Is she taking the actual piss?? Stroganoff is Russian, but from Odesa which is now part of Ukraine as I understand it. I’m sure she’s doing this to trigger a Squig into saying this, so she has an excuse for a pile on?

Beef stroganoff is simple and delicious, but you swap an element out and I’m afraid it is a stroganoff no longer. All she had left of it is mushrooms!

Re portion sizes - per her costings, we’ve got 1 + 2/3 of a sausage per person, 50g of mushrooms (which is three!!), and 50g of rice, which is a very small portion. I personally portion rice at 75g per person, and that’s with proper sides with huge amounts of veg and protein. Her portions are dangerous and disingenuous, all to keep to her ridiculous budget that she doesn’t even need to follow.

Don’t recall mozzarella in the stock take, and it’s ok to let it rot and go to waste, eh Jack?

I signed up to THAT MAN’s app
I'm so ashamed. Out of the corner of my eye I read that as "THAT MAN's slop".

Late to the party, but...

Constituent: Excuse me, Mx Monroe....
Jack: I'm BUSY

Handy tip. Save yourself the trouble of turning your boxes inside out by not turning them inside out.

And mushroom bollocks stroganoff. 42p per portion, but you're going to eat it all yourself, so £1.26 per portion.

This business with people searching online for the Vimes Boots Index has me in stitches. It's all just mad. How can anyone take her seriously?

Could OH (if real, of course 🥸) be Polish? Would explain the Polish sausage she now has in every meal, buying lots of random animal parts for stews and harping on about being into that geographical region.

Mozzarella?!? She must have the constitution of an ox, if I lived on old cheese, meat and salad I'd be dead by now 😂

I met him on holiday in Menorca about 7 years i ago. I’d taken my 3 kids (single mum) and they were all under 10 at the time, he struck up a conversation saying he thought I was brave for holidaying alone with 3 kids. He was lovely 😍 I might get this book just to spite Jack 😀
he was my favourite on ready steady cook, him and Nick Nairn and Brian Turner. (I’m like Bruce Forsyth - you’re all my favourite)

Bleurgh coconut milk in a stroganoff? Why just why. It's not a stroganoff in any way Jack
Exactamondo, it is not like we are avoiding animal products and a small pot of single cream would be a similar price. In fact I would far rather have a mushroom stroganoff and forego the cheap sausages for a few chestnut mushrooms. We just had kidney bean and potato curry , Fraus it was lush, they were the main ingredients with onions and storyboard spices. Jack probably has everything in but maverickly wouldn't cook the onions and cumin seeds for long enough before adding anything else

Veiny Bollock Index Jack I *think* is my favourite Jack. She is so out of her depth it is hilarious. She commited to this stupid thing and now has to see it through 😂 But she can't 😂.
All the bluster at the beginning about how easy it was and would take her a weekend. Experts were twats for not doing it properly. She would show them. Many months later absolutely duck all to show for it and the most snivelling whiney excuses.
I would put money on her having done precisely nothing towards it and was hoping people would forget all about it.

ETA Bearing in mind Nigella {boo hiss} flagged up this vital work and encouraged people to back her financially so she could work on it.

Have spent almost 10 hours of today on the road so I’m way behind, however I’ve seen Jack’s stroganoff on Twitter & have only one question; what’s the budget for Rennies to go alongside these dishes?

People are suggesting some delicious sounding food on her thread and posting pictures of colourful and appetising dishes...soon we will have the tragic versions produced by the Queen of Slop. Enough to make a foodie weep

It might have been pointed out already, sorry if so, but did the person who tweeted about the Patreon say they were on the £12 a month tier? 😳
Most of them will be on this tier as a minimum. We keep saying '£2.5k a month' from patron but this is the absolute minimum. Most (like 99%) will be higher than that. My guesstimate is £5k a month. A more mathematical frau ( @heretoreaditall2019 ) might give a better guesstimate .
