Jack Monroe #312 She just throws adjectives at a page and hopes for the best

[Winthropp Tuesday]

Surely Jack is a wasteman by urban standards?

She’s the urban wasteman, baby
She’s got slop
She grifts everything she needs

She’s the urban wasteman, baby
She can’t write
She claims she’s no wi-fi

“Thumbed off the carcass”

.

That’s it. I’m off.

ETA- tell me you are a privileged POS without telling me you are a privileged POS.

"People who are in poverty are extraordinarily organised, and budget to within an inch of their lives" says Jack. So they're not Jack's target market for tit recipes are they, as they already know what they're doing!
Why does she never do a set of recipes from the kind of parcel her local foodbank would be giving out? Have we ever seen ANYTHING higlighting her local foodbank such as tweets, videos, what they need that month etc?

As for the whole merail stuff, I don't think I've ever seen anyone constantly turn the narrative back on themselves so much. It's just so distracting. I went through some awful stuff 10 years ago, but no way do I keep bringing it up this many years down the line. It is possible to have a conversation about a subject without pushing your own story to the front each and every time.

In another 10 years time Jack will still be having the same conversations, tweeting the same old crap, and pushing the same old recipes because she hasn't learnt anything in the last 10 years.

Also sick of her ‘people on poverty are excellent at budgeting’ claims. Some aren’t. It’s not a case of poor = good, organised, and not poor = bad, frivolous.

It’s almost like you can’t make sweeping generalisations about an entire group of people.

Does Jack even know anyone who is poor these days? On a close, personal level?

Can someone explain why you need to slow cook pieces of roast chicken for ten hours?

I'm confused.

 

[Clovis]

"chick pea goop"!!

 

[blurstoftimes]

No, you are mistaken. She would spend those 100 hours tweeting she was AT the food bank. No actual work would be done.

Who knows what she is making. Slop incoming in 10 hours. Set alarms for 6pm.

Jack's recipe descriptions should be compiled and published as a Roald Dahl-style book of disgusting stories for children

To make it drinkable for people with bad teef.

Tasty tasty pureed chicken.

I’m now under the impression that journalism is dead and all news programs scrape Twitter and call it research. So she comes up as trending to get work. Lazy BBC. No wonder food writers and actual charity campaigners avoid her like the plague. They must be seething she has all this exposure and does nothing but enrich herself with it.
ten years of campaigning and you have achieved duck all Jack. Maybe try another job … not cooking. The thing she reminds me of most is evangelical preacher con artists -except they are successful and rich by fleecing thegullible. So watch out for Jesus Jack.

ETA I guess she is successful at fleecing the gullible and vulnerable but she doesn’t have a private plane and she aspires ridiculous levels of wealth funded by others.

Poor smol pixie couldn't possibly know something technical like that ...

Plus a couple of other posts about scheduling recipe posts and the #thunderclapforcarers stuff

But she can’t lie.

 

[Veronicaaa]

Did she roast the chicken herself? Or buy it from the rotisserie counter? What was it used for before she started thumbing the carcass. Enquiring minds want to know.
I found it, uh, ironic that yesterday she was wanging on about what a supporting, loving community she has on twitter, and asking people to get involved with it, before directing an hours-long pile-on towards anti-Labour squig. Yes, it's SUCH a beautiful community that would call someone a baby-killer etc for saying they wouldn't #voteforJack.

10 hours - IT WILL BE MUSH!

If the chicken is already cooked then none of that needs to be slow cooked? The cheese will surely go rank over 10 hours especially mixed with lemon?!

And people living in poverty, as Jack has started to call them, are not some homogeneous group who are great at budgeting.

Some are great, others are ok, others are dreadful. some poor people you will cross the street to avoid.

I hate this prettification of poverty.

10 hours - IT WILL BE MUSH!

Baby food - which is mush - doesn’t take 10 hours, you just steam things a bit longer than normal and blend. why does she think slop is all the poors should have?

 

[Whaa?]

What was the point of showing her food planner. Here it is, whoops, no you can't see it. I just did it in case people found it helpful and to show how hard it was.

 

[FrumpyCat]

And if the Poors were so bleeping great at budgeting why would they need cooking lessons?

Mmmm. Yummy...

10 hours in the bloody slow cooker? Is she for real? Think I'll stick with my schnitty, pasta and veg, thanks!

 

[Nottonightbabe]

More slop made from withered soggy vegetables. And goop. How delightful .

 

[Veronicaaa]

Imagine everyone's surprise when she rolls up her sleeves, takes her glasses off, and reveals herself as ... SUPERSAVER.

She really thinks her tattoos are some unique identifier, doesn't she?? You can't even see what most of them are, they lack so much definition.
Noone is paying attention to your tit tatts Jack.
