What a load of bullshit. Every supermarket has them. Such a liar.

ASDA have them all over the place in these supermarkets usually next to the fresh veg. I have seen them in other supermarkets as well. Obviously too high up on the stand for a puppy-brained smol pixie to notice

This is how microplastics get into our waterways. #ecoJack

Honestly I only went to put jacket spuds in and make a pear and chocolate cake ( not Jack's, River cottage recipe) and she's gone shopping with a" friend"for all the tomatoes on a busy day in awful weather. Surely someone with Jack's skill set could not shop for an extra day. I get round the eggs expense by using large boxes of medium free range eggs and sometimes chucking in an extra one f theo.

 

[SweetTransvestite]

Poo greens, surely? Which is what you'd be doing after eating the slop a few pages back.

 

[KebabGirl]

I can imagine Jack reading this on her morning Gunka, seething and doing her best Norma Desmond impression.

"I am big, it's the brands that got small"

Thread title!

Isn't fasolada a sort of soup @HotesTilaire ?

Yes, absolutely. I noticed that the handwritten bean recipe photo was headed 'fasollia', which isn't a soup.

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

Just because I can’t resist a good Instagram scroll and just for you , found this gem nestled between all the salad bag pesto shots (nothing about JO that I can see) and marmite scones. Those were the days my friends.

I always read the 14 hour days line and think, 14 hours of prep and you didn't even think to point yourself at the camera? What were you prepping?

How did your interview go ? Xxx

 

[Hollaaa]

The wigs... We never did see them again, did we? So were they yet another of her frivolous spends, that are now gathering dust somewhere in that charity shop of a bungalow?

Dyed black ?

(I did think there was some scaffolding doing a lot of work in that lying-back-shove-‘em-up pose)

 

[TurnedUpInTipp]

I’ll go on his website and have a little poke around…. Did she tip him afterwards I wonder for his free recipes?

she’s jealous of success. It’s harder to be critical of other woman because it looks more like sour grapes. Jack was offered a career on a plate but has been too bone idle to do anything about it, but is surprised she isn’t wildly successful and wealthy. The lack of effort she puts into her books says everything. She thinks as long as the recipes are cheap it doesn’t matter. Like Naydia she could have started off as one thing and increased her repertoire to something with broad appeal and increased her work chances. Instead it’s just ‘cheap’ and ‘tinned’ for a decade.

Does anyone else cook in pairs apart from the Hairy Bikers (and Fanny Craddock and her husband)? It’s not actually a thing is it. They aren’t that desperate for TV presenters they put someone shit with someone good and hope it balances out.

The BBQ ladies from Wales? Do they count?

 

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

Two Fat Ladies! I stand corrected. How about Two Shit Cooks as a reboot?

 

[SquattyPotty]

Splash out on more sustainable underwear then, you can afford it after all you Gruff Muffin.

Or just rinse your pants with your bum gun if you want to keep playing made-up poor.

Gruff Muffin.

Dead.

 

[Rekyavikgirl]

I like the way we’re not mentioning she also took photos of her slop with her tongue on her jolly jaunt to Edinburgh and I apologise for bringing it up.

I brought something up reading that

 

[fauxpoor]

You're still a serial loser, Jack.

Thread title nominomination!

[TurnedUpInTipp]

Ffs, seriously!?

The Patreon shout out is a comment under that.

 

[Captainmouse]

Where’s jacks hot take on labours shoot the terrorist first, ask questions after, comment?

 

[Adayinthelife]

I have nothing to add about Jack, she's still an absolute clown, but I am just popping in to say I actually bloody love tinned spuds!
If I am feeling uber lazy, we will have fishfingers, tinned spuds and skettyhoops for tea. And if I cba to make lunch, I will just grab a tin of spuds and take them to work to dip in some salad cream.

I know, I am gross & know less about food than Jackie

I too bloody love tinned spuds
#TinnedSpudLoversUnite

and cooking bacon…

but I make no claims to be a cook or a saviour of the povs…
