The supermarkets that do the sad meal deals for couples who have given up* will often include Charlie Bingham meals, which works out an OK price if they include wine. They're quite nice. Of course, with her £20 a week budget, JM must be stretching that meal across several days.

*Including myself and Mx Krabs in that category
or singles who are now eating two portions I would say :LOL:

OT I don’t know anything about John Wyndham, but I have been to the Wyndham Theatre...that makes me both an author AND a playwright, no?

On topic, how long until Jack next deactivates Twitter for the good of everyone’s mental health again?

Surely some of the squiggles will feel puzzled as to why Jack hasn’t retweeted MR’s good news about his book today, given how close they are??

Imagine if someone served you this at a dinner party? I would simply have to get my partner to ring me with a fake emergency.

Dry looking squid ink pasta/noodles, chewy lemon, tinned sardines and tomato puree? Nah x

I know ink noodles are a thing, but, that seriously looks like those worms you get in the ocean. Like honestly, that image has gone gif in my mind and those noodles be squirming :sick:

Squid ink was once described to me by a
cephalopod expert as “tactical escape jizz” and I’ve never looked at black pasta the same way since

Why is it so dryyyyyy 😭 It's barely recognisable as food. If I were attending her dinner party I'd fortunately get the vegan option, which is knackered lemon slices and reconstituted tomato purée over charcoal jackfruit with some undercooked Linda's meatballs slung on top 👩‍🍳💋

I'm low key obsessed by this dish. Why is it served in a big, dirty pot too? That pot looks dry AF, the worm noodles couldn't have been boiled up in it, so why dump them in the crappy pot, then dump the rest in on top?!

WHY, JACK, WHHHHHYYY?????

Can you imagine opening a couple of tins of sardines for 'friends' when you have a freezer full of quality fish. She could treat them to an abundant fritto misto perhaps?
