That’s the second time this week I’ve seen a reference to those Johnny the Painter sketches (the other one was via Twitter). Cracks me up every time.

I won’t be watching that video (after reading others opinions). I hate waste but I am not going to eat something that makes you immediately vomit it back up. Insanity. Attention seeking madness.
Again (gosh, I say it a lot, and always think of the obvious Simpsons meme) I hope her kid is excluded from her antics. Poor sod, it’s hard enough, the leap to secondary school to begin with - to do it with this performative nonsense freely available to all and sundry, is just awful. I hope he has his dads second name and she gives the school gates a wide berth (although parents evenings are a giveaway - she will turn up with her sleeves rolled up and her massive BOY cap on, just to grab the looks.

It's so weird. Obviously, I try not to waste stuff, but sometimes you just have to accept that something (for whatever reason) needs to get thrown out. Making yourself puke in the name of 'stopping waste' is just stupid.That video.
That is truly someone who hates food. Someone who would rather gag and retch on food, than throw something revolting away.
This has reminded me of my Dad, who would do random clear out meals and call them 'mucky stew' (and yes, it was generally awful) His most infamous was a calamari and lettuce creation that only he valiantly plowed through, only to confess a week later it was the worst thing he'd ever eaten
Ninnies this has been comedy gold. The archives of slop are so extensive that Jack’s presence is no longer needed.
To paraphrase Shaznay’s tearful acceptance speech from a 90s Brit awards (niche?) - It’s amazing how something so good can come from something so so so bad.

why is she drinking the fat from Monica’s fridge?!Found this.... Apparently she has a house rule that they don't waste food.

she doesn't even blink until she nearly pukes.
just staring and gulping... it's unnerving
It really is ED behaviour.It's so weird. Obviously, I try not to waste stuff, but sometimes you just have to accept that something (for whatever reason) needs to get thrown out. Making yourself puke in the name of 'stopping waste' is just stupid.

For many years I had a pretty disordered relationships with food and I've only sorted it out in recent years. One main aha moment (thankyou Oprah) was when I realised that I am not a bin. I don't need to finish everything or eat something because it's about to go off. I hate food waste, but I also try to love my body.
I can personally attest to this

Truly pains me to write this but I think SB has now served his purpose. Not so cute (or compliant) as he grows up.

But why is she drinking the dishwater?
What the actual duck is that video?!
I know this won't bother some people, but now that I've seen it I can't unsee it and it grates my mushrooms. The middle set of shelves, just behind her head, is higher than the rest. If you have one shelving unit higher than the others, put it somewhere else, do not break up the symmetry.
Put it on the end of the run, put it on another wall, put it in another room, but DO NOT PUT IT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RUN OF SHELVES.
I feel better now.
ETA, for those that don't know, I like things orderly.

It's like a Jackass sketch. (Though agree that it's classic ED behaviour).
I thought we floured our hands not oiled them ?
Yeah, I'm so gonna buy her booksFound this.... Apparently she has a house rule that they don't waste food.
Why did she have so much green tea powder? Was she selling Juice Plus or something?
I do remember a tarka dal recipe from her that I came to through the vegan society's website when I did a vegan challenge.
I liked it, but when I looked for other recipes I found some that we much nicer (the Jack one has a lot of tomatoe. She really is
obsessed with tinned tomatoes)

That pineapple ring reminds me of some of the darker corners of the internet.The masochist in me kind of wants to make a Jack recipe too. I do have a lot of weird tins in my cupboard.
I went to look at her recipe page and she actually did the vegan chicken thing! I must have missed it when I was grunkaing. It’s the wordiest recipe I’ve ever seen in my life.
Spicy Jackfruit Patties With Pineapple Hats, 74p [VEGAN]
This recipe is in partnership with Del Monte and is the vegan counterpart to the Upside Down Pineapple Chicken featured in the May issue of Delicious Magazine (which is available from supermarkets,…cookingonabootstrap.com
Thank you! I have tried making crumpets before with all kinds of lemon juice faffing around and never had a great result. I didn't know Warburtons had shared their recipe.
