Does anyone else ever just be going about their daily business and then all of a sudden Jack's smoothie breakfast bowl phase pops into the forefront of your mind and you come-to a while later, rocking back and forth in the corner, sweating?
I’m still waiting to find out what chicken porridge actually is!!
Are those pigs in knickers huge or is that a shriveled up poussin?
It all looks very odd and unappetising. Also known as being Monroed.
I can't even remember what we had for xmas dinner last year, but I remember Jack's Express pullout atrocities vividly 
I regret this username too much, vile!!!
Imagine having to eat an entire bowl of citric slop before cycling from Southend to (west?) London, Louisa must have been pebble dashing those A roads both ends bless her

From an interview about ‘Good for Bad…..’ (I can’t bring myself to finish writing that title):
‘I use cooking as partly meditation, partly therapy, partly self-care and partly an adventure.‘
I can’t be the only one who has Gene Wilder‘s Willy Wonka voice in their head saying “And 2% butterscotch ripple”?

Imagining LJC shoving it all in a bin bag while Jack was off IGing it… “it was so delicious I ate it all in one bite Jack”
then it going in the nearest bin when she gets out
The vegan veg peel "centrepiece"...which would be the only thing on the menu any vegans/veggies unfortunate enough to get an invitation would be able to eat anyway because literally everything else had either lard or sausage juice in itI can't even remember what we had for xmas dinner last year, but I remember Jack's Express pullout atrocities vividly
And the witchetty grub prawn cocktail...the flaccid parsnips...the terrifying mouldy brain dessert (with accompanying chainsaw noises)...duck me, it really was the Christmas Dinner of nightmares.

Just a suggestion for anyone who is ever tempted to try one of JM's recipes, Google! If it sounds a reasonable concept, it will have been done before by someone who can write a recipe that actually works. If no suggestions come up, step away! It is too maverick, don't risk wasting good ingredients...
You can always check with the cabal, some have tried
Quite astonishing considering she recommend you cook them for an hour
Those massive pigs in blanket sausages look undercooked
and she insisted that it had been tested by THREE home economists (always three with JM) when a squiggle had the temerity to suggest that an hour was too long!
You've hit the(Jimmy) nail on head there.
All the supermarkets have in recent years done a cheap as chips Christmas Dinner recipe/shopping list.
Jack doesn't give a tit about animal welfare (crappy bacon etc) so buying a 4 quid chook is not beyond her.
She also thinks 'the poors' are in someway lesser humans who can barely open a can of beans let alone purchase an actual bottle of bubble bath without putting the contents of your compost bin in it.
She genuinely believes that the disgusting (paid for by Del Monte) advertorial in The Express was some kind of shining light beacon for the poor.
It wasn't. It was disgusting. No one would eat that.
and don’t forget that this was at the point where she was trying to win louisa back…They were full of Enormous Breakfast Porridge thanks to Jack's cunning plan

If I’d had porridge I’d still want roast potatoes unless:
A. Porridge was so awful the thought of more of her cooking was too horrific
B. Knowing roast potatoes would be terrible anyway
C. A&B
After Christmas dinner at my mother in laws we would have another one when we came home a few days, it was that bad.
