Jack Monroe #182 Extraneous brine

Perhaps ask @MancBee before trying this?
it’s taken every ounce of self control I possess not to reply ‘send for the onion police!’.
(The original question was from someone who had got some cheap Paxo and didn’t know how to use it but was thinking of adding pork sausage and some other stuff. These people deserve what they get).

Also, Jack must have gone looking for this tweet from over one year ago to like it in the last hour or so

Gah, my inward cringing is so hard on this I’m going to end up with a six pack. Oh, Jack.

Why not use cornflour? Surely it's be cheaper?

Not one newspaper/news outlet is running with the ‘Boris responded to the Super League very quickly’ angle, so why would they be contacting her for a quote about it?? Just bleeping state your opinion instead of trying to make yourself seem more important by claiming it’s the opinion of the national press too.

I see Captain Salty is back on board!

It's way too early for a thread title, but 'Captain Salty, back on board' should be a good one.

They drive me bleeping mad. If you saved your advances you’d have a deposit!!!

I was pretty sure that for Jack's second book she bought two Burberry coats because the shop assistant was rude to her for being a pov, then Allegra told her she wasn't butch enough for them. If she ALSO bought Viv trousers then that is hilarious, because the second book was a bit of a failure. Don't count your chickens...

In looking for the receipts (which I couldn't find), I did stumble across this - a conclusion of sorts to the royalty theft drama, worth having for posterity:

Good god squiggle don’t make her do that because then the lies will be revealed

Has either Tom or Marcus started following her on Twitter yet?

 

[bladiesla]

As for what she wears, I really don't give a flying jackfruit about it. Wear what you want and what pleases you, honestly.

But how can she be so annoyingly 'I am soooo maverick and a big ol' lesbian for combining these things' about it? When I was still following her and thought she was a genuine food person, all that performative and cringey non-content just annoyed me .

I might leave a Boden catalogue on the crappy bungalow’s doorstep.

That’s what we all wear nowadays.

All sorts for the wiki on that thread reader app!

Here she does that Mumsnet thing where DM ripping off her recipe is worse because she's a single mum. I hate that - so if someone steals my work, that's less of a crime because I don't have children? Thanks Jack!

BTW a few gems on that site - in one thread she claims to have been earning "almost forty grand" between three jobs at 21:

Fine for a day at the circus

It's like jack monroe has had their moment and is behaving like a pub bore who people humour and forget what their real glory days were as the "I coulda been a contender" vibe has obscured it. Marcus and Tom are doing real cooking and activism, Jamie had a lockdown how to programme, Nadia is doing the people stuff. Jack monroe is fast becoming irrelevant and past their sell by date. You can bet there's a good reason that the Marcus PR machine is keeping him well away from JM.

 

[waffle maker]

hahah @colouredlines we are doing exactly the same thing. My next is the one where she says she never quote tweets.
