These are bloody brilliant - hooting so much. Wish I could like/respond with a heart and laughing emoji. Beautiful work as always Alan!

Jack was incapable of following Mom's recipe but felt the need to try to prove to us that she had a go anyway, despite not having most of the ingredients or equipment needed.
She did better here

Cripes i hope those salamies arent a birthday present.

And amidst all this, she was under constant onslaught by the viggles AND cancelled by Leftist Twitter.

I still sometimes wake myself up cringing with "Your comrade, Jack Monroe" rattling around my head.

That’s your Cath Kidston bitch

 

[ChickenPorridge]

Decked! It probably was, I got so carried away at (almost) seeing the word jobbies on Tattle

It is indeed what I meant! My da always said 'jobsies' which I think was of course a descendant from the Actual Scots word, jobbies!

Let's all take a minute to quietly reflect that on this most auspicious of days, a mere five years ago, the world was first treated to Self Love Stew. What.a.day.

(Really I just wanted an excuse to see my anchovy in his wig)

I don't know what makes me feel more sick - the food or the caption gross, cringe, just no.

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

300 jobs ookkay. She has bar and supermarket experience. She has experience on phones for the fire service.
I would expect she would pick up something easily (if that’s all true).

Also was her grandfather born in cyprus or did his parents move to england. That also means he would be an English citizen.

Also i dont know for certain but judging by the rough time frame he would came to the UK ie fifties. He would have probably needed a visa and English citizenship.

I think nigella needs to be turned the right way out after cringing so hard. Bless her.

That tart actually looks okay. I'm not as skeptical as some here that she made it, but the whole "what you put is a slightly misleading view of how perfect you are" business is so performative.

I think she put it together, but I'd bet cash money it's shop bought filo...

I have one early night and I miss the wigs

We've got 900 posts left - still time!! I'd wig-ify you but I'm not a qualified hairdresser like the others

@Alansbigplate i love these 2 so much, I’ve commandeered the Friend one as my new avatar, hope that’s ok. I’m aware of in awe of your body of work x

 

[Boyo]

Put it in a jar in the freezer.

Lid off, obvs.

 

[Django]

Ha ! Combining perfectly good ingredients into something that nobody could eat is her specialty. She doesn’t eat it or she would have had some chronic tummy thing. That is her work ! It’s lucrative. On the one hand I wish I had thought of it first but on the other...nope.
It’s all a lie.

Fair dues.

Am no physicist, but can’t help but wonder that surely frozen green runners have a different cooking time to raw carrots…

I think the carrots are pre-cooked, just like the potatoes. She's just slung them in there at the end so they won't soak up any of the 'curry' flavour.

 

[Traazers]

Seeing everyone in their bekumquatted glory today is bringing me tears of joy. I cry, I die.

Here you go @Raver_Bear you're simply ravishing, dear heart.

I wonder if we'll get Irritating Motivational Quotes Jack as a result of this?

Did anyone else see this thread title and thought what I thought?!

You beat me too it I typed the following on the train but it wouldn’t load
Someone has started a thread

Talk to me about potatoes

The only potatoes worth talking about is a roast potatoe. Wedges can be on the bottom tier. Bin the rest

tattle.life

are they not aware of her body of work?

 

[Lanie]

The thing is she shouldnt pretend to be anyone. She can definately acknowledge that she has ancestry but she should not try and claim to be from the country.

I get that the Greek Cypriots were extremely proud of their heritage and rightly so. Her grandad probably lovingly talked of it and things they did, ate etc but she should not try and stake her claim using his memories.

 

[Raver_Bear]

Happy thread 200!!! This cabal of ninnies have kept me and for so long now. I wonder if we will get a special Twitter chaos today in honour of such a number?
Also loving the wigs… and if someone could give my bear a wig I would be very grateful thank(space)you

The way Jack holds and uses the cooking utensils is so awkward. I thought the way she used a knife was bad enough, but she holds that spoon like it is a weapon. Jack is cack handed and it is uncomfortable to watch.
