Madness isn't it? Why doesn't anyone, at the very least, sense check this stuff before it is published?If you had been, as she so charmingly puts it, “dogshit poor” and then were miraculously gifted a recipe column in the Guardian (we should assume this is a pretty well paid gig, right?), can you even fathom the levels of laziness, arrogance, and entitlement to put this untested shite out as a recipe?
No instruction on how to handle the black pudding; unhinged proportions of ingredients; a convoluted method (who wants to wait an hour while their hangover breakfast chills in the fridge?!) that is clearly untested (the carrot will “bear down” on the potato?! Lol, k, Jack).
Whenever stuff like this is unearthed I just wonder why she wasn’t outed as a complete fraud sooner. It isn’t cute or quirky to write about how you’ve been on the piss instead of doing your job and then weave that into the piece of tit recipe you wrote 12 minutes before deadline, still twatted. Ungrateful turd.

Absolutely this!Still about half a thread behind after Jack's antics this weekend, but I can't help but think she's seriously misunderstood the vibe because her life has been so sheltered.
Moaning on and on about her living situation. In 2021, about 25% of 20-34 year olds still lived with their parents, largely because of financial reasons. I don't know what percentage of that same group live in house/flat shares but I'd guess it's pretty high, especially in London and the southeast. Most people I know have way more qualifications than Jack, and genuinely work insane hours, but have nothing but a small rented bedroom to show for it (which they are normally not allowed to decorate). A growing number of young renters don't even have access to a living room as landlords are turning these into bedrooms for the extra £££.
Conversely, apart from a very short period where she was (allegedly?) in a houseshare, Jack has always lived independently. Even with a kid, that's a luxury in itself, before we even get started on the tens of thousands she's spunked on expensive furniture and tat.
Any working class young adult will look at Jack and instantly see she's a charlatan.
I definitely remember her arguing with her detractors BTL!Certain she created a profile to sanctimoniously argue with all the negative comments.
You're assuming that it actually is her mother when its possible it's yet another stinky sockI've been doing some forensicks and it appears JM's poor mother has set up a new haunted bird account (Nov 2022) to keep an eye on proceedings. No Tweets, just a 'like' of a comment to JM about wallpaper choices which may or may not have been accidental.
I know there's a few who take issue with the family, but I can't help but feel a bit sorry for them. They have to tolerate the lies about JM being working class and starving, but they can't say anything to the contrary because then JM would accuse them of destroying their brand !
I did see in a ranty blog post that JM is estranged from their brother because one Christmas he dared to have an opposing political opinion, but can anyone enlighten me further?
There is always a mackie hackie (supposed household 'tip') rather than food to testI think there should definitely be a Grifty Kitchen Slopalong!! I quietly and gently declined to take part in the previous slopalong because reasons... but I think at this point there's no one better than the dear Fraus to show how utterly DIRE (or not?!) each and every one of those recipes is.
I've only been here since Molly's first posts but I don't think I've ever met such a kind, compassionate, understanding and wise bunch of people. You make everyone feel so welcome and offer support and knowledge on so many different things. You make me laugh every day!
Basically you guys are awesome and I'm really glad I found you, so count me in for the slopalong this time... I'm prepared to risk a dodgy few hours with my diabetes control to take part. I feel it's sort of my duty - I'm ready to earn my Frau badge and wear it with pride!
True dat. However, it is being followed by mother's own locked account.You're assuming that it actually is her mother when its possible it's yet another stinky sock
Not just cleaning, but deep cleaning 12 times a dayCleaning the kitchen? As if.
And it's not just young people. I have a couple of colleagues in their 60s who are unable to retire because they rent and can't continue to do so on their pension.Absolutely this!
Surely it’s betty Crocker IS food, mackies is a health/biohazardI like to think of this as “Betty Crocker” Jack

Q: What’s the difference between Betty Crocker and Jack Monroe?
A: Betty Crocker’s food comes in a cardboard box, but Jack Monroe’s food tastes like a cardboard box.
