Jack Monroe #76 £300 mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the poorest of us all?

[SoulRebel]

I'm still way behind catching up but saw this comment on Jack's FB page. I'd always imagined her followers to be young but this person must be in her sixties/early seventies and still doesn't know how to cook sausage and mash. Poor old nanny.

I have a sneaking suspicion all has not gone well with the tuna, courgette and dead squirrel bake.

The fox ate it.

The fox ate it.

The postman sniffed it.

 

[Eurgh]

Frozen instant mash? Just boil the kettle when you’re hungry babes.

The postman sniffed it.

It left.

Babe same! She thought it was common too! When one of my mates introduced me to corned beef and piccalilli on a massive white oven bottom muffin I thought I had landed in heaven But probs haven’t ever bought a tin of corned beef in my adult life.
My mother cooked like Jack...Fuxking horrifically. She, like many others mums here, was also a narc...still is in her 90s!

Yes - she prob thought it was common too. We were lucky as she was a fab cook and a darling old stick - bless her. Could make a meal to feed a crowd out of nothing. Still miss her.

On her FB she's describing the puke inducing tuna/courgette thingy.

She has actually written 'I fingered half a leek'

The mind boggles....

Is Natalia still at work opening and reading that massive stack of letters? I think we should be told.

This is @Pocahontas atm

My father's speciality dish of corned beef hash (saved for those luxury camping holidays) play a major part in why I am now vegetarian.

Coming home from school & finding out it was corned beef hash or mince & tatties for tea was the worst.

I’ve got a nice big pot of bolognese that’s being simmering on the hob since 3pm and I want to hug it tightly now

She really MUST do a collab with Kay’s Cooking on YouTube

I never had that, but corned beef fritters at primary school was a thing. A pink, deep fried vile thing.

Freezing mash causes it's to retain water making it more gloppy.

I SEE YOU

Gonna make the new thread now so that we have a clean slate on which to discuss her new dish.

Oh I loved them!

Weirdo, I bet you liked the custard with a pink dollop of something on top too?
