Jack Monroe #300 Fauxcialist

[kachoochoo]

This is completely off topic but I just have to share that my mind was blown recently when I read a thread on m*****T recently and found out that you do pasta bake with raw pasta. I always thought pasta got cooked first. Clearly I need Jack’s Italian cookbook to help me!

eh, you can just soak pasta in cold water first, obviously

for all the fraus who don't think they can read thread 31, please do. it was amazing

my highlight will always be #mysadlittleface

 

[Sideboard Bob]

Just want to add I love seeing the lurkers and rare posters too. Totally understand what it’s like feeling shy before posting, so I’m so glad you all did!

@Jack_M that doesn’t apply to you.

 

[Griftymcgriftface]

What on earth, is this something people do?? I've always par boiled the pasta so it's almost done but not quite, then put it in the oven with the sauce and cheese etc. to cook the rest of the way. That's the way my mum has always made it, although for lasagna she would use uncooked pasta sheets. I will have to consult my Italian brother-in-law to see which method is correct, although somehow I doubt tuna pasta bake is an authentic Italian dish.

Apparently it is SUPPOSED to be put in raw with the pasta sauce. The MN thread was basically giving off because PH (poor husband) had bought the wrong pasta bake sauce that you couldn’t do this with.

I think it has come from TikTok. I’ve seen the videos on Instagram.

Shamelessly stolen from dear heart @Smeghead and probably a bit mean. Sorry not sorry.

Please don’t evict me but eating vienetta as a grown up, I realised it’s totally shite
I just had some haagen dasz it’s fancy but not Italian

 

[ChocolateMuffin]

Pasta needs to be boiled or on a very high heat for at least 10 minutes. Lasagne is a very thin pasta so that's fair do's.. you can have that Italy. But duck off can you cook penne pasta from dried in an oven with sauce. I'm a literal pasta expert. My OH went to Italy once and she wanks on about it constantly. Have a good evening.

Viennetta is life.

Ben and Jerry's is shite when you try Hagan das....not spelt correctly

 

[floozifer]

hello fellow library Frau, I think there are a few of us on the thread!
I had a shelf check for Good Food for Bad days a few weeks ago but I left it for a colleague to do, but that’s the first time I’ve ever seen anyone have any interaction with her books I think.

Hello back!
I noticed a smol flurry of reservations when she was all up in the news for the inflation bollocks. When I say flurry I noticed one so had a look and there were 3 for the county.I had a very great desire to sneakily cancel them.

 

[ChickenPorridge]

Fabulous to see so many new friends delurking - come one come all!

Everytime she's quiet now I just assume another holiday or fancy minibreak. Smartprice maize snack, anyone? #poor

 

[floozifer]

Ooh look what I just found............GAVOTTE!!!

In the pumble
welcome to the pumble
its gonna bring you to your knees!

 

[kachoochoo]

just realised I haven't done anything particularly creative or funny for thread 300, so I've had a lil trawl through my gallery for some greatest hits. think of them as the peach and chickpea curry of my output

the mask (coming up to the mask's anniversary, what could surpass this?)

this is evergreen

and that time I did this to jack and zak for reasons that remain unclear

 

[SlopAmbsase]

By the power of thread 300 I manifested my own chaos today so I’m chilling the duck down by looking at gifs gone by. It’s making me feel very nice so here you are, canal

The T-1slop. Will assemble around any molten lard puddle and will chop awkwardly with its stabby arm:

Hamburglar Jack (when Jack insinuated that we robbed her garage, maliciously rifled through her cuttings and stole Grandad’s rusty Le Creuset):

Jaketh:

J1geth:

Trageth:

And that weird bit back in January when she dyed all her clothes black and became a Joth:

I hope when that alarm goes off in November for the Christmas leftover Caesar salad she accidentally knocks it off for good and it never materialises again,
Jack has the biggest back burner in the world,

 

[Soapy Dolphin]

I’ve had a tough couple of days so great to see the cabal in such rude health.
Had some Brunswick ham dipped in Tuscan olive oil earlier - seems appropriate for a Frau on Viennetta Day. No actual Viennetta but I am currently smashing a mini Magnum into my face. Gavotting, gavotting!
Just your regular, completely on topic, informative post.

It's a chunky Mediterranean back burner.

 

[Marj24]

Apologies for the me-rail but the Viennettas brought me back to 1984, aged 20 and my first dinner party in my new home.

I invited three school friends. We had garlic mushrooms for starters, JM portions as I miscalculated and only got 6oz of mushrooms from the green grocer. Lasagne from scratch for main with salad and then Viennetta for pud, because as a 20 year old I thought it was the mutt's nuts!

Although I now rarely have it, still love the Viennetta and do wish they still did the biscuit one.

Loved the MN DKL thread. My favourite line (I'm paraphrasing) she seems to specialise in cheap and cheerless food ( I know too early!).
