I have thoughts about this lunch.

It is not a slop. This food has defined edges. A beginning, an end, and possibly a texture in between.



That toast looks suspiciously like untoasted toast, i.e. bread.



Horseradish butter, leek and fried finely sliced mushrooms sounds decent. Surprising.



Beetroot-pickled mackerel, because she always has to add the weird ingredient. Jack logic says ''if it's not going to reek, what's the point of it? This bungalow will always smell like an aquarium. That'll do.''

AND the most pressing question - why is she using my grandparents' knife?

It's been a long while since I thought about this, but as soon as I read this my brain recited "the bromelain in tinned pineapple is denatured". Clearly I'm still haunted by this incident.

It's like one of those school assembly hymns that you always remember.
 
Poor beetroot.

Genuinely hope all this performative semi-imaginary foul slop slinging over the past couple of days is for our benefit rather than adorable scampering for some poor hapless bastard she’s trying to reel in out there in real life Southend.
It’s the first time I’ve noticed the green bean jenga on the “despair on a plate” oeuvre
 
What is going on under the rack? Why is there some kind of growth or mould with weeds on it?

Talk about Crimes Against Root Vegetables! 😦

These are horrendous!
