Noooooooo how could you even suggest such a thing. You could however substitute rotten gooey coriander. Herbs are interchangeable but they must be in a state that will risk your health.

Question about the 'recipe' on JM website - can I substitute fresh mint for the straggly old mint?
It just amazes me how many stories she tells of experiences a lot of people won’t ever get to have and no one notices that this doesn’t tie in with the whole ‘I’m poor’ narrative and she can’t see that not everything is about money and she’s had some huge opportunities in life that others can only dream of and still she plays the victim.Happy 300 canal!

It’s a Vienetta! That most Italian of desserts. How fitting.What's on our heads? Are they hats? Looks like a hotdog. Or a Vienetta.
But why though ?It’s a Vienetta! That most Italian of desserts. How fitting.
Vienetta was my first thought tooWhat's on our heads? Are they hats? Looks like a hotdog. Or a Vienetta.
I am starting to get the feeling that many of the things she claims to do, never materialise. That's just me though!I guess we’re not getting the George Useless piece now then….
Oh my word you're right! It's just for this thread... Brilliant!THE VIENETTAS ARE NOT ON OTHER THREADS JUST THIS ONE!!!!!
Is it just for us for thread 300? @Pocahontas @Yel ?
Personal Waffle re classSoz, I typed too slow to fit this on the last thread so now it's going here where it's no longer relevant.
I think growing up in a middle class liberal family comes with a lot of contradictions. The overt messaging is that you should always remember how lucky you are, be understanding of anyone less fortunate, and not stereotype or judge others. But what usually happens in practice is that your parents can afford to live in a nice area, so you go to a decent school and make friends with other kids from 'nice' families, and basically don't cross paths with many working class people - def not ones who fit the Shameless or 'get all the illegals out' stereotypes. Then when you do encounter people like that you feel uncomfortable because you're in an unfamiliar situation and don't fit in, the same way a kid from an inner city comp would feel uncomfortable if they suddenly found themselves surrounded by kids from Eton, except that in your case it comes with a load of guilt because you've spent your whole life being told it's bad and wrong to feel that way. Not anyone's fault, it's just how things work out.
Add on top of that sneery media tropes about 'the bank of mum and dad' and general stereotypes that suburbanites are dull/clueless and a teenage identity crisis is practically inevitable. Most teenagers are kind of dumb, so we deal with it by doing things like trying to make ourselves sound more working class, getting really embarrassed about anything that might mark us out as 'posh', and adopting completely random and contradictory political takes depending on what we think makes us sound most open-minded at the time (e.g. "anyone opposed to unlimited immigration is a Nazi fascist", but five minutes later "we need to stop stereotyping working class northerners as bigots"), not realising that everyone else sees through all this and we're being extremely cringe.
For normal people, there comes a time where you realise other people have better things to think about than your background and interests, and as long as you're not a snobby twat no-one cares. At that point you learn to just be yourself instead of trying to think the 'right' way all the time. But for an emotionally stunted slopgoblin like Jack, I think she's still stuck in the teenage mindset of being convinced that everyone else is thinking about her at all times, and as a result she's still really self-conscious about all this pointless shit that any well-adjusted person would have stopped worrying about by the time they turned 22. That's why a lot of her behaviour seems so random, like lashing out at Gu puddings or needing to agree with the squigs about EVERYTHING even when it makes no sense - she doesn't have a coherent personality, she's trying to guess how to behave based on her ideas about how other people think, but most of her guesses are wildly off target and so her resulting actions often look erratic and bizarre. Just my opinion, obvs.
