The reply to Ariel of "Disappointed you’re choosing to continue this." was rather haughty for someone who had been caught out and was being schooled.

I read the hashtag as Masterchefrau and got rather excited.

In other news, I had drinks with a guy who went to Eton 🍉 the other night, and he didn't understand the quiche thing either, because "who eats quiche?".

Perhaps this quiche will bring an end to the class war at last?
I think actually posh people might call it a flan?
Am not actually posh, so cannot confirm at this time.
I am in awe of @UnPickled and your services to slop. I cannot believe that anyone tested Jack's recipe, let alone that it produced the quap in the photos. I showed Mr Beacon the pics last night and it properly gave him the boak - congratulations!

I think it was called a flan when I was a kid. Egg and bacon flan. Quiches with bits in came later

Jack is utterly incapable of this. She calls all engagement that doesn't kiss her scrawny ass trolling and the only weapon in her arsenal is banging the drum of her supposedly flawless and perfect intentions. And that's why her account and profile is stagnating like a 3 inch deep neglected pond.
She seems incapable of, or disinterested in, learning or growing, both personally and professionally. It's like she's perpetually stuck as a moody adolescent, resenting her parents for making her do her homework, only the "parents" are the people who expect her to do stuff in exchange for her patreon funding, and produce recipes in exchange for her title of Bestest Smol Tiny Budget Cook and Queen of Povs.

It’s on her website too from Jan 4 2018 but she doesn’t mention a thing about care leavers, or anyone else for that matter- other than the people in raptures on Instagram

It’s not the “ready meal” one she plunged her grubby grabbers into for the Guardian- that’s this one on her blog. Spoilering as the thought she’s inserted her grim mitt into the one on the left is giving me the heave really badly
View attachment 2139853Funnily enough the Guardian didn’t go with the fingers-inserted version

Though interestingly, she doesn’t mention fingerbanging it on her blog. I think she invented that for Guardian readers.

She hasn’t made lasagne until this recipe and she hadn’t made quiche until last week. Can someone please tell me how this idiot has a career as a food writer with multiple cookbooks please?
She has a career that many would give anything for and it is so utterly undeserved it’s ridiculous.

*edited as I managed to say “good writer” instead of “good writer”. She definitely isn’t a good writer either though so I understand it even less.

It's become a bit of a habit on Bank Hols when Mr F is snoring to treat myself to a reread of thread 31. If there's any newer frau who hasn't done it then I do urge you to treat yourself. I still audibly gasp when she turns up even though I know exactly when it's going to happen. Then you get the fantastic bit where people keep on posting as normal while they catch up. Anyway, with an awful lot of competition, I think this might be my favourite post ever on these threads.

Thinking of Jack, with all the spare time on her hands puts me in mind of the naughties TV show "Faking It" - Intrepid volunteers are plucked from their natural habitat and given four weeks to master a skill - which if I remember most of the contestants on it did a reasonable job of picking up their new skill; I can only conclude she has no interest in food or cookery whatsoever to have gained no skill in her over TEN YEARS of Faking It. But then what the hell is getting her out of bed on a daily basis? her "lights on" days?

And another thing: when she was first wanging on about quiches with her fake reported convo with SB "One of these nine quiches, probably" for some reason I imagined that she'd been trying out different fillings etc etc for nine variants. I never imagined that she would proudly boast about making NINE vol au vent sized quiches as if it were some epic undertaking that had trashed the entire kitchen (of which we only see six).

Spraying my keyboard with water like
as one half of a butch/femme couple 🍉 , I stopped reading Diva years ago as nothing about the magazine spoke to me or my corner of the L at all! I read an article in which it was presented that women who chose not to date trans-women were transphobic and I just couldn’t give Big L anymore of my money and cancelled my subscription! This picture of L confirms that I did the right thing, and now I know she peddles Jack’s con to her readers I resent every penny I’ve ever spent on Diva!

Lads, I missed THE END😡 origin story, can someone shed light? My guess is it came from a neckbeard/Nazi granny defending guest over on hellsite…?
Thankyou in advance to anyone who can help. 🥰

Having just done some forensic mithering over the BEAUTIFUL lasagne cruelly inflicted on care leavers, it appears that that was the one that guest created after digitally defiling a ready meal version as the Wayback Machine first captured the life hacks section of the Children’s Commissioner‘s website in March this year.
Have those kids not suffered enough?
Exactly, she couldn't even be arsed to create some specific recipes for this very specific audience. Just recycled some old tit recipes, not even changing up the blurb to make it relevant to care leavers.

When I first left care, I had exactly £5 a week for food (it was 2002 but still). What would be really helpful is for someone to do a weekly meal plan on a tight budget, showing how to make the most of a few cheap ingredients, not some questionably costed tit no teenager is going to ever cook for themselves. (Maybe I could have grown some chard for my pizza in the hostel grounds eh?)

It really pisses me off that she pretends she's helping kids in care when I guarantee those recipes have never once been cooked by a single care leaver.

The BBC lies by omission such as not reporting on massive protests cos it's an establishment mouthpiece. The Guardians purpose is to make middle class liberals who wouldn't sacrifice an inch of their comforts feel like they're making a difference by buying Fairtrade bananas and sticking pronouns in their bio.

Jacks protestations about she's never made a quiche or lasagne before is almost certainly a load of wham to portray herself as a naturally talented pixie who just bibbity bobbity boos it.

Yep, because she is an awful human being.
Tbh I haven’t actually kept up with the Linda chat so I’m not sure what she’s done, I’m just going purely off of the way I see her posing and looking in photos and she just looks like she wants a fight. Never smiles at the camera like everyone else, just deadpan stares at it.

Linda in my opinion doesnt look like a nice person. If i met her on a night out i would avoid because she gives off the vive of being domineering. I would also suggest controlling too. I have no evidence to base my obs on other than her body language. She gives off a terrible vibe. Everyone else there looks relaxed and happy. She looks tense and grumpy.

How the merry heck is a lasagne 'irreverent'?

Babe, samex

She puts me in mind of a school bully surrounded by their hangers on, who are only there because they are all equally terrified not to do her bidding.

I have no evidence for this 🤣

Elasticated waist too
I zoomed in to see what her t shirt says and I swear it’s something about gay miners. Couldn’t deduce more than that, because either the res isn’t good enough or my eyes aren’t good enough (I’m EXHAUSTED), but swear down it’s gay miner related. Glad to see people brandishing their impeccable working class credentials though, wonder if she’s the director for the upcoming Linda Riley doco
