Yes! I wonder if it’s because people were arguing underneath it that it had become a pile on (The 'essay' one has gone, I think.
Babe, same! “You either love it or hate it” no actually I don’t mind it but I’m not a massive fanI’m on the fence about coriander - I don’t detest it but I’m not crazy about it either. I will eat it on or in things without complaint though.
Ditto for Marmite
Absolutely she has had some facial work done. Looks as though she has had a few botox injections in her forehead. But hard to say for definite as she always photoshops her pics so much. OK so it's super common for IG influencers to photoshop but given that Jack's whole USP is all "take me as I am, I'm a rough diamond" bullshit, it comes across as pretty hypocritical. Mind you, she's no stranger to hypocrisy.Definitely convinced she’s had fillers (nothing wrong with it but don’t lie and say you’ve got some illness when it’s a cosmetic treatment), as the horizontal fold in between the nose and top lip is very common in women who have had their lips made bigger
Why does hers look like kinetic sand?Okay! I was just reading Guardian Australia online, and an article about peanut butter led me down the "hmmm, could I make peanut butter?" (quickly replaced by, no, I can't be bothered actually.)
I clicked next on Felicity Cloake's how to make the perfect peanut butter and found Ms Monroe's recipe.
So far, so ordinary. It is the Guardian circa 2015.
But then I saw the photos, and I really want you to see them, too
Hot on the heels of my peanut butter expose, I make my first ever thread title suggestion:
Peanut butter, peanut butter, Jack Monroe is an absolute...
ETA: this has it all; there's even rinsing!
She substituted it in when she couldn't get any peanuts.Why does her look like kinetic sand?
Shit that's what she did with SBs toys, she didn't sell them, she fucking cooked with themShe substituted it in when she couldn't get any peanuts.
It doesn't look at all spreadable.Why does hers look like kinetic sand?
And there's us all thinking that dishes like Fuckme Pasta were about getting laid, not what the ingredients were. Stay well clear of the Calamari rings.Shit that's what she did with SBs toys, she didn't sell them, she fucking cooked with them
Peanut butter isn't very expensive to buy, it's more expensive buying the bags of peanuts. She really is a knob.It doesn't look at all spreadable.
I did try making it once, but I don't think my machine was powerful enough, because it did not go well. I quite like the cheap and nasty stuff anyway, the fancy one always splits and is a pain in the neck to keep trying to mix the oil back in.
I’ve said before, I think she was shocked by her short stint in “poverty”, because as someone who grew up very middle class, she was simply not used to the conditions in which average people live.Totally agree having read her blog from 2012/3 this morning! She had a different tone of voice and covered a lot of wider social issues in it. Food was honestly a lot more of an aside in the blog posts and maybe counted for 30% of the content. It was more of an example of how to cope while living in poverty. I can see why people became her fan in the earlier days because she largely comes across as likeable in it (aside from the JO mention haha). Absolutely nothing like how she writes now. Having read it, I really don't doubt she struggled late 2011/2012 - although she mentioned having trial jobs and three weeks of shifts in March 2012 so not the eight months of no jobs/300 applications she later claimed (having left the Fire Service in late 2011 it seems).
But I do struggle to understand why she self-flagellated to the point where she didn't ask her parents for help.
It actually made me go back into the cycle of feeling pity for her. I think fame has fucked her up.

True, but what I'm getting at is that DW is very much not untouchable and was in fact trending before JM went off on her ranting on the bandwagon. There were two stories about him in Popbitch yesterday, things in the press about inappropriate behaviour, all sorts of things that have been rumbling for a while. JM didn't start anything, she just jumped on to a bandwagon but gave the media something to say about DW that wasn't rumour and so fucked her own career.I'm sure I've heard the same story, but attached to a different author, and more than once so I wouldn't take that at prima facie
Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic sand!! That bloody advert did my head in. That and those lelli kelly shoes.Why does hers look like kinetic sand?
Fuck sake they're both in my head now.Kinetic, kinetic, kinetic sand!! That bloody advert did my head in. That and those lelli kelly shoes.
Juniper is amazing, not just because of gin. And caraway is underrated by many, glad to see a fellow lover of it exists *fist bump *I love the stuff. Not so keen on Basil, though - that can taste a bit soapy to me - and smoked Paprika is bleurggggghhhh. Never saw a single blood relative touch any herbs other than mint sauce, so have no idea if anybody else feels the same way.
My top 5 herbs are Dill, Sage, Coriander, Mint and Rosemary.
My top 5 spices are Ginger, Chilli, Allspice, Nutmeg and Caraway.
My top 5 'others' are sea salt flakes, pepper, poppy seeds, sesame seeds and Juniper.
I mostly just find it funny. A lot of her inconsistencies make me angry but it's nice to have one like this.I can't get too worked up over this supposed coriander inconsistency. All she said was that SB picked it out "because he's his mother's son" - that could just mean a childhood aversion to greens? I would have picked anything green and not a pea off my plate at that age!
Not to defend Jack, because she is an awful person, but this doesn't really seem to be a great example of her awfulness, you know?
