@Cookiecookie That recipe you posted šŸ˜³ Do all of Jackā€™s recipe preambles basically say ā€œThis dish is terribleā€¦ awful. Nothing like the dish that I wanted to recreate. Donā€™t botherā€.

She literally called this recipe an abomination. And she expects people to want to try it? Did anyone proof read this bleeping thing?
The word tindade makes me want to walk into the sea.

Had to tell you all about my dream last night. I dreamt that I messaged my sister a totally mad nonsense sentence ā€¦ something like ā€œneed to get sandwich ā€¦..ā€ and in my dream we were laughing about this, and I was telling her Iā€™d done this in a fugue state a la Monroe and I couldnā€™t wait to get on Tattle and tell you all. Anyway here I am, telling you about a dream I had in which I told you about something Iā€™d done, but I didnā€™t do it. This must be what jacks world is like šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ sorry for the ramble just had to share my alcohol induced madness.

Wow the Vienetta hats are incredible. What a treat. *FANCY PERSON KLAXON* I have a birthday themed Vienetta in the freezer that I bought in Waitrose the other day. Today might be the day to crack it open

I canā€™t believe the level of effortless sophistication flex here, of just having a vienetta in the freezer already.

The publisher was probably busy with the real cookery books that people actually read, not just ones they chuck to the povos to feel better about themselves.

There have been times where Iā€™ve had to edit terrible writing and have gone back and forth with the writer so many times, I just canā€™t be arsed anymore. I either write it myself or just say ā€˜duck itā€™. I can imagine the poor editor approving this and pouring themselves a large scotch thinking about the horror theyā€™ve unleashed on the world.

If we all google jack Monroe and click through (have to click through and then not immediately close!) to the wiki it would fly up the results.

A lot of them do, yes. I've never come across another cook who describes their food quite like Jack. She's got even more revolting descriptions in Tin Can Cook.

Happy 300 my Hive of Villainy Frauen! This is such a lovely, witty, intelligent space and my favourite thing about it that we come from such a variety of walks in life and beliefs and we still get on and are kind to each other.

far from being a hive of villainy, this is honestly the kindest most genuine spaceIā€™ve found on the internet.

Vienetta was the posh dessert my grandmother brought out for special Sunday lunches with the whole family:ROFLMAO::giggle: My favourite part was the curly ice cream on the sides. I always used to scrape that off first.

On autism: whilst I do not know anyone IRL who has an Autism Spectrum Disorder (that I know of !) I have read enough by neurodivergent people to know that the Rain Man / Sia Music / Hollywood LARP that Jack does is NOT it and that many ND people find it actively offensive. I find it hard to believe that Jack, who claims to be clever and well read (she has the communist manifesto on her bookshelf!) does not know this. Why has no one told her?

Iā€™m so excited that we have our own canal hats (although I always feel a bit sorry for Rik and Ade having to share).
If I wasnā€™t going out for my birthday* meal with my family later Iā€™d deffo be getting a Vienetta to celebrate.

*before any kindly fraus wish me happy birthday my birthday was actually in January.

Then you must post them! Maybe start a Recipe Of The Day slot. Itā€™ll be a shitshow, but an entertaining shitshow.

Happy Thread 300 you ninnies! Thanks for all the hooting, receipts and screenshots. Unbelievable to think Jack is still here tweeting away and hasn't changed one bit.

Why do we all have viennettas on our heads?

šŸŽ‰ I feel like we should all get Cornettos on our heads to celebrate the 300 and that jack now identifys as Italian or somefink! šŸ‡®šŸ‡¹
Ah, I see what happened!
