No!!! Do NOT mess with the patty!!

Ok, so I must admit that I watched only a couple of DKLs (through my fingers), before having to back away from it and bleach my brain, so I’m not the best judge of whether or not that was an improvement. What I will say is that I cringed myself inside out watching the DM live. Too much disappearing here there and everywhere to fetch this and that, the promotional bit was bleak, and the marinade looked absolutely grim. It was so unprofessional- and what was that green rice at the end? Did she bake it in the oven? Why, Fraus, WHY?!!! The shaky/almost in tears bit really got me at the end, too. It seemed very off kilter, and, no matter my opinion of her presentation and cooking, I hope she’s ok, and utilising the professional and personal support networks she says she has.
She’s fine! Scampering about and giving her neighbours Colin-crumbed salmonella 👍🏼

I don’t think she is aware that it was awful, she went straight back on Twitter.

Offtopic of jack, but on topic of del Monte and pineapples..

Is anyone else weirdly interested in their bioengineered pink pineapple that comes in a gift box with a certificate of authenticity for 49 bucks? 🤣

The man from del Monte isn't doing a great job of selling it on the socials; saying it's tastes like normal pineapple but a bit sweeter. Well that justifies the premium. So it's people buying to take photos for social media then? Either that or a wedding gift.

Pinkglow pineapple del Monte
Ahhh this is the “upside down” element - it’s actually raw chicken dressed as a pineapple. It’s a Mad Hatter style “upside down” and she’s getting in Heston’s niche.

Apologies as I'm grunking...and perhaps I misheard but I'm sure she said in that live, her brain is always 'pissing ideas'. 😆

I was joking about the vegan version being jackfruit scrapings but it actually is. Lord Slop have mercy. I wonder if it's also contaminated with campylobacter and salmonella for authenticity.

Are the numbers in the poll tainted by people voting yes because they watched the live but after the fact? Not that I doubt 149 of us were there of the ~180 which was the highest number I caught because we were the only people (apart from the viggles who I view as a separate entity) who knew about it. Shocking either way. I hope Del Monte got a receipt so they can get a refund.

Oh and just because it's her birthday I did a little Slopbot update as I'd recorded twenty-one 'thankyous' since the previous update, most of them from the last few days when she was capitalising on her trauma. Happy birthday, Jack 🥰

I couldn’t watch it so grateful for the commentary.

It sounds like it wasn’t a complete disaster but I do wonder how many more collaborations with big companies she can do. I think that she must be running out of options? Or is she just a a genius for getting a 6 figure (really???) sum out of big companies and should we be admiring her work?

She was so chaotic, the fact that she had wrong ingredients (skinless, boneless) for the recipe is not even high on the list of what was bad.

Upside-down chicken thighs aren’t a ‘thing’ you’d name a recipe for. They’re literally just turned skin side down. Or not.

That slimy, unbrowned chicken skin, cooked in its own ephemera 🤢 did she even say how long for? I’ve never known her to brown meat. I don’t think she knows how.

Vegan and vegetarian fraus maybe look away. I've tried to do a spoiler but it's not working.

So she's saying it looks better with chicken thighs with skin?
On the live I thought she said she'd used bone out thighs (no mention of skin) today but bone in thighs before so what was in the heart shaped dish? So if chicken thighs with skin looks better then she's used something on todays live that she knows doesn't look as good?

Hello chaps.
Long time etc. I saw that she was doing a live yesterday/today and couldn’t resist coming back for a looksee.

Christ, that was bad. I generally love watching people cook, I find it seriously relaxing. But that was clenchingly painful to view which made my shoulders practically reach my ear holes. I didn’t watch live, just the Mel Donte posted vid - how can someone be that badly prepared for something they literally have the whole day to sort out for? Unbelievable.

It was the cooking equivalent of Spud’s interview in Trainspotting.

@Alansbigplate - any chance of a reface of that?

I don't have anything to say, yet! I'm still catching up and need to watch the live with sound on this time. I really just wanted a little Paddy's day hat.
