Thanks @Pocahontas
Really interested to see how many tattlers were watching. The highest I clocked the viewing figure was 185

[Lanie]

I made her a birthday

Someone who has the time to decant soy sauce, lemon juice, oil etc into miniature glass bottles is not in any way shape or form BUSY.

Thanks @Pocahontas! Mmm salmonella!
The majority of the live was this strange view if anyone missed it.

 

[Billybellend]

Rats! Foiled again. If it hasn’t been for that pesky Del Monty fella actually going live, I’d have gotten away with it Congrats, @waffle maker - is there anywhere us non Instagrammers can see said video?

 

[Readingismyhobby]

I missed the ending . Had to take a call from the vet. Jacky will know how important it is to care for your pets!

There was a very good point made at the end of the last thread: it wasn't upside down. It should have been called cinnamon chicken with pineapple.

Do we think she realises that pineapple upside down cake is so named because it is, in fact, cooked upside down?

 

[ThriftStoreLeCreuset]

So I finished watching that fiasco and blended my zuppa de ceci (no spaghetti hoops involved). I forgot there was a bay leaf in it and now I have blended leaf soup, which feels somewhat appropriate. Guess she had the last laugh after all.

Prefect thread title! To be fair, it was getting a bit rowdy in the comments pre show, so that's understandable.

I would like to suggest a rename to the cooking shed to 'Salmonella Shack', because ergh just ergh, her raw chicken hands grasping at everything and hooking out the pineapple rings will stay with me all night

(If you're reading here Jack, hope your nerves have settled down, it honestly wasn't that bad all in all, now go enjoy the rest of your birthday!)

 

[Into_the_tunnel]

Thanks poca .

If she thinks pineapple juice can cook chicken does that mean we are to expect chicken ceviche in her next book?

Really hoping that the come down after that won’t mean a chaos or she sticks to the accounts.

We all need a break after the weekend, last night and this evening in readiness for Sunday.

 

[Mitzymooface]

Sooo much pepper... wonder how long we’ll wait for the veggie/vegan version ?!

Moo face does not look pleased with her hat!

How does she make food look SO BAD? It's like a negative superpower!

 

[Vanelope]

I was late and couldn’t ask questions because the thread locked! I just put sick faces on everything. Going back to grunk

sounds like it was horrendous

happy st Patrick’s day

She said it was going to be uploaded to the delmonte insta I think. You could watch it without an account then. My prediction is that they delete all copies and then track down all 187 viewers and ask them nicely to never speak of it again. #rubberbagofchicken

 

[Saint_clemmie]

Thanks @Pocahontas

god that was indeed “terrible”, her shaky voice at the end, I thought she was crying and have to admit I did feel uncomfortable and logged off to have a moment of reflection.

Sorry not sure how to cross post from the last thread but absolutely this: https://tattle.life/threads/jack-monroe-165-shes-in-a-fugue-state.17018/post-4299481

I would perhaps feel sorry for her if she recognised that she can’t present, she’s awful at it and brings no value but she genuinely thinks she’s deserving of these opportunities and thinks she’s doing everyone a favour.
Her rant about THAT MAN has certainly come back to bite her.

 

[calla123]

Late and unprepared. Still actually can't get over it! What a shit show!

 

[SpamNugget]

Well it wasn't a complete train wreck but ...her nerves ,jeez if you want to do live telly etc practice x1000 until you don't look like you're being held hostage ..

And WTF with the bottles she was pouring stuff out of the vinegar etc ,looked like cough mixture bottles FFS ,leave them in the jars/bottles THEY CAME IN .

She invites the criticism and ridicule because others have pointed out a gazillion times if you think you can just turn up and 'completed it mate' then a shit show will most likely occur .

Also it never broke 190 viewers I think ..don't now if Mel Donte will be happy .

 

[appleskin]

I opted not to add to the viewing numbers.

What caused her to be near in tears? was it one of the prepared questions?

If it was anxiety in her that caused the upset, she needs to find other work and quit looking for pity from strangers and maybe speak to a doctor if beta-blockers, SSRIs and therapy is not helping her
