Jack Monroe #193 Mama, pass the UNICEF statistics and the Hansards!

[colouredlines]

I half collect vintage recipe books, partly for how awful they can be. Do you think Jack maybe also collects them, but actually takes them seriously?

I've mentioned my love of vintage Australian Women's Weekly cookbooks before (and hell, modern AWW cookbooks too - they are the best!). It seems like a good moment to share this lasagne recipe, which opens with the instruction to boil your pasta for 30 minutes...

...and still looks more appetising than anything Jack's ever produced!

Is Hannah Gadsby a secret Tattler?

The dip dye effect is where she smashed half a bottle of whisky in it, she said it stained the leather .

“The total cost of all my tattoos combined is cheaper than a Mulberry handbag!”

You say that like it’s a good thing, Jack…

And we can tell from where they've bled out hun.

Desperately trying to catch up as much as I can, but this popped up on my insta feed and I had to share.

Just throwing it out there, V&A in London have a bag show right now, sponsored by Mulberry, on the first week they reopened, all museum members got a free tote bag, designed by.....you guessed it; Mulberry, lol. Jackie missed her chance of a freebie!

I was looking too, but can't see anything really alike. I'm not sure that genuine Mulberrys would use this kind of material joining the bag itself to the handle? I don't know what it's called, but it's also on the shorter handle. If you see what I mean - I'm not being very articulate this morning.

@Veronicaaa you’re right the strap attachments at the sides are different on the Mulberry Elkington...

Marcus has become a Muriel, smol pixie will be fewmin she’s not been immortalised

 

[Arsov Cooper]

If she does, she will duck around with the recipes, ensuring readers ' it will set later' only for it to remain a puddle of piss with bits in it

Isn't there an annual award for food writing? If there is, I'm putting my money right here.

That lasagne looks structurally unsound. How are the lasagne sheets even holding it together?

This looks like a cheap third party repair, like when you take something into Timpsons.
Don't ask me how I know. Okay then, it's from filling my work bag with absolute mountains of shite and never cleaning it out.

But they wouldn't put it on the top of the smaller handle, would they?

It does seem unlikely, but this is no likely scenario from start to finish, so I'm going to go with

 

[hydeist]

Have we just scooped Jack with yet another lie, ie. a fake Mulberry after all that bragging? Quick, someone get it on the Designer Goods thread, they'll know

No wonder they look so tit then. Paying randoms £20 to do your tattoos is never going to go well (and I say that as an entirely ink free person too)

 

[Lanie]

just looked up how to know if you're bag is genuine. And saw this.

 

[waffle maker]

I own a fake mulberry bag. I knew it was fake, I got it from a secret shop in an alley in the spice souk in Dubai. The bloke showed me how good it was by holding a lighter next to it and it didn't catch fire. It cost AED500 (about a hundred quid) The strap broke almost immediately- the clasp bit that clipped onto the bad was cheaply made. It was a stupid purchase, I'm not even into bags.

Maybe she got Big Mandy to do them?

I have alot of friends who have lots of tattoos some of them were done when they were very young and in some cases drunk on holidays are tit and some have been done properly. They often hide the ones that were done stupidly if they can.
