Jack Monroe #2 Bootstrap cook on BBC one's Daily Kitchen Live with Matt Tebbutt

Why is she obsessed with being first at everything? Does she not realise she sounds like a complete dick?

It’s very cringey, like a school girl level of maturity.

I have quite a few tattoos (all well done from very reputable artists sans one drunken Camden mistake) and I’ve always found people who use their tattoos as a proxy for a personality have the traaaaashest work done, like Dartford high street tattoo shop flash all up their arms with no cohesive theme or style. Like if you’re going to make this your defining thing why not at least try to make it good?

And again with the bloody chickpeas.

Jamie made a good looking fish pie on his show, using frozen fish. I know which dish I’d prefer.

His fish pie looked very good.

That article is so cringeworthy. “I’m cool I am. I’m not like other girls” basically.

Not really Jack specific but 'I'm not like other girls' is always a line delivered by arseholes.

It's like she never progressed past being a woke GCSE student. I can remember myself at 14 doing and thinking the same kind of tit.

She reminds me of the kind of person that says they have an iPhone because they're creative and individual. So they have the same mass produced product that most have

Same. She’s me at 14. “I liked that band before they got popular. I had their first CD before it even came out.”

This 100%.. having tattoos is not a personality

Like these tattoos?

Also very specifically told the journalist she has 47 of them. Cringe.

A bit like those desperate boys on Love Island who know precisely how many people they’ve shagged because they keep track of it all in Notes on their phones. And are too stupid to realise that revealing it only shows the extent of their desperation.

She cannot stand any form of criticism. I am dying to see how she handles feedback from the general public (and not her sycophantic virtue signallers) on Monday.

"Avril Lavigne's new album is too commercial"

I’ve got three of those Burberry scarves and a trench. Scarves were c. £350 each and the coat was in excess of £1k, for context. I will openly admit to earning a lot more than the living wage and they’d be going on eBay before I ever had my begging bowl out, if I fell on hard times.

Cannot believe how disingenuous she is being about the JO fiasco. Never before have I seen such entitlement.

Loooool those love island boys who are proud they’ve disappointed over 100 women at 21, not knowing every woman at home is shuddering at the prospect of the limp cocaine addled boner being anywhere near them.

Funny you should say that, but “I’m not like the other girls” is literally what seems to drive every female who declares themselves as non-binary. So it doesn’t surprise me at all that Jack jumped on that train for a little while.

(I could rant for ages about NB nonsense. You’re NB because you hate female gender stereotypes and expectations? You hate the idea that women are upheld to Kardashian levels of hyper femininity? Join the club, guys).

Quite agree. The best way to reject those stereotypes is to carry on being yourself rather than creating a whole new category for people who don’t conform to to that very narrow set of standards, thereby ‘othering’ them.

Also falls down slightly when five minutes later you describe yourself as ‘evolving like a Pokemon’ by getting hair extensions.

Most luxury clothing has a terrible resell value though, unless we’re talking about Chanel bags or ~iconic~ vintage pieces (and those pieces will vary in value over time anyway?). Whilst they retain their value they’re harder to sell because of the price point, they require actual care and maintenance (eg you can’t shove them in a dust bag in your garage for a decade), and... you need an eye for that sort of thing? Sorry to get personal but judging by the outfits I’ve seen I would be amazed if she’s curating a luxury resell closet full of desirable vintage Westwood, Gautier and Versace pieces to sell onto stylists? It sounds like a way to justify buying more awful All Saints polyurethane jackets tbh?

You would be far, far better placed putting the cash in savings? Or if you wanted appreciating assets, a stocks & shares ISA... I actually grew up poor & constantly battle tit (needless) worries re financial security though, no cosplay for me

I've always wondered about vintage pieces, why are they so expensive. I like vintage clothes but would never buy them, I don't see the point in spend £££ on something that someone else has worn.

I realise I’m way too invested in this for one day BUT didn’t she call Jamie out for using capers saying they’re not a store cupboard ingredient? However i’ve just read her most recent Instagram recipe list which includes Ginger, a whole bulb of garlic, Soy sauce, chilli, coconut milk and lime pickle, none of which I have a problem with but I wouldn’t say they are much different to the capers. Imagine if Jamie had created that recipe, she would have ripped him to shreds.

Who’s got lime pickle knocking around their cupboard?!

Erm, me But that's mostly because I love the stuff. I stir it into curry and have even been known to eat it on toast. I appreciate that it's probably not a fridge staple for most I only ever buy fresh ginger if I've got a cold and it's reserved purely for hot lemon, honey and whiskey.

Jack changing the world with telling people that normal rice is "just fine" for a paella. Well fancy that

As if the "twitter rice police" ever existed. Are these invented arguments internalised from her middle class life?

i dont see why anyone even needs to ask her, a quick google would give you the same (less snarky) answer
