This "recipe" makes no sense. The tinned stewed steak is already cooked so it doesn't need further cooking, just warming up. Adding a tin of tomatoes just stretched the meat and makes the whole thing more soupy. Fine if you're really broke and trying to make a little meat go further but I fail see why onions or other veggie additions are optional -- I think you'd need some extra texture to make it less gloopy.

Using cola with meat is sometimes helpful to tenderise and marinate before cooking (I'm sure she's swiped the idea from Nigella who swiped the idea from some American cooks who do ham in cola) but there's no advantage to adding it after the meat is cooked, other than providing a sweet flavour which would be rank. It defies explanation here.

Why am I even bothering with this?

If this squig is genuine, they must have damaged taste buds and no teeth.

I think we should discuss the possibility that something (possibly the worst thing) might be cooking.

A week or so ago when guest was talking about some jacket or other and she said it wouldn't fit her for much longer because she was 'gloriously expanding'...

Now I don't know about anyone else, but the only time I would describe weight gain that way would be:

a) if I was underweight and needed to put on some pounds
b) if I was excited because... :oops:

Jack has history of breadcrumbing this for attention. In OH days she did this then forensically googling Jack Monroe pregnant in the forlorn hope it has made a sidebar, or even better OK magazine.

Not really a spoiler, but it didn't. She did find one bot generated article that said they didn't know.

Jack seems to claim she is near fluent in Italian, writes notes and recipes in Italian, sings songs and listens to them in Italian/Latin and of course she went to the Per Rialto. She probably tried to do Italian Duolingo and 🦉 said “but we can’t teach you anything Jack, you’ve l’ho completato, amico“ yes that is Google translate and I feel like amic- should be ended with an a or i, but I think you get the gist

I thought banging out the fluent Cypriot was her modus operandi…..?

Not at 40XP a week she ain't- she must be spending a fortune buying streak freezes, just so she doesn't lose it, rather than actually doing any learning. Pathetic.

I get the rage about that SW recipe as I have seen advocates claim it “caramelises” the chicken. No it bleeping doesn’t as there is no sugar in it. Some diet recipes do my tits in. I need to lose a bit of weight but I would rather not eat than eat disgusting tit.

SW annoys me for many reasons but the main one is the nonsensical theory of it. Like the banana thing. duck off!!

For a three tin recipe it would’ve been better to use a tin of steak, tin of potatoes, tinned peas and top with some dumpling mixture. Most people have flour in to mix with water, and it would be less sloppy and more filling.

It’s the fact they say avocados are bad but a mugshot of instant noodles are good. (And I know that people don’t like the ethical reasons about avocados but nutritionally they are good)

Can I just go off topic and do a public service announcement. That new hunger games movie is bleeping terrible.

I actually quite enjoyed it.

Yeah it's not as good as the original trilogy - imho both books and films are excellent - but I liked how it showed how things were near the beginning, it made sense as part of the world.

Also Rachel wossname is a better singer than guest.
