Jack Monroe #179 Emotionally charged and ends with the threat of a lawyer

[Malkiavelli]

Don’t be a twit.

Well that’s that fucked then..

How likely is it that Louisa really wanted to eat the fecking peach and chickpea curry anyway?

That's what I was thinking. I saw the recipe and realised that it was the mendacious peach curry.

Plus, she even had to go out to buy a bloody tin of peaches!

The horror! The horror!

 

[Hollaaa]

Also the fear if being alone. Lots of my friends stayed in toxic relationship for this reason alone.

Thinking you're going to get your money back once their cashflow picks up is another one.

Omg a 4 scroll email on how to make rancid slop

It's even longer than it appears on twitter, Louisa edited out steps 8-11. It's too long to fit into 4 screenshots

I've clearly lead a sheltered life, I didn't even know you could get red spring onions

I'd make nice sandwich for Jack, reading that.
A knuckle one.

Babe, same. And I thought everyone called them 'scallions'.

From experience, sometimes you stay even if the sex is bad, if your own sense of self is a bit tit or you're reliant on whatever erratic emotional connection you get from the relationship (and ouch, Jack has at least done two of the things on her DA list - hope to god she's just being performative)

That peach curry would be ruined if made using these. RUINED!

No tit, the word scallion is completely new to me. Every day is indeed a school day..

 

[Clovis]

I mean, I've grown red spring onions so I'm familiar with this FANCY ingredient, but they're not something I recall ever seeing on sale in a supermarket so it's an odd thing to note. It would be an unlikely deviation from The Recipe.

Also, of all the inoffensive things you could substitute, I reckon that red spring onions would be very low down on a forensically researched list of belligerent ingredients.

This and the Turnip/Swede argument - it's a wonder we can communicate about food at all at all! Jack is an unwitting force of crossborder harmony!

I am so glad Jackie didn't go for her 'fall back career' of teaching (hahahahahahahahahahhaaaaa good luck with marauding teenagers or following a primary school poo incident) because she's patronising and RUDE. Her poor son if he catches her in a mood like this.

You bet she's rude to anyone with a customer facing job if she speaks to her partner like that.

Just to got to sure that they’re chopped ‘small small’. Okay, okay?

 

[Orphan_Black]

As abusive as the recipe reads, it's probably the most concise one she's ever written! Imagine if she put as much effort in her career? She'd be a millionaire in her very own house.

Spoiler: Onion Talk

I got pink onions the other day in Tesco, I was very excited about this.

Red spring onions are more expensive than the white ones.

 

[Candytuft]

Then I think. All this time when LC was engaged Jackoscam was doing what she does best. Lying, manipulating and begging.
I couldn’t stand for that personally.
BTW if you don’t want anyone expressing an opinion don’t put your lives out on SM.

Where I come from scallions are spring onions chopped up and placed in a dish with vinegar and mint sauce. They are amazing with everything.

Well the correct use of the term just got more confusing but bloody hell, that sounds amazing!
