That is beyond disgusting.
Squiggle, for your next attempt at lasagne, I suggest you follow a proper recipe. It will save you wasting any more food.

That actually looks vicious.. "And with my next dish, I shall be performing a Tracheostomy.."
This is the recipe in plain English. Still sounds wrong.
All I can say is, thank goodness the Melbourne lockdown is being relaxed as of today!
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO COOK A BECHAMEL!
That’s a plate of sadness right there....
I love how if you google 'Jack Monroe béchamel' the third result is 'Jack Monroe #7 - The Judge can send us down to hell, but we won't eat that béchamel'
Poor Squiggle's lasagne looks like a pile of autumn leaves...
My eyes! My eyes! What the actual duck is that?!
If I’ve learned anything over the last week, it’s that I am definitely NOT the worst cook in the world
I’m thinking of getting my husband a book deal on the basis of her cooking. (He’s banned from the kitchen).
GL-ing while flicking through the guardian/observer which had a 29 greatest autumnal meals — loads of lovely stuff in there, foraged, vegan, meaty, seasonal and cheap amongst the more expensive flights if fancy, but I’m sure all delicioso.
A feature on Seasonal and Reasonable would probably be helpful Jack. If you want to play “Ready Steady Cook” with some maverick yellow stickered ingredient in addition to this as a properly planned family budget shop, e.g. “oh here’s a piece of random fish I also picked up massively reduced from the fish counter. What you could do with this, or any other piece of white fish, fresh or frozen you might come across or have stashed in your freezer is ....” and refer to a sensible budget recipe you might have in your arsenal —that would be much better than a piss poor I’ll thought out random shitbag of reduced nonsense that no one would use for inspiration.
But, of course you can’t do this, can you, because you know duck all about food — “anyone can open a can”, isn’t that what you said about not doing another lockdown larder? You’re a thwarted political writer shoehorned into the frugal food space. And unfortunately that’s where your deluded fans and Patreon tip jar fillers live, so here you are again, playing at surviving on a £20 food budget and renting a cold drafty/sun trap of a crappy bungalow, aligning yourself with people actually in great need, who foolishly think you know what you’re doing on the basis of a nates article 8 years ago, and also people actually making a difference, like Marcus Rashford, busy getting things donewith his authentic background, and lovely way of engaging with people. Your bitterness and phoniness radiate from every tweet. Your terror of being found out is over everything you present, like a poorly used Insta filter.
just stop.
anyway, back in the guardian I clicked on the “perfect roast chicken link” and was presented with this, which I found apt

That looks like the contents of my kitchen compost caddy - and I am being kind.
I actually think a bit of horse jism would improve that Aussie squiggle’s lasagna hugely.
'Can I substitute Kangaroo or Kaola spunk?'
"Yes, absolutely."
She needs to move near Lidl and Aldi as their bags of stir fry vegetables are less than a pound.
I love a yellow sticker bargain but there are certain things I draw the line at. 1. bagged salad 2. bagged stir fry veg 3. most bread / bakery items (honourable exceptions are things like ciabatta and, yes, bagels, which can be immediately frozen). The first 2 go slimy and disgusting and are basically not fit for use when they've reached their due date, and I can't bear stale bread / donuts, for all the saving you're making it's better just to buy full price if you're able to.
ETA completely off-topic but this made me laugh a lot this morning -

Because when I think of the qualities of a typical lasagne, the first one that springs to mind is "sharp."
