Jack Monroe #318 I lie - for a living!

[Pocahontas]

Congrats to @Smeghead for the words (part of a Take a Breakathon about Jack’s exciting life) and @Brian Butterfield for nominating. You both win a generous dollop of Jack’s Peasants Pudding trifle, fit for the queen she has mixed feelings for. (vegan version for BB, no excuses!)

That’s right, she’s going to attempt to budget reverse engineer the jubilee trifle. Insert Tom Hardy <that’s bait> on Trifle Defender’s timeline.

She attended the awards ceremony (slipped my mind what for) and looked over the moon to be rubbing shoulders with all the slebs. In her snazzy loafers and tuxedo jumpsuit.

She posted photos of her newly arranged kitchen, complete with office area, thanks to OH being a dab hand with brackets and a power tool. Lots of food containers, pots, spoons, files, books, toy telephones here, there, everywhere. Gonna be a witch to clean (what am I saying).

Hello Jubilee fraus!

Small trifle related recap:

Jack has decided to make 'her own' version of the Jubilee Trifle, as she claims the original will cost approx £35 to make. She said she will call it Peasants pudding [sic] with no hint of irony and claims her version will cost £6-7 to make.

Delicious morsels of Jack thinking she is dishing up schadenfreude, such as this, when actually, it comes across as incredibly smug.

This is so mean, even for 'please leave me alone' Jack, to deliberately try and undermine an amateur baker who won a competition out of over 5000 entries, with a personal story of how it came about...

And wagon wheels used to be bigger…

Eat it in 2 halves? As opposed to 3 halves? Wow Jack, you are so riveting this evening.

Eww, I like white chocolate less than I like Jack. I'm still laughing at Poca's 'anice to see them' Mario comment. Fair got the giggles now, thanks Poca!

 

[kachoochoo]

anyway, wasn't the original trifle a civilian creation who won some sort of game show? why's she taking the piss out of it?

will this trifle be sprayed gold? should big d be worrying about his sides?

"Yep! I keep the pieces of my soul in them x "

I’m sure I’ve bought amaretti biscuits from Aldi before, but I must be mistaken! For they only sell peasant biscuits! The exotic taste of almond would simply blow the head off a guttersnipe like me.

Custard creams in a trifle is weird as well as sacrilegious! Tesco have a lemon Swiss roll for £1.25. Although it’s not Smart Price.

Thank you for the recap @Satisfying Click and for the screenies @Into_the_tunnel and for @Pocahontas making a new midnight thread look so easy. all of you.


Who on earth could bring spite to such a sweet story??

 

[BubbleDuck]

I think I skipped a few posts but if Jack was on TikTok/Instagram/YouTube or Facebook at all this week , she may have noticed that Morrisons have a budget recipe for the jubilee trifle using custard creams

I can’t work out how to link from tiktok to the video but it’s on the poppycooks account

 

[Cack Conroe]

She is so jealous of the young woman who won the competition.

 

[Shimmering]

LJC someone who knows more needs to do an armchair psychoanalysis of the reasons for her deep seated hatred of other people's trifles.

What trauma do trifles symbolise in the JM psyche?

Is it just me that’s amazed that this woman, who’s on the seat of her arse all the time, who’s rent bounces, with £19 in her bank account, has always tried EVERYTHING? Every food known to man. Even me, a none poor, who has a small addiction to chocolate, hasn’t tried nor even seen white chocolate snickers (remember when they were marathons eh Jack?) or any of those chocolates she and SB have manifested into the world with their daily chocolate discussions. How can she afford it? She’s poor ffs! Also you can shove ya white snickers and the other white chocolate tit up your arse Jack because white chocolate tastes like vomit

 

[Sideboard Bob]

She‘s still mithering on. I’ve learned enough from the people here who genuinely have arthritis to know this is so insulting.

 

[Dogmuck]

Why smile stifle
Other peoples trifle

Jack handwrote her FINAL EDITS by scrawling them in a nice binder bound with a ribbon and decorated with pictures of herself.
The publishing actual professionals in the canal explained why this is bad behaviour and will be making some poor sod at the publishing house really unhappy! Jack doesn't mind though, she handed it in with ONE MINUTE to spare and needs a nap

 

[Sideboard Bob]

Maybe being over-sensitive, but here’s some thoughtlessness from Jack towards those who’ve experienced eating disorders, and then depression too.

 

[colouredlines]

I mentioned before that Jack actually influenced me to buy those magnetic spice jars. They came in a set of 12 (other brands are available, but prices are roughly the same):

Jack has at least 126 of them - could be more as we can't see the edges of the picture.

So. Over 250£ to display spices that, by her own admission, she doesn't even use.
