Jack Monroe (bootstrapcook)

[ChilliBean]

Has any seen the thread she’s posted on Twitter tonight- about buying a Burberry coat from a snooty sales assistant. I swear that whole ‘incident‘ is lifted straight from the plot of Pretty Women.

She never seems to be lacking a dramatic story to tell from her life have a day off twitter please jack

 

[MHB28]

If you want to PM me your blog i’ll Send some traffic your way, not an awful lot because I’m not a big account or anything but happy to reveal who I am to you too and start following your blog. Xx

I am happy to do the same!

She has been given a column in metro.co.uk starting today, she should be pleased but no, first thing she does is have a dig at Jamie Oliver for using capers in his television show, then goes on to use them herself in her 'recipe' (mashed up sardines on toast). She really comes across as spiteful and unpleasant, why is any media outlet giving her airtime?

A whole column just for this "recipe", mindblowing as usual jack

• 2 cans of sardines, in brine or oil
• 2 tbsp capers
• 1 tbsp oil or butter
• 1 tsp lemon juice or vinegar
• Plenty of black pepper

Why would you even need to add vinegar if you're using capers? I'm sure she's using the cheap ones that are in vinegar not the ones in rock salt. I do Lidl sell them. Using the jar juice should be right up jack's street! Also why butter or oil for an oily fish in oil? Remember when she said the first thing with a recipe she cuts out anything unnecessary when she "adapts" recipes to pass of as her own. Not nearly smart enough to lie as much as she does.

She's had several commissions this week, if she had any integrity she'd run as a registered charity and have trustees. But she's a money hungry fraud.

Oh she needs to fuck right off.
Anyone freelance like her with a bit of sense will have a ‘safety net’, I’m sorry I don’t see that she’s living from cheque to cheque. Bore off

 

[MHB28]

Am I right in thinking she doesn’t do YouTube? I mean surely if you want to be on TV and get your own TV programme which is what she clearly wants, would you not start filming short recipes for YouTube?

 

[Yel]

If anyone freezes condensed milk and cornflakes please do credit Jack with inventing that recipe

 

[Slacalis]

I've noticed that too! .... she also puts on a fuggly filter that makes her hands look veiny, blue and a bit shit and then when someone says something it's "I have arthritis" and "I was born prematurely so I have weird excess skin" (I shit thee not!) instead of admitting to filters for either making her slop look better or to get attention when some noob pops up and asks about her mangled looking hands...

 

[DCICassieStuart]

They're the one two threads I post much on.. though very new to this one. I actually find their behaviour so fascinating. Very bizarre.

This attached tweet. *eyes roll to back of head* just unfollowed (was following from ages ago and never unfollowed). Need to stop noseying on her page its just too irritating.

I did post last week to see if anyone had ever seen SH and JM in the same room at the same time .....

“Shitty bungalow” looks ok to me

Three microwaves for her tinned diet.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Jack Monroe's Lockdown Larder: How to make sardine rillettes

Got any tinned fish? Here's what to make.

metro.co.uk

What a hateful bitter individual she is. 'How we guffawed at Jamie...'? No WE didn't. She did jealously, no doubt, and egged on her peculiar followers to do the same.
Laughable when he uses capers, but hey a bit crazy and quirky when guess what - she likes them too. Fuck off.

 

[Jelly Bean]

Who knew she had time for all this, given she’s already working 20 hour days

Also they quizzed you on *fifty* titles, really?

Ugh I can't understand this incredibly dispiriting fashion for arranging books by colour. Makes it all so joyless.
Please don't say she is going to start being a book guru now? #Jackslockdownlibrary.

 

[slugella]

I don't think she even wanted the t.v. show shes just pissed off she wasn't first choice. And also probably wants an excuse to create more drama. If she genuinely wanted a show surely she would have made more effort on YT? And how can she expect to have a show if she can't leave the house as she's at risk, and also works 20 hours a day.

I think she needs to get off Twitter. She is clearly so encouraged by all the people acting like she's keeping half of the country alive and fed and has gone a bit insane on her own hype..

 

[Wobblehead]

It's like Pulp's Common People was written for her... I don't know if she's even aware she's lying anymore. I don't know how anyone could live with her. Her behaviour and entire personality is harder to stomach than her vile peach curry

She is living in a parallel universe... she is almost Alan Patridgesque in her ridiculous made up statements

 

[Apple In My Pie]

Jack always has seemed like a bit of a dramatist to me - like she thrives off of it.

 

[clickthrulink]

So much to unpack here. Mainly... who gives a fuck what mumsnet says about your tits? She’s a bloodhound for drama.

No way was she ever a 38E, her poor boobs. Average is your clother size +20.
She'll have been a 34 back at most.
(Take a look at booborbust if you don't agree - a lot of women wear a way bigger back size and smaller cup size than they need)

 

[GrunkaLunka]

Surely her partner alone would be enough to get then a mortgage seeing as she's in the top 5% of earners?

You'd think so, but perhaps she has a poor credit rating. Or doesn't want to take the commitment (financial or otherwise) of tying herself to Jack. It wasn't that long ago Jack was engaged to someone else, and she is famously very.... flighty. Can't say I would blame the current partner for being cautious.

Companies House will move to strike off a company if there's no response to letters, it'll be assumed the directors have 'gone away'. It's a criminal offence to not file with Companies House and late accounts will incur hefty late filing penalty, so she could still be prosecuted. I used to work at Companies House.

 

[PineappleQueen19]

She's such a dick.

She managed to get her non Barclays bank card swallowed up in a Barclays ATM. Then she thinks as she's a Barclays customer she should be able to get it back right away. But it's against their internal policy as it's owned by another bank. Now goes on a rant. Talk about entitled.
View attachment 89362

Going on about she's got half an hour to pay someone delivering a skip and her ADHD means she's unable to keep more than one bank card in her wallet. Then saying she could confirm her identity by rolling up her sleeve and the bank clerk doing a google images search to see her tattoos. I'd think she's some troll trying to poke fun at millennials.

And she knew her card was faulty. You really can’t help some people.

Also: why don’t banks consider tattoos as identification?! Good grief.

I'm really curious to see how this BBC show will pan out since Jamie's show has gone from being in his filming kitchen with a crew to his home with his phone and just him and Jools, so how are they producing a show? Is it already recorded? Especially as she is immunocompromised and supposedly terrified to go outside? I'm not going to watch it def not adding to her viewing figures, but I'm very curious how it's going to work...

 

[SqualorVictoria]

Bizarre, it's like someone claiming copyright on the act of showering or something. What on earth does she think people did before? I was a student and then single mum in the 90s living on a pittance and I learned to cook cheap healthy meals from cookbooks, relatives, friends, the usual channels. No internet or Jack and her "niche"!

Exactly, it's what out parents and pretty much everyone else has been doing since the dawn of time. Does she think people were bankrupting themselves by dining on caviar and lobster before she came along? Sad and deluded
