I'd like to take a quick look at this:

View attachment 987206

When English speakers refer to ragù they usually mean ragù alla bolognese...aka bolognese sauce. This is the same sauce commonly used in lasagne, so the first 3 items on her 5-item list are the same thing.

Risotto is not even remotely slow-cooked.

Boeuf bourguignon can't really be made alcohol-free, because alcohol is the key ingredient. If someone told you they were making boeuf bourguignon and gave you (tinned?) beef in tea and tomato purée, you could probably have them for false advertising.

In short, Jack knows nothing about cooking. Again.
Does she think beef bourguignon is… Italian?

I’ve just had a gander - beautiful papers but the prices…😲
I had a hand printed TB wallpaper in my lounge of my last house (one wall - cost a fortune). It was absolutely beautiful but like all wallpaper, I grew a little tired of it after a few years but could never justify getting rid of it.

Anyway, back on topic: sofrito is so simple I can’t believe you’d need to take a photo of a jar to remember celery (1 part), carrot (1 part) and onion (2 parts).
Simplest of recipes use these ratios, meaning with her 3kg of carrots, she’s have needed 6kg onions and 3kg celery.

It’s little wonder she needs 100 fridges

So black tea makes tomato sauce, got it!

I did too! Was also fine after my first two apart from being tired and arm pain. Day after my booster I had chills, felt sick, no energy etc. On the plus side it was gone after 24 hrs.
Same here. First two AZ, no probs apart from sore arm, booster Pfizer, awful for 24 hrs afterwards. ☹
On topic - when is the squiggle uprising? She’s not even trying any more, it’s all so blatant.

Gives me so much anxiety too. Actually makes me panic to think of moving house with it all. HOW and why would you ever, ever accumulate all that stuff in a rental. I've genuinely never seen anything like it, and I live in a street with a proper hoarder that you would see on actual Hoarders
You know what, whenever I see her house and its clutter, it motivates me to go and have a clear out and a tidy up.
And I genuinely don't have many things, nor am I messy... that amount of crap can't be good for your health. Hugs to ninnies triggered by her hoard xx ❤🧡💞💚💙🧡

Also suggests that her next house is also going to be an absolute beast because otherwise she won’t fit it all in.
It’s such a bizarre way of living. If you go on rightmove and look at very big houses in the country none of them have sideboards filled with crockery because we live in an era with fitted kitchens? Her house is big but it’s filled wall to wall with tit

I am sorry and perhaps right now I am being mean but I looked at her kitchen side again and I think I need to wash my face. My pores feel glogged and it smells like fry ups

Speaking of Jack Does Italian...

In the run-up to the Brexit referendum, Jack decided to do a series of recipes celebrating the many cultures of Europe. This lasted for precisely one entry: pizza.

"the Sicilian chef who snuck across the ocean" suggests a poor understanding of both geography and immigration law. Later, Jack encourages people to put leftover tikka masala on their pizza, which is possibly the fastest way to piss off an Italian.


As a footnote, Jack's This Is England Brexit tag would later be used for mushroom rogan josh, ramen, and peanut butter frozen yogurt. If she ever returns to Tattle, WHY?! will be my one question for her.

I feel the same. I am imagining the texture if you ran your fingers over the counters 😬

Given our recent chat about smol kitchens and the delectable Rachel Khoo, this has to count as trolling of some kind….

Lanie I hate to gross you out any further but when you zoom in on the floor you can see ... well I'm not sure exactly what it is but it looks like rat poo.
