Just check out what others have been saying about it..

“A seminal piece of work” - Jack Monroe, TV presenter.

“Who knew it was possible to create such culinary delights on such a shoestring, or should I say ‘bootstrap’..LOL!” Jack Monroe, Fire Service.

“Incredible food. And it’s amazing how she finds the time, I’ve heard she’s really BUSY” - Jack Monroe, stripper.

“Jamie Oliver eat your heart out” - Jack Monroe, political commentator.

“Food for all the family” - Jack Monroe, mother.

etc etc...
And “Jack Monroe opět triumfuje” -Jack Monroe, translator.

I bleeping hate the way she uses the word “scampering “. Makes me cringe.
Same. Always reminds me of some little hunchback gremlin. Rattling a tip jar.

@Saint_clemmie what sausages do you recommend? I miss decent sausages and meatballs
Still grunkaing but apparently the vegan Richmond ones are the best. The Waitrose cocktail sausages (fancy) are also good-bosh has just done a great sausages on puff pastry vid on their insta. The curry gravy was a bit weird tho, I did onion gravy & a herb wash. Lovely.

She has always had a 'type' then. 💷 👵 💷

Eau de nil was much favoured by the late Queen Mother. Before she died, obvs.

As were 50/50 Gin and Dubonnets for breakfast. I was slightly obsessed with her as a child, it's a long story

--------------------------------

P.S. Russell Brand is trending. I will be most upset if I don't wake up to a scathing essay, full of white hot class fury .... and Bear's accurate Pantone colour.

So Russell has supposedly (I remain sceptical) interacted with two “working class men” today who used “surprisingly” poetic language. So you were “surprised” they knew such sophisticated words eh Russell?? That’s nice. Very patronising. And that they were working class - relevant why??
What an utter bellend. 🙄
I suppose his acquaintance with Jack makes a bit more sense now. Birds of a feather.

Just had a look at the Fortnum's website to check their colour, and tried to match it against Farrow & Ball (FANCY!). To my aged eyes the nearest F&B colour is "Arsenic".

I'm not saying anything more tonight.

Something has been bothering me for a while.

When she talks about paying herself a living wage, she always says “a living wage” rather than “the living wage”. I suspect (your honour) this is because her living wage is vastly different to the Gov living wage.

Could be nothing, but again today on a tweet she said “I pay myself living wage” which seems to skirt around the issue of what wage she is paying herself. Idk maybe I’m just looking too much into it?
Well spotted. That’s highly probable-she claims her autism means she’s incredibly specific & isn’t seeking to mislead (yeah, right). But the omission changes the whole meaning-a living wage in her view could be literally anything.

lol what? Of all the things to slag JK about, she's going for ... not knowing about the colour coding of Fortnums? Of which our WC hero jack is an expert in, of course. For reasons.
Isn't JKR more likely to shop at Jenners or Valvona & Crolla, given that she lives in Edinburgh? (Though the previous Duke of Hamilton did actively avoid Jenners on the grounds of animal cruelty, ie selling foie gras) See, Jack, there are other places than Sainsbury's Local in central Edinburgh!

Why are people asking what the colour looks like when they have Google at their bleeping fingertips?
These are the same morons who can’t work out what to do with leftover slop with stuffing floating in it.
Put it in the bleeping bin. Even Siri could tell them.

I keep forgetting about jack, then can’t sleep and roam the site in the early hours and stumble across her threads again then spend several hours being equally amused and horrified 🤦🏻‍♀️
Anyway, I just went to check her out on Twitter and she’s now private? When did this happen? Why would a “famous ‘sleb” go private?

FFS. Here we go again with the DRAAAAMA!

So tomorrow will be another day of multiple reports on the catastrophic (🙄) dental situation, which is apparently related to her alcoholism (but I don’t understand that bit at all), and yet again no writing of the book.

p.s. that reminds me - whatever happened to her promised “ouchy mouth” recipes - back in the days when she had a mouth ulcer or similar and was attempting to co-opt cancer sufferers’ issues in some way. (Not one of her finest moments - and that is saying something, given her track record). Yet another of her many abandoned projects.

Followers have dropped again. 😬

Please, please don't give her ideas ☹. I couldn't bear it if she sullied 'Empty Chairs and Empty Tables' ☹.
You've just given her the name of her future restaurant!

Empty Chairs and Empty Tables.

I can see it now, a huge sign elaborately painted in eau de nil. All the tables and chairs are from The Cotswold Company. The walls are floor to ceiling bookcases, filled with books by David Walliams. The waiting area even has and extreme hammock to chill out on, as well as a water rower, in case you want a quick workout before your meal.
Of course, it's empty though. Mainly because people who go out for dinner actually like food. How it looks, how it tastes, and where it comes from. The eyelids and arseholes section of the menu was never going to work.

I’m reading the JM tweets (I have a rule etc..) and everyone’s been focused on the rank hypocrisy bit, nobody seems to have noticed that one of the biggest twats in the world doesn’t know what autism is.



This comment was brought to you by objectivity, and an obsession with telling the truth. It’s being an hole, not autism, and calling it autism whenever you fancy doing something unpleasant doesn’t make it true.



A bit like saying middle class is working class a zillion times doesn’t make it true either.



Good morning.



And before the usual threats of legal action are made, I’m not starting a fight, a pile on, or bullying a woman who is much more aggressive than me, she chooses to read tattle anyway. I haven’t engaged with her, this is a sarcastic take on her own lack of self awareness, her double standards and hypocrisy. Thank you, good morning.

Deja vu. Also some nice groundwork for an ‘off her tits’ defence should Peeky come to light.

Still sleepy so don’t feel bad about the screenshots. 🤪

Am actually listening to that improving lives podcast ( I know, I know..) but it's fascinating! She nearly, nearly tripped herself up in trying to explain the shock of using food banks she had to stop herself mid-sentence,''My parents friends couldn't really understand how I could have ended up in the situation where I was in poverty, because I came from..i...uh..uh... My parents were still married to each other.'' She was just about to say she was affluent, but stopped herself at the last second when she remembered the narrative! What a tool.

I'd like to hear the background story about how @MarmiteExtract came up with this masterpiece? Did you have to search around for the perfect pic or did the idea immediately come to you? Did you edit out her feet or where they already hidden because *ballerina tippy toes*?
Haha! I googled Victorian ghost to get the background flavour, and then I knew I wanted the ballerina Jack shot because she already had that floaty thing going on (and, likeheretoreadit said, the ideal fashion for the times). She lost her arms because they’re hidden behind the lectern in the shot, and she lost her feet because I forgot to lasso them in my original cut 😅

She is *such* a liar. Never ceases to amaze.
