I think I vaguely recall after the tap/fake black eye that We did discuss Jack possibly being drunk. She certainly tweeted about a brief relapse not too long after the fuss died down. She claimed at the time that she felt extra sleepy after the 'fall' and her poor son had to watch her while she slept in case she stopped breathing. We speculated that nap was actually her sleeping it off.
Also really good point regarding women's pain being misdiagnosed or not taken seriously. There is growing evidence to show that women experience pain differently, are more prone to certain types of pain and conditions. And doctors of both genders are guilty of not taking them seriously. We really have to fight to get anywhere. Not to make it all about me but I have been suffering from an undiagnosed neural condition that brings daily pain since early 2019. It took a year and three Gp changes to access pain relief and due to Covid there has been a delay in further investigation (scans/x rays). There were times when I thought I must be imagining it as there is no visible injury or misalignment. At times it is limiting, debilitating and has affected my mental health. The reality for many women like me is constant anxiety, repeated GP visits and living with pain without diagnosis or support. Even a diagnosis would be amazing. If I knew what it was I could access accurate treatment. Anyway enough about me. Jack choosing conditions that are difficult to prove makes it harder for other people to be taken seriously. She also presents an unrealistic, unrelatable of her so called conditions because she can shop around for private healthcare whereas the rest of us plebs are limited by whatever the NHS can offer and of course the health postcode lottery. She is so harmful to so many causes.

God, just imagine her flying around the world and explaining how each and every country she visits cooks things wrong and that they should just do it all like she does...I went back for another look and found this beauty
This has GOT to be a piss take!I went back for another look and found this beauty
Aye, and Points of View would be on for an hour with all her moans
A travel programme? I couldn't think of anything that would put me off visiting a place more than listening to her whiny voice talking about it.I went back for another look and found this beauty
Mind you, she probably wouldn't get very far into talking about a country's cuisine and culture before likening it to herself, and then promptly launching into her 'origin story' again. It'd just be the Jack Monroe show in different destinations.
My god, I'd have loved her to film with Keith Floyd, he didn't suffer fools gladly and would have given her very short shrift.I went back for another look and found this beauty
Michael Palin is a lovely, empathetic chap, not words you would ever use about Jack
She TurnedUpOnTapp...
Many years ago Charlie Brooker devoted one of his Screen Burn columns to tormenting Friendly TV. This was a show on some godforsaken Sky channel which consisted of a female presenter getting texts and calls from the public. Whilst the public in this case seemed to lonely old men, it was at the safer for work side of things so "can you blow me a kiss" was about as racy as it got, though it was still a bit creepy.
Anyway Brooker had invited the public to text in questions to make it more interesting so the poor presenter had to respond to enquiries like "do spiders live alone?" rather than the usual "I want to cuddle you pretty lady, please wave to me". I sometimes wonder if half the squiggles in Jacks mentions are part of a similar prank such is the psychedelic oddness of their tweets to her. I mean Keith Floyd and Micheal Palin? Granted all three are/were white English human beings but beyond that I'm at a loss.
The Charlie Brooker column is no longer on the Guardian site but you can access it on pages 288-289 should you so wish.

Oh I loved Keith. I'm sure there was a post ages ago comparing Jack to Keith but that Keith would be turning in his grave to hear that.
Bualadh Bos!
I hope Charlie does a Screen Wipe this year. Looking forward to the Black Mirror special.
Well, that's pretty much what the other white TV cooks/chefs do. Why should she be any different to Rick Stein, the Alan Partridge of Food Travelogs or Jonty Rode, who specialises in telling home cooks from other ethnicities that their meals aren't Authentic, compared to the ones that
Is...is this not it
Actually I'm just thinking a travel programme with Jack would be hysterical. "I'm here in Addis Ababa, the hotel concierge has never heard of Sainsburys, Dishoom or Five Guys but luckily I packed a case full of instant noodles so I'm going to show you how you can eat well on a budget using a simple hotel room kettle". Next episode "Today I'm taking my life in my hands following a tip off from a mate that there is a Harvester franchise nearby. It's a 20 minute walk so there is a serious risk of contact with locals and I haven't been this nervous since I performed at Glasto with my mate Billy Bragg". Episode Three: " I have been ARRESTED! Earlier I was distributing kettle lingreenie and melamine cutlery to the homeless when out of the blue the crowd became enraged and began chanting Merizi (poisoner) and before I knew it I'd been seized by the police. I tried to show them my tattoos as ID to prove I am a big star in the UK but they wouldn't accept this and claimed they were not familiar with my body of work".I went back for another look and found this beauty
Okay lads, I'm going in.
Consulting the recipe, I have laid out my bread slices and chosen not to butter them a) to avoid sloppiness (!!) and b) because what do you think I am, the trillionaire daughter of a baron? No butter for me, thankspaceyou.
This is the yield from two stale leftover mince pies. In a rare miracle for a JM recipe, sloppy is not the right word, but I have my instructions and must maraud onwards.
I'm using some extra mature cheddar because it's what I have in and because all cheese is the same anyway.
I don't own a toastie maker and my grill is currently out of service, so I'm doing this the American grilled cheese way (maverick, y'all).
Jack's instructions don't mention buttering the outside (butter? on a toastie?), just oiling the toastie maker if that's what you're using, so I've just thrown a bit of sunflower oil into the pan.
It actually looks pretty nice! Maybe it won't be so bad?
... Fraus, it's appalling. The mince pie taste hits you first, which is momentarily quite appealing, but then the shock of the cheese rolls through you like that saliva-y wetness in the mouth you get just before you vomit.
It's somehow both too dry for a toastie and distressingly squishy with hot fruit. I managed two bites before I threw it away and then immediately took out the bin because I didn't want to look at it and be reminded.
I have since eaten a normal toastie (buttery and delicious), but a ghostly mouthfeel is lingering.
I dedicate this abomination to you all.

Even in this Internet-free parallel universe, the Sloppies are still going strong!
@Pixieboots faaacking hell! Half impressed, half genuinely-worried-about-your-wellbeing after those two bites! Thoughts and prayers etc!
