NI veg soup (soup barley, soup celery and the rest) is such basic cooking. Pretty sure I learnt the recipe off my mum at a young age as I’ve been bunging it all together for years. Even go so far as to use the left over chicken bones from a Sunday roast to make my own stock. The potato lump is definitely an NI thing. But HOW can she not know how to use soup mix? It’s like.... on the packet?! Did her NORTHERN IRISH BAPTIST IMMIGRANT MOTHER TEACH HER NOTHING??

Even I know, and use, soup mix. I'm a home counties lefty lib too... Without the benefits of her immigrant lineage.

@Sideboard Bob if you don't buy oldchiefquotes.coven.de I'm going to riot. Do you want me to end up in onion prison?
I’m only half joking when I say I don‘t think I could handle the power and responsibility that comes with owning a whole website so... I guess you better work on your a-peel? 🧅

Yesssssss! She lies so much we suspect she's lying about everything. But the lies always have enough truth in them that its something she could backpedal on if she was really cornered. Then again, tweet and delete. Tweet and delete.

'Out of office' made me hoot as well. She always tries to make herself sound so professional, like when her site went down and she assured everyone she had her 'IT guy on it', when in reality it was her shakily trying to fix it while receiving a few texts from some random guy off Twitter

I think I can see pineapple so she might be editing a Del Monte photo?

Looks gross. Guessing some type of curried monstrosity. Looks like black beans, but the rest looks, well, unpleasant to say the least (or rather I'd prefer not to think about it in case it puts me off my food for the rest of the day!)

Jack's a bit quiet today so here from the archives:

Top to bottom:

Slop with exploded cherry tomato (that looks like unruly labia)
Classic slop
A bowl of black pepper with a slop garnish

Which one would YOU choose?
It’s late and I’ve had wine but I read that as I was swilling mouthwash and I almost choked on it! So funny yet tragic.

Who the fuck is nicking her recipes and passing off as their own? The onion?

Or was she on BBC good food forgetting she nicked from there in the first place!
Del Monte apparently nicked her peach curry recipe ages ago, and that’s part of the reason we were surprised by them partnering with her. Obvs her tweets about it have gone but there’s plenty of trails left behind.




check out the comments on here... I’m so shocked they worked with her after this

“The man from Del Monte can fuck off” has made me laugh way more than it should. Anyone else think the Del Monte people hear that a LOT?

Just to add am a lover of the chick pea curry. Have made veg and chick pea curries, hummus, roasted chick peas, veg tagine etc. Tinned peaches, ok with Greek yogurt and black grapes!

At first glance I thought this looked unusually textured (yet still unappetising)...then I noticed the image is cropped and whatever grotesque concoction she's made from tinned pineapple is sitting (gently, softly, mindfully) in the usual mire of slop.

I love how the immigrant thing finally gives us white NI girls the special status we were waiting for jack needs to catch a fucking grip!
