Also squigs I know there’s a cost of living crisis and a lot of us are going to feel the squeeze and worse but I’ve not heard that Waitrose is threatening to quit due to it so there are still people out there who will be able to buy a leg of lamb and those who enjoy cooking and food and for them is a hobby and what they want to spend their hard earned cash on

sorry this race to the bottom really grates my mushrooms and Jack just feeds into it
 
Twitter search predictions just now...... 🤣🤣🤣

Jack Monroe is going up in the world. Now reached the heady heights of being searched for as a scammer and grifter, rather than a mere liar and grifter! If the cap fits eh Jack?
 
Jesus, I mean Jesus.... she's not going to shag you my fiends.... It's not like this current government haven't been doing a good enough job with the bankrupting job on their own, THAT MAN has managed to do it with one single episode of his show - well done son.

Yeah, go on Nigella! Help pull her out of the scammy hole that she dug for herself, that you added to! Nigella? (Taps sign) Nigella? Hey Fraus, anyone seen Nigella?

Grunking so apologies if this has been asked but do we know what her meeting was about from her tweet? I wonder how many phone calls and emails from family, agent, publisher, therapist she has received. Oh to be a fly in her inbox, phone, car journey home.
I think it would have been an AA meeting. They often start at 8 and finish around 9.30, 10pm

Firstly, there’s no way Jack would put that much effort into something. Even if it meant working with MOM.

Secondly, why would you make the more expensive Nigella dish if the cheaper one is so similar? Even wealthy people don’t throw money away bunging caviar in a curry. If they can do something cheaper, they will. While a lot of Nigella recipes have the odd pricey ingredient, lots of them are quite budget friendly. Not that I’ll ever be making them again for obvious reasons.
 
I would genuinely love to watch Jack attempt a 6 part tv series. TV chefs usually have a book out at the same time and showcase their new recipes and ideas. Every time Jack is on, she's still cooking the same old slop from 10 years ago. How many times has she cooked the peach and chickpea curry. The fish pie took 7 years to develop so she should have enough new contact by 2034. By then we'll all be eating vacuumed packed food supplied by NASA.
 
Proper baffled still that she’ll attack better known chefs for highlighting poverty issues and creating recipes, as she did to ol’ “fingers” Tom.

Publicly thanking them would have served her so well?

If you actually cared about helping struggling people and families eat well for less, you’d shout out every support available from the rooftops. Proper narc.
 
What is Jack's best course of action right now? I have been pondering this morning.
If I was her, I would keep quiet for a week, wait and see. If she doesn't fan the flames, this could all just lose momentum.
Stay off social media and pretend I am busy living my best life.

Of course Jack can't stay away so she is playing the AA meeting card while being snarky to people instead.
 
I understand there's a cost of living crisis - I'm a student so I'm pretty much always perma-broke by default anyway - but for the love of God, we poors don't have to torture ourselves with slop just because we're poor. Cooking Jack's recipes feels like the modern equivalent of self-flagellation, only slightly more painful. Can she not try and cook something edible for once? Jesus, even rice pudding or overnight oats or something would be a start.

She's speaking in Edinburgh this week. Questions will be asked. Trolls will be blamed
 
So I've been thinking a bit more about our wee Smol Pixie. Who is clearly 5ft1.7, despite clearly being much taller. I feel like because she is obviously so desperately fame hungry she decided on budget cookery as it could be 'her' niche, despite having no discernable talent for it. Only thing she didn't count on was the cost of living crisis. Now actual chefs are having to adapt to the simple fact that their bread and butter as it were can't always afford the good stuff, it has swept Jack's perceived market out from under her. Despite it not being hers to begin with. But instead of being a proper cook, and getting on with creating innovative, budget meals she is simply lashing out, crying and thrashing out at who she perceives to have robbed her of her one and only shot at lasting fame. (That man obviously)

It boggles my mind why she can't just cook something normal for a change, like why doesn't she whip up a homemade pizza for SB? Cheat if need be, frozen base, bag of cheddar/mozzarella mix from asda, some cheap passata and hey presto. But she would have to put something stupid on it like rinsed hoops, quinoa or bleeping a soiled wig or something. Then claim she invented pizza due to being an authentically Italian lesbian from Crete. Sigh

And on the subject of fish pies...just buy a 99p youngs one for god sake.
