Yes, absolutely. x If you live by the sea there's always a chance a stray monkfish will wander in. Cost £0
Has she gone? 
This rang a bell, and lo and behold Allegra and a guy called Paul Merrett had a programme on the BBC thirteen years ago called 'Economy Gastronomy'. One tip of theirs, that I used for a while, was cooking up a basic batch of braised mince and then you could turn it into chilli/bolognaise/whatever with very little effort (and I'm sure the square of dark chocolate was included in their chilli recipe too). JM hasn't had an original thought in her entire bleeping life.
Yes, genuinely. The carrot & kidney bean or whatever they were ones.
I’m a tiny bit grateful that she seems to have understood that “unctuous” is not a synonym of “glossy”. At last.
Small mercies.
This woman is pointing out you can't just go into a shop and buy one portion of an ingredient which is part of what makes cooking for one hard.
Awkward...

That makes more sense, Jack was talking as if she's adding something new to the pan each day.
Today I'll add some birds custards and transform it into a trifle!
Just rolled my eyes so hard, I got a headache.
It’s also in That Man’s new book, he has a section on things you can cook a mass of, freeze & then 5/6 ways you can use it differently (so chilli, tacos etc) it’s really good.
Well that was pointless. Such a maverick checking her cupboards before going to the shop.
She was on DANGEROUSLY close to lunch time. The radio station should realise they have a duty of care to their listeners who might be eating 
What was that, like 10 minutes? 
While I am of the opinion that the Umericans are the last people to be laying into British food, I see the point - if JM is being called a bad cook by a nation with a reputation for crap cuisine, that about as low as you can get.
It is a good concept to use the day before leftovers add something and make a new albeit similar dish.
However even Paul Daniels couldn't make a goulash turn into a bloody chilli using just chocolate.

Is it me or does she pronounce some of her vowels in a rather posh manner. The drawl comes through every now and again.
Janet's just said that you can't go into the baker's and buy just one roll, 'they'd look at you like you were mad'.
Um, no they wouldn't, Janet, they'd pop one in a paper bag for you and charge you 20p or whatever, that's literally how bakers work.

She sounds *so* posh. Rough estuary accent I don't think.
What gets me is, when is the last time JM actually came up with anything like a new idea? This is the same stuff she’s been going on about for years, and it’s literally basic common sense to anyone with half a brain! She adds nothing at all.
Also I was BUSY AND EXHAUSTED yesterday so missed the last thread, but can I just say that ‘Foodbank Anna Delvey’ is my fave thread title ever

I hope this wasn't really scheduled for 9am or something, because then she not only made the BBC team wait, she also made the other two lady guests wait for two and a half hours.What was that, like 10 minutes?
