Jack Monroe #22 The Condiments Thread. Jack's in a pickle over mayonnaise.

Turning comments off probably means she’s told Hellman’s that a cabal of fraus are harassing her online. It also means she can’t be held to account publicly. Obviously the only opinion that ever matters is JM’s

 

[Harrybosch]

Why oh why is nothing ready? She's had all bleeping day! I've been busy on tattle all day AND managed to make a lovely sweet potato and green bean curry for tonight. With black pepper.

 

[Flumps]

She has a real elegance about her.

And she's so calm and still. As someone who can never stop nervously moving I find it fascinating.

 

[Peachy9]

Did she come back with that pink pan and start picking crud off the side of it?

 

[Yel]

The kitchen/shed/dining room looks really nice, and I do like the dreser.

Presumably one of the 12+ people from unilever either did it for her or told her exactly how to stage it and chased her up to actaully do some work for a change

 

[LavaFlake]

I don't mind this unkindly, but she should really really stick to writing. She is so nervous and uncomfortable. If I wanted to feel on edge I'd watch a horror and if I wanted to feel uncomfortable I'd watch Peep Show. I watch cooking to soothe and relax - e.g. Nigel Slater in the Middle East or Nadiya cooking for her family.

Ed’s trying to get me to do a McDonald’s drive through with him, tbh the meal won’t be finished by the time I get back at this rate

Please get yourself McDonalds, do it for me! I’ve been hankering for a milkshake for ages, but we’ve got ‘meal plans’ for douche bags, that must be adhered to my own stupid rule!!

 

[Fitnessqueen]

“that sounds lovely” - I haven’t listened to a word you just said....

 

[Peachy9]

Did she come back with that pink pan and start picking crud off the side of it?

Also she's just poured tap water into it and plonked the cauli in... Surely boil the water first for a live? I mean, christ.

WHY IS NOTHING PREPPED?

Please can you send me the recipe! Xx

Someone has just told her into her ear to ask Chetna about her YouTube channel (pure speculation m'lord). It came out of nowhere and interestingly has immediately turned into a monologue about how JM is so chaotic and wishes she were like Chetna.

 

[The Devils Arse]

Hahaha we should have a mcds x viewing tattle party. I think the queues are going to be massive and he’s nuts tbh, altho if I could have a McFlurry I’d be revving the engine myself

We went past one earlier one and they had 4 bouncer type people in the car park!

 

[heretoreaditall2019]

:/ Chetna is a pro because she’s spent years putting in the work & subsequently improving

She's spent literally all day reading on here! There's a very important legal case happening guys

All roads lead to jack.

 

[BeautifulTrauma]

The fact she's turned her comments off is peak Jack.

She just isn't suited to live television, and that's me being kind. Give it up, you have plenty of other great qualities Jack and find your niche as forcing yourself into doing these is shambolic.

 

[Yel]

The time she actually uses the mayo she doesn't even mention it and Chetna has to prompt her

Chetna earning her unilever fee and they obviously briefed her so the mayo got a mention

I'll take a chocolate milkshake and some (hot) fries to dip in it please.

Just an experiment - Everyone turn off for a minute at 5.30 and I will see what the viewing figure drops to.
