I’m sure I’ve seen that on the Bristol Stool ChartIt's a pickled gherkin apparently according to this article @Griftymcgriftface for some reason the accompanying picture of a single massive gherkin on a plate is sending me.

Welcome on board the Monroelacoaster!Joining in with the delurking since it's a special occasion... Joined Tattle for the Pip Schofield drama and started reading Jack's thread as it was always the most liked. Feel like a voyeur as I didn't know who she was previously, but her antics are incredulous and frau/herrs knowledge and wit has seen me through a lot of insomnia. I've missed out on many a hat and the kumquat salon, so I didn't want to miss this one too. TOOT TOOT and happy 300!
Mine woke me up with an epic tantrum because her food was 30mins late. Gotta love cats.Just wanted to get in on this historic occasion to see my bespoke hat and say you're all great (not you, Jack) and it's wonderful to see Silver back with her Spite Orangery pics.
Going back to lay in bed wide awake and be screamed at by my cats until my alarm goes off at 7 now. They've learned some new stupid noises recently, so that's fab.
Ah lol this reminds me of DKL Jack in the second week where she suddenly started larping like she was a live telly veteran, flinging TV parlance around and staying up half the night reading WW2 recipeseh, 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

Coming from the past to say this post deserves all the likes - and to see how my hat looks.This means nothing to meeeeeee
Vienettaaaaaaaaa
IT MEyou even found kumquat to keep me company
but who is the chap in the chair?
Freaky Friday (Sali Hughes played a blinder there )Loving all the lurkers coming out to say hello. Any others? Tell us what brought you here in the first place
Or she’s gone gavotting off on another mini break with OH.It’s quite interesting that Monroe seems to have stopped tweeting on weekends? Good for her, in a way.
It does though lend weight to the idea that she considers tweeting ‘work’, and has thus decided to give herself weekends from this apparent daily grind. Which of course, puts her whole “100 hour weeks” into ever clearer perspective.
I think what Jack fails to grasp is that an Italian dish might use four raw ingredients - say, tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, basil. Whereas Jack's idea of four ingredients would be a tin of stewed steak, a tin of spam, a packet of mixed veg (yellow sticker), and I dunno, some bleeping maize snacks. Which...is not quite the same.Also her claim that a weekend in Venice has changed her entire cooking philosophy and she’s now going to use fewer ingredients as in classic Italian cuisine? Whilst it’s nice that she’s no longer going to recommend overengineered slop with a million and one wacky ingredients, the challenge with only using 4 /5 ingredients and really letting them sing is you need those ingredients to be of the finest quality and you need proper chef skills, or a real cultural heritage, to treat those ingredients properly to bring out the best in them. In the kindest possible way, this is not really Jack’s skill set.
Bet she puts on her best weekend socks though...It’s quite interesting that Monroe seems to have stopped tweeting on weekends? Good for her, in a way.

Go for it - it’s not cringe it’s delicious ! The surprise when she rocks up even tho u know she does - the being ignored by the canal - being unfunny it is chefs kiss xI need to make a confession…I still haven’t grunked the mythical thread 31 because I’m too scared of the second hand cringe!! I can’t bear embarrassment!!! Even someone else’s (I don’t know why I’m weird ok it’s like the moomin fear and the fear I have of getting my foot stuck in a giant clam even though I have never even seen or swum near one)
I remember it at the time, it was the “gotcha” moment not hitting the mark at all for me and no one popping up to go “leave Jack alone actually!”Go for it - it’s not cringe it’s delicious ! The surprise when she rocks up even tho u know she does - the being ignored by the canal - being unfunny it is chefs kiss x
