Jack Monroe #389 She's like Boris but with worse hair

[Lumpyspaceprincess]

Once again, I don’t understand how this is at all helpful for anyone else. Want to see my meal plan? It’s a mixture of stuff I buy, things from my freezer and from my cupboard. Helpful to anyone?
except when I shop it will cost about £60-70 and feed all 3 of us, 3 times a day and a cat. Includes things like real milk and teabags (they’re never on the list are they?) and yogurts for everyone.
And I will probably buy some more bread and milk in the week.

Christ alive, what's pickled her pumble this time?

*Wondering if the most recent Patreon payout was a bit of a pisser.

 

[Thank(space)you]

Do you think the cheese was bought blue or she just left it in there too long. Thrifty!



Genuinely think you could make a novelty meal generator to throw together combinations of random words and they'd be about as appetising. In fact I'm convinced that's how she's doing it.

Don't we have a slop bot for that?


Also, I don't know what a ragu is admittedly, but I don't like the idea of a chicken liver one

She's liked this, which suggests she's doubling down on her allegation that that parking ticket account has been harassing her for years

in context -

She's also liked this for which she has SOME NERVE considering she never tagged that twisted doodle account when she posted their work and ALSO the time where she literally cropped the watermark off a professional photographer's photo of the 'Big House' to make it look like she had taken the photo. #neverforget

Did anyone calorie/cost check that week of 42 meticulously costed meals and snacks for 3 she did a few months ago?? I know some of the Frau have cal counted one of recipes before but I’ve not seen anything about her week plan

Jack Monroe #377 What’s the point?

ETA Well considering the smeg doesn’t live in the kitchen and all these dried goods look as though the are outside of the kitchen you didn’t 'lose' your eggs, you didn’t buy any, and now you've been pulled up on it, you’re back peddling

tattle.life

Here you go, go well pal x

 

[Thank(space)you]

More horrors. I'm assuming she's trolling now.

Because it would be really dumb to brag about your massive stockpile of food and then turn around and claim you spend £20 a week.

Okay, black forest brownies and lemon & raspberry ice cream do sound nice

*please don't kick me out of the canal*

 

[SarcasticEllis]

Jack because I know you read here, why don’t you ask your publishers to add this as the strap line for your next recipe book. Gives a real sense of the personality behind the food.

This delightful squig is slowly and F O R E N S I C A L L Y demolishing Jack’s “years of harassment” Tweet at Parking Co. Marvellous.

 

[Emmapism]

On my train home and pondering Jack's whole 'I don't chuck out food and buy fresh the next week, do you?!' responses when asked about the £20 shop.

Has it ever ever ever occurred to her that some people (and I count myself amongst them) buy exactly the amount of food they will need for the week and- barring oil, butter and some dried herbs- use it all up? I do it because I can't abide waste.

Plenty do it because they literally can't afford to have a bleeping Aladdin's cave of food to 'top up' their shop. Their shop is exactly what they have bought for the week. No leftovers.

Can I ask a question Jack
WHY DON’T YOU EAT NORMAL FOOD LIKE THE REST OF US ?

 

[discokebab]

I’m haven’t eaten meat since I was 4 years old so maybe my tastebuds aren’t calibrated but the idea of the sage and onion, prune and chicken meatloaf is very disturbing in the following categories
Flavour
Texture
Smell
Shape

Jack you are woefully unequipped to create diabetic menus for anyone. You don't know the difference between 1 and 2, you don't know anything about the disease's many manifestations, and you will end up harming someone. When you are asked for something like this, be more Nigella and respond with "Sorry, this isn't my skillset." People only ask you for 'diabetic recipes' (clue: there's no such thing, really!) because you have given them the impression that you can do this in the past. You cannot. You don't even realise that low-carb meals are more of a type 2 thing and that people with type 1 will usually only need to balance their carb intake with the requisite amount of insulin.

 

[Veronicaaa]

Have you tried this, Jack? It's a new function I think you might be interested in

I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt lmao

 

[traumatised sideboard]

So that's why Slopbot was so knackered this morning! He didn't even want to be disturbed for his broccoli pasta. Poor lad, she's been hitting refresh on him all night. He would like to express that jolly eggs were not his idea but we will be stealing them for the next update, Thankyou.

She doesn’t seem to be able to grasp the fact that people are watching now and when she throws around accusations, they go looking for proof.

On some things I think she does have a point, the ones you said plus stuff like normal size packets pasta and rice or multipacks of tins which often work out cheaper per tin while still being fairly accessible. (Unlike eg buying 10kg of rice in one go which will be out of the reach of many people)

It’s her lack of transparency about it combined with the random exotic store cupboard ingredients most people wouldn’t have and the seeming tons of frozen meat/fish that annoys me, especially as like with her costing generally she’s called out others for doing it wrong then does the same bloody thing.

Extra rude and snarky today. I'm wondering why

It’s Tuesday IYKYK

A couple of people did the most recent one. Here and here.

The fact she doesn't realise bananas are one of the worst fruits if you are low carb says it all. And I still want to know where you can buy dark chocolate that is sugar free and a 12 year old would eat and not hate you for life
