Jack Monroe #220 Has Jack Monroe, director of on a bootstrap ltd paid her tax bill to HMRC yet?

[Lanie]

Are you telling me that the soya sauce and sesame oil I got from my local shop are actually neither local nor seasonal? But I bought them yesterday in [insert town of choice]. Surely that means they are an autumnal regional delicacy.

I might be maverick but isnt polish sausage from Poland? Has she gone to Europe on a jolly hence it now being a local delicacy?!

 

[Thank(space)you]

What the frig is this?

Has Jack got as sick of eating tinned fish as we have looking at it? Have sausages usurped the sardines?

So many questions. I'm off to ponder the answers while eating lunch (bread from the Warburtons factory, eggs from a free-range chicken's arse somewhere in Gloucestershire, butter from the fridge, salt from the packet of Radox Muscle Soak in the bathroom. It's all interchangeable, innit).

Spoiler: Drink

is it wise to use beer batter when recovering? Surely you would need beer to make it?

Jack did clarify it was alcohol free

Well the others don’t get washed and the porridge looks like too much POBP to me

Teeny place
Weird addition of vinegar
Bizarre combo of ingredients
We just need eggs and fish for the full house!

Yes, Jack's maverick little head, or maybe googling tempura vegetable recipes.

I’m re-reading the threads from last Christmas and this is Jack’s attempt at toad in the hole. Can someone tell me what the black specks are? Surely not POBP? I have never seen something look so unappetising!

Looks like mould.

That's a bit of cockney one. Older people in my family would sometimes say this.

My version is Billy Big Bollocks but I do like Jack the Biscuit.

Would she appear as a Bollock or a Biscuit...

 

[Lanie]

Two things of note...
1.the mac n cheese with sausage has not been included. Almost like she doesn't want people to look at it incase someone realises it is from Tesco.
2. She has lost a fucking laptop. A whole fucking computer gone missing and she doesn't give a shit.

Me thinks brambles and barley the the leader for the brambly mice have done Cooper's binding and made it disappear.

 

[Lanie]

She once claimed to be a “literal food expert” and I didn’t believe her when she said that either


I get what brioche is, it’s very enriched almost cake like bread. I can get on board with people liking the contrast of cheese. Or the spicy fruit of mincemeat. But all together? Isn’t that going to be wrong?

Yes! Too Short... Yes!

 

[Knit one Pearl one]

I listened to it all. Nothing much new. She still could do with a hanky in interviews.
I did like the detail that she was worried the Daily Mail would 'out' her at rehab and write about it
They haven't picked up the story yet have they?

In her dreams! Bet she was so disappointed.

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

call me crazy, but saving money is fine, Jack

Of course- hence why my two examples were “essentials”.

Not 10 wooden calculators

 

[Lanie]

Sprouts?
Sprouts in beer batter?
Someone is absolutely taking the piss.

Jack, this isn’t maverick. There’s a reason why no chef has ever made this dish into any sort of recipe book before, I’ll give you a hint why you ginormous whopper. Because they don’t go together, you’re not puppy brained, maverick, twee, you’re just a twat hoping one day you’ll get a viral tweet to feel special by strangers on the internet.

I'm actually enjoying this version of Jack. At least they're back to their USP of tinned food

 

[Shawads]

... Well played, Monroe, well played.

I'm on a grunk so have no idea if We're nearly at the point of #threadtitle nominations?

Where is the eye roll reaction when you need it

 

[L3moning]

Paradoxical Jack simultaneously being a smol 5 year old boy eating dib dabs whilst reminiscing about Marathon bars and early 80s kids tv.

A lot for 80s kids TV was repeated endlessly in the early to mid 90s, at which point someone decided that it might be a good idea to make some new stuff.

I dont remember Marathon bars though, and I'm two years older than Jack and have a good memory .

 

[Lanie]

Umm, I googled, I have observed… that is definitely not the outline in his trousers.

I bet he's smuggling some of her horrendous sausages down the there. You know for the greater good or some shit.

I joke of course.

 

[L3moning]

That's amole

When I read that post I got an earworm of Billy Joel's song.
'Little Rock, Pasternak, Mickey Mantle, Pasternak'

That looks edible!

I wonder if she made the roux with
We actually had some pigs in blankets for dinner, my daughter somehow sneaked them into the trolley and then freezer without me noticing and then pulled them out when I was putting stuff in the oven tonight.

(I don't think my spoiler worked after roux, it isn't showing on mine but might on yours)
