,
I've googled pineapple riata, and it is a thing. But the pictures look different to Jack's pictures.
,I'm guessing the raita is to eat with the dahl/stir fry veg concoction? Why can't she just make a normal raita? And have the pineapple as pudding or a snack?! It boggles my mind.
She absolutely did. Ridiculous way to cost things out when not everyone will have the whole £10 or £20 in the same day to budget like this. She made the argument at the time that someone "like she was" could be standing with £1.59 to feed themselves and a child for dinner that night. She's a hypocrite and a bs'er.Totally agree. And I think she may have had a go at people doing just this when the Marcus Rashford COVID free dinners controversy happened? Although not 100% on this and hard to recall when she deletes everything
...is the least surprising sentence I have ever read.But the pictures look different to Jack's pictures.
Exactly?! Also - 'if it really gives you the willies'... I just don't want to suddenly be having these mental images when I'm reading a recipe, ya know?The way she writes recipes is abysmal.
‘Scum.’ Scum - why would you write this in a recipe that you want to entice people with? Also - ‘wait a beat, or more accurately, two minutes.’ Just say two minutes, you fool!
‘Some people are a bit aghast at me using stock cubes in curries’ - what a fucking shoddy sentence. I hate your writing, Jack - you have no business in this ... business.
Dear heart, you are a talking-sense person and not a maverick little scamp.If I budgeted for 20 quid in a shop, I’d get:
Basic potatoes
Lots of carrots as they are quite bulky
Some frozen sweet corn and peas
Broccoli and /or cauliflower
Chicken
Sausages (own brand finest/taste the difference etc, because higher pork content)
Some frozen fruit (I prefer frozen berries and pineapple rather than oranges etc)
Bread
Pasta
Chopped tomatoes
Flour
Jam
Butter
Beans
Plus some snacks.
I normally have a good stock of herbs, spices and condiments, baking supplies etc. I think the key is to keep ingredients simple - especially where potatoes and veg are concerned you can have multiple meals with those. Jack seems to mix a lot of random ingredients in a pot and stirs, but cost wise that adds up. Sometimes “meat and two veg plus potatoes and gravy” is a filling nutritious meal and actually quite cheap. So many puddings can be so cheap too - I make apple crumble once a week. Basic sponge cakes also fairly cheap if you ready have flours and sugars in stock. Heck, I’m still working though the 16kg bag of flour I panic bought at the start of lockdown (I know, I know. I won’t do that again this time!). I’ve made cheap pizzas, bread rolls, cinnamon whirls etc for a fraction of the price of buying from the bakery section. The baking is more of a necessity for me though as allergic to nuts I can rarely find baked items that are suitable. People on a very tight budget in poverty would surely much rather have potato, chicken and veg, plus a slice of homemade sponge cake than some strange bastardisation of a cultural dish that used 20 ingredients in one hit?!
I’ve found the tweets where Jack was talking about living on £3 per day. It was part of the Annunziata (and Barbara) pile-on (which later gifted us the unforgettable “Potatoes”That’s right - she did. I remember that too.
'Excuse the shit out of me'? No. Fuck off you utter twat.I’ve found the tweets where Jack was talking about living on £3 per day. It was part of the Annunziata (and Barbara) pile-on (which later gifted us the unforgettable “Potatoes”).
Aww, Barbara is so sweet-jings! Just answering a question and old big mouth jack has to spit at her. Vile.I’ve found the tweets where Jack was talking about living on £3 per day. It was part of the Annunziata (and Barbara) pile-on (which later gifted us the unforgettable “Potatoes”).
Poor old Barb she fell into the "upside down" fighting our resident Demogorgon. She's still a hero in my eyes. Be more Barb.I’ve found the tweets where Jack was talking about living on £3 per day.

Squiggle has a valid point that we’ve all mentioned on here; using reduced items which you are not guaranteed to get in every store is not helpful for those truly struggling. Just hope they can weather the maverick storm heading their way.Someone else has dared to call her out. Don’t worry though, the other jackolytes are as full of shit as usual.
Blows my mind how they can come up with such utter crap-the last thing she uses is plain bloody English.
I wonder how many other people see these responses & wonder if they’re mad or everyone else is. I did before I found tattle.
I'm in tearsI love how genuine people were trying to offer solutions and she kept throwing hypothetical scenarios back at them why it wouldn’t work.
“Nope! You only have £3 that you found behind the sofa”
“But what about...”
“NO! You only have one eye and three fingers and you live on an island with no shop”
I think this was my favourite Barbara quote:Poor old Barb she fell into the "upside down" fighting our resident Demogorgon. She's still a hero in my eyes. Be more Barb.
How dare she write this. It's actually disgraceful. It's not an imaginary scenario for JM to rage tweet about, people are living in those conditions now, and JM should not be using them to further her own self promoting agenda.I’ve found the tweets where Jack was talking about living on £3 per day.
