Jack Monroe #140 This is not what Linda would have wanted

[MarthaFarkus]

Linda McCartney Foods have really effed up by asking nowhere-near-vegan Jack Monroe to work with them and ignoring customers who are passionate about Veganism is outrageous. There are a lot of very valid concerns on their Insta page and I honestly think they don't have a clue how to handle them and so are ignoring it all. Lesson learned though, do your research next time LMF! That sneaky twit now throwing in tweets about plant milks and cheeses on Twitter to try and pull the wool over people's eyes? Unbelievable, or rather, believable.

In other news, I have tried probably 6 or 7 vegan cheeses overall and dislike them all. Oat milk is the king, although I would never have it in tea so stick to Pukka teas

Even a computer which has barely gained sentience knows this....

I saw that @ theonlygirlinthehouse (love her) is doing an ad for simple recipes using canned food, which seems right up jack's niche. I wonder if she's been approached for it or will we get another Twitter tantrum because she's been overlooked despite it being her LIFE'S WORK (hard to type that with a straight face)

Just came across this. Tragic. Thinking of our feathered friend's family and loved ones during this difficult time. Godspeed.

The dead glove pigeons remind me of a book I once saw - whenever I spot a discarded brolly, I'm like "Umbracula"

Ok don’t @ me but this is actually a good idea...bear with me!
I like an oat bath but wrapping them in muslin leaves a squishy porridge in the cloth at the end. I could put the oats into a clean herb pot with muslin at the end. That would allow the oat s to infuse the water but be easy to empty after!
I like the empty herb pots, I use one for sugar. It makes it easy for putting loads of it on porridge or cereal.

I could just eat the bath oats as porridge after they’d been warmed up in the bath water.....
Screw you lot, I’m off to publish a book of wanky tips

Second hand bottom oats? You could probably sell them...and then write a book about it.

just caught up with the rufus hound situation

The bath salts are a preview to her homemade moisturisers - one will be lard based and the other from the oils she saves. Surely the stuffing mix will make a reappearance too in some way.

Hang on... salt and hot water, oils rubbed into their skin, filling them up with cheeses...

if she suggests sprinkling herbs on yourself next then she's actually trying to cook and serve the squiggles

 

[HotesTilaire]

As you know I’m a lifelong vegetarian, and I’ll just annoy the vegans with my vegan tourism, but I like different alternatives for different things.
Latte- oat milk
Tea- almond
Cereal- soya

I used to like the value cheese spread from the supermarket as it was bulked out with coconut oil, making it an ideal “cheese-reducer” product. All been withdrawn now, though.

A great big handful of sage in your Thai curry
A load of rosemary in your tabouleh
Some tarragon in your Pimm's
lots of basil to make a crust for rack of lamb
Add coriander to your lasagna

FFS.

she's definitely suggested swapping parsley or basil for coriander in italian food before which is ABSOLUTELY MENTAL especially as she apparently has a genetic aversion to coriander?!

On a slightly unrelated note, i have always thought that tarragon actually tasted quite similar to thai basil and could probably be substituted in a thai curry? i'll see myself out...

Hi gang,

I spotted a top tip recently and I've decanted 6 tubs of mixed herbs into an empty milk bottle. I now have 6 empty herb tubs, has anyone got any ideas on what to do with them?

Store your milk in them

that makes me think of poetry.

More specifically, TS Elliot - like a patient etherised ion a table.

Fill them with FREE left over oil from olives/fish/sun dried tomatoes.

Add FREE lavender, eucalyptus or rosemary from the garden/neighbours/roadside.

Result:6 FREE room diffusers

Discovered who JM has been modelling herself on. Big facetuned eyes included - and too competitive to even credit SB with being better at can opening.

I think you've finally uncovered the inspiration for this bizarre German hausfrau cosplay moment...

They are probably better ideas than Jack could come up with, to be fair to you.

Oh, god. I'm back in the Lower VIth again. They made us do that in the darkest, murkiest, coldest January and February for years as well.

I have just read it. Goes on a bit, doesn't it?

Not my cup of tea.

I find some other exemplars of his body of work more satisfying.

Literally grasping for ideas and content. Charlatan.
