Jack Monroe #357 Tom Kerridge Stole My Recipes

[Veronicaaa]

Guys, guys, GUYS! We really are moving too fast. Can I just go back to this minute https://tattle.life/threads/jack-mo...e-mortgage-harold.32407/page-54#post-11117150

TL;DR - you put all your ingredients in the microwave. That's it. You add your stock and cook for 4 minutes. But that's not even the worst part. The worst past is she seems to think that if you microwave it for an extra 2-4 minutes, you'll be able to cook rice in it.

Completely by the by but I was at an improv workshop with her (she was there, we didn't go together) many years ago and she was hanging on to her then boyfriend throughout. As if she thought someone might steal him away. He was a just starting out comic - can't remember if he made it. I just thought her behaviour was odd, as nobody wanted her boyf, we were just there for the improv, man.

Apparently he 'is one of the country’s top headline comedians and he’s garnered a reputation for barnstorming performances which leaves audiences on a laugh packed high'. So that's told me.

I went to the Edinburgh Fringe in about 2014 and went to her show. Genuinely the least funny thing I’ve ever seen and I once watched an episode of Mrs Browns Boys.

She did a stand up charity gig at one of the theatres I worked in. She wasn’t particularly pleasant (although admittedly I’ve met worse) and not very funny. Not someone I’d ever pay to see.

Just caught up again. One thing?

I live near a uni and the one thing i have noticed is alot of her recipies look like one of our popular student haunt night club pavements during freshers weeks. The likeness is uncanny.

I’m just jumping forward again (not so far this time!) to say that I am having a wee bubble (small cry) at Flower of Scotland being played after Scotland’s latest gold at the Commonwealth Games. I’m laying this emotion firmly at Jack’s door, I honestly feel like I’ve been on the gin and j1g! This week has been quite something.

This time last week, the Lionesses had won and Jack had just launched Operation Self-Sabbotage…

What is it meant to be? Culinary clinical depression. I mean boiled mushrooms and garlic -YUCK. As for the "don't worry if it looks a little gross", words fail me. I'd find it quite hard not to worry about that frankly.

Crunchy rice. Excellent for crumbly teeth. Bon appétit!

Lads lads, it's true!

Perhaps, and it's a big haps, our lady of the pumble could crowdfund doing a BTEC in cooking skills? She doesn't seem to know much except "rinse it and microwave it".

I went to the Edinburgh Fringe in about 2014 and went to her show. Genuinely the least funny thing I’ve ever seen and I once watched an episode of Mrs Browns Boys.

I saw her do a reading of her book as part of a Fringe show, and every time she stumbled over a line, she went right back to the beginning and started again. It was torture.

Susan Calman was co hosting the show, and she is genuinely funny and warm. Really witty and laid back. She deserves the success she has.

Jackie, you could never.....

She was planning on doing a degree in nutrition last year. She wrote about it in Diva magazine and then never mentioned it again.

Things are about to get rough for a lot of people this autumn/winter, and I think it's going to make a dent in Jack's piggy bank.

What's the first thing you cut when you need to save money? Unnecessary outgoings, such as subscriptions, donations etc. Especially when those outgoings don't actually result in tangible goods.

Can you imagine the panic that would hit her if she gets a sudden large drop? Even though more eyes are on her now, I think we'd see some epic tin rattling. Sadfishing dial would be turned right up.

I’ve just been on the Full Time Meals website looking at the recipes

#EndChildFoodPoverty Campaign

We lead the award-winning #EndChildFoodPoverty Coalition, supporting Marcus Rashford's campaign to improve low-income children's access to food.

endchildfoodpoverty.org

and none of the recipes look like they were originally from Jack completely different vibe

I’m not considering spicing up Super Noodles or overnight oats original to Jack

No doubt the evil cabal of bots contacted the university and said they would literally wish the entire planet stopped breathing if they let her in.

Our students are back doing “pre-season”.

.

Last night there was a wheely office chair in the middle of the road. I wheeled it back to its natural habitat of a community skip.

(agree with you on the pavement thing)

Susan Calman was great hosting the Great British Menu. Love her.

Surely it’s recipe writing 101 that you don’t use the word gross in it?? But then I’m not a literal food expert so what do I know

 

[Sketchy]

Wait, could it have been Tom Kerridge who stole DEAD Grandad’s Le Creuset and all the “essential” papers from the garage too? Is Burglar Bill really…..Tom Kerridge?

OMG. Really? What is she trying to prove to the world of social media with that pic? Did she put that photo on SM herself, or did someone do it in an act of revenge? If anyone put a pic of me on the internet looking like that I'd not stop until I'd hunted them down and killed them outright.

I paid to see her and I regret it.
On the plus side, I never bought any of Jack's books.
