What was I saying about Roadside Mum....nothing will ever be enough.

Odd that when Jack is handing out recipes and advice to "the poors" it is OK, but when it is Simon Wood and Andy Burnham do it, it's all about "private profit has ripped the food from the tables of the nations working class children". And Andy is not "punching down", he is attempting to find ways in which to help people.

As for Roadside Mum's assertion that "The problem was never that mothers were useless in the kitchen" shows how naïve she is. And while we are at it, how bloody patronising that it is only mothers that need to know how to cook.

These people don't want compromise and a fair share of wealth, they are like Wolfie Smith and the Tooting Popular Front. They won't be happy until they get their "glorious revolution".

It is pathetic.

No snow here in Southend today. Very cold and raining. Not the weather to let a rabbit out. Or to leave in the garage. I’ve just been to my 2nd freezer (fancy) in my garage and I nearly perished. (I didn’t, but let’s be dramatic)

Yeah? No one is saying the boxes are acceptable, however due to the lack of proper food education in uk schools now a lot of people would struggle with what to do with those Morrison’s boxes too. Simon at least seems to be making easy suggestions which could help many people and is more realistic than 7p of onion and 9p of anchiode

Very rarely but mainly when I'm deliberately channelling them ...

My favourite is Faa sconned yer doup an caaed ye bubbly? My dad used to say that to me, deliberately copying his gran, and now I say it to my dogs when they're upset about something .

OMG, I've been in the deep south so long that I nearly wrote cried instead of caaed then; help, I'm losing my own dialect!

I’ve seen a food parcel with a tin of coconut milk in. I guess it depends on the community but some communities think it’s fairly essential. Not any of the communities Jack appropriates.

Plus, a coconut and potato curry seems a lot more flavourful and nourishing than whatever nonsense Jack usually cooks up

One of the food banks actually commented to say they gets loads of coconut milk and thought the recipe was really useful.
to be honest this has got me thinking that next foodbank donation it might be nice to donate a load of spices or would it be better to just stick to standard tins?

I'd go with tins (tomatoes, chickpeas/beans, coconut milk), perhaps some microwave rice, and one of those curry-spice mixes. Alternatively, you could put in a curry sauce - those are really useful!

Huh, these recipes look tasty, and lots of them are even vegan! Who knew that you didn't need to eat slop all the time??
He can cook and knows about food , unlike the chancer who fancies drawing Nigella’s snow filled garden .

Morning, Jack. Good night's sleep, then?

Best check he hasn't frozen to death overnight.
I feel so sorry for the seemingly mainly forgotten rabbit; on its own in a cold garage, no natural light, no warmth from the sun, it must be miserable...

Edit: I’ve seen the video of him eating his salad now, there does indeed appear to be sunlight... I retract (part of) my point
Still think he’d be happier not locked in a garage, poor rabbit, I’m sure he’d love to explore the garden and munch on some grass

She could have been posting recipes for food boxes/vouchers but she was too busy sorting out paid partnerships with Linda McCartney and Del Monte?
