I am not convinced she ever had a sense of taste to lose.

Quoting myself to mention that this works out at 3p each. How much did she reckon hers cost?
But that would mean she'd actually have to do something other than her regular routine. It's amazing to me that she thinks just going about her day/week is somehow educational for people (while also being "work"), but apparently that's exactly what she thinks.
Kirsty, fair game. But Ithink copying in LC is going too far.
Thank you very Matt much, I had been avoiding that video untill today and wish I hadn't seen it (I don't go around the interweb to piss on people's uploads, but some people really need to learn to stop and think: "Will this be of any value to anyone? Does anyone need to hear this at all? Would I recommend this content to other people if it wasn't me or my creation?" before pressing that upload button)Cliff Richard just chose Jack Monroe songs on Desert Island Discs? Was 'Landslide' (cover, a cappella) amongst them?

Oh, here's somebody she could have a go at?
That meme is timeless
Yes, I agree. Approaching a person directly is crossing a big line. I don't think/hope any of us would do this.
this gave me the warm fuzzies! i used to live in catalunya (
) so i love it when you post about it 
I can't donate anymore, but when I did I was the dream donator. Huge veins and blood that pumped out of me at warp speedI decided to stop donating blood when I was told I was a “slow bleeder”. People were being hooked up after me, and leaving whilst I was still going!
I think my record was about 7 minutes.
I had to stop when I moved to Scotland - the minimum haemoglobin level requirement is 5 points higher here than it was in England and I was always 2 or 3 points underneath it. Really annoying.
Please God, make this happen. A Monroe v Ramsay Full English cook off. Public phone in vote all proceeds to charity. Will viewers embrace cockney sparrow Jacks authentic working class fry up or will they prefer Gordon's more upmarket number?
Can't say I'm a fan of either of them but I'd be #TeamRamsay all the way here.
I would love it, particularly because you know Ramsay would not give a duck about what JM thinks.
Are you sure your oven is hot enough, and does your batter sizzle when it goes into the large? If not, they won't work properly
I love that in this picture* it looks Ramsay’s mid-rant, and the food pic is a speech bubble in place of the words “f***ing breakfast”.
Also, @jenny2603 please get in touch with BB so she can commission all of your ideas, there’s enough tv gold for a whole channel!
*(obligatory mention to say I loathe the rum and won’t give them a click).
Try 9 months of feeling tit jack, then come back and I 'may' have sympathy
Somebody asked why JM doesn't highlight more local initiatives and I think it's a great point. She has so many followers (and so many of them eager to relieve some middle class guilt) and for many small projects her focus could mean a welcome temporary boost in donations. She could have done an adventscalendar, putting a UK food poverty community project (or international) in the spotlight each day to say: "Hey look what wonderful things these people are doing, chuck them a few quid if you can afford it". It would be a bigger impact than her Christmas menu. (Jack, if you're reading this, it's not too late, you could do a 12-days-of-Christmas kind of thing, from Christmas 25 Dec to Three Kings on 6 Jan)
Like that Cornish project asking if they could use her recipes and who she told they could link to it because of her HARD work. Still can't believe she didn't try to lift them up and shine a bit more light on them (I do not know them at all, I live on the opposite side of the country, so I hav no affiliation).
For someone claiming she has such burning desires to HELP, she doesn't share her platform at all (she'll share so others can be her props)
(Note of contemplation....I do think celebrities, from A to Z-list, can be picky in what or who they lend their weight to and they can say no to requests or course. Generally I would say they don't owe people they don't know their energy. But if you're claiming to be an activist with your whole image being about helping those that are dealing with food poverty and you're not putting out ladders to make sure others can be elevated, you're doing it wrong)
