying degrees, thankfully, none serious or needing hospital attention. But if she’s still tweeting despite feeling more poorly than she’s ever been, I would kindly refer her to the ‘flu. The proper ‘flu, when you literally cannot do anything because everything hurts so much. Honestly, after 2 weeks of having it and developing a secondary chest inf, my wife manoeuvred me into the shower before my Dr’s appointment, and I cried. I couldn’t brush my teeth, let alone tweet.
