On last night's insta cabbage action - she posted a pic of an empty bowl with a caption like LOOK AT THIS WE DEFINITELY ATE IT ALL SO NOW I HAVE NO PICS OF THE COMPLETED DISH TO SHOW YOU .... followed immediately by a pic of said cabbage and mac and cheese

I honestly cannot think about that photo of mac and cheese without feeling a bit sick...at this point I cannot believe she isn't just trolling us because no one could possibly think that looks appetising?!

And over 10 years of producing cookbooks yet she still seems to think that kimchi is something that requires being 'brave' to make (here's a secret for you Jack: kimchi is actually very, very easy to make if you possess even just the tiniest fraction of culinary skill)

I think any lingering doubt that Trifle Defender keeps up with these threads is gone...

She is one of us and she knows…

Shame Jack didn't venture further from her aparthotel room to find the rare eateries of London full of these weird and wonderful ingredients! Kimchi is everywhere, it's nothing special!

Does SB not need a hearty brekkie today? No porridge and greasy fried narnas today?

Three grid posts for one tenth of a cabbage - not even chronologically listed - speechless

Truly bizarre because that's clearly a bowl that's been scraped directly into the bin.

Isn't vinegary cabbage basically Sauerkraut?
Has she 'invented' Sauerkraut?

 

[Emmapism]

Morning cabal! How are we all doing? I'm adjusting to being back at my WFH desk after an extended break but it's nice to be back at it. Days do go faster.

Jack is using Insta like my 60 something parents would if they had it

She's certainly invented pickled cabbage.

I wonder how her mum always got her cabbage so buttery?! Perhaps it was by ... adding butter

Very similar 'PAAAARP' sounds, I'd wager

 

[SweetTransvestite]

Vlad! You naughty, naughty boy...

...It's the Clinical Waste bags for me

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

A) why is she boiling THEN frying thinly sliced cabbage and then putting vinegar on it??! POBP and butter on would have been fine

B) the fridge clearer was clearly a desperate intervention as her house is a Temple of Botulism

SHE CANT AFFORD BUTTER!

why the duck would you boil and fry it. Oh yeah. Slop.

I love Trifle Defender

Not many kids will willingly eat cabbage so most schools wouldnt have attempted it, most veg would have been peas, green beans and carrots. We sometimes got carrot and parsnip mashed together at Christmas time for Christmas school dinners. Its foul i hated it. My mum serves it christmas and just like my sprouts i force it down.

I had cabbage for school dinners, but that was in the 1960’s!

 

[MaineCoonMama]

We didn't get school dinners in South Australia. We had to bring our own or get a lunch order from the canteen. Ate plenty of cabbage at home though!

I hope she doesn't go back to the Polish grocers and discover fake pickled cabbage. I hear it's just opposite the notJaffa cakes.

Something is bothering me. Its stupid but why does she eat out of bowls?


I only eat pasta, cereal, soup and stew out of bowls.

I think it's a diet thing, my mum eats out of bowls when she's on a 'diet', you can put less food in a bowl (unless you are my mum, who precariously heaps the food high).

So people don’t realise how teeny, tiny, smol the portions are. Side plate dinner plate are obvious, bowl especially with a teaspoon in ….. all smoke and mirrors

It's because everything has the consistency of slurry and a bowl stops it running off the sides of a plate.

Or as I like to think, escaping.
