Enough for four what? Battlehardened Attack Mice off the Side of the Blackberries?





In any case, the supermarkets round here only reduce by 10-20p first, then 40p before binning stuff. So you can buy a punnet of furry strawberries for £1.88 of a Sunday afternoon, down to £1.58 right before they go into the bins.

I don’t the pineapple thing. Like is that the whole meal or a side to something else.... genuinely bamboozled

Is that pineapple and cheese with custard.

True. I was still in the 'how' stage. Hadn't got to the 'what the duck?!?!?' one yet

What in the name of arse is that?

 

[Mrsfifi]

Im confused....The pineapple thing? To eat with what? Does she just make these weird things because she’s bored? Or did she find a pineapple in a park and has given up finding the owner of it? I still have so many questions about her.

Is there any cuisine she can't bastardise and duck within an inch of its life? I have about 10 Indian subcontinent cookbooks, none of them have a recipe for pineapple raita. Why? Because it's horrid.

 

[Walkdengirl]

has anyone had any luck with one of those giant turkey legs? I roasted one ages ago , it wasn't great tasting and was very difficult to eat as it is was full of sinew and hard and dry.

No, I bought the odd one when we were really hard up but it was the same as your describe. I went back to a chicken, a bit more expensive but edible

What the actual duck in that?

Sure someone has already said it but looks like something a small dog would throw up after you were too slow to stop them from eating a pile of grass clippings...it just has that exact grim colour
Edit: yes! It was @Geetbo and youre 100% correct

https://limegoss.com/jack-monroe-jamie-oliver/ in her own words it's jollof rice all over again.

 

[NellieBoo]

I'm guessing the raita is to eat with the dahl/stir fry veg concoction? Why can't she just make a normal raita? And have the pineapple as pudding or a snack?! It boggles my mind .

A lovely little up sum as always @Pocahontas

I'd like to add that by my (very rough because I don't really give a tit) count Jack now has 13 days until her misty-eyed poverty memoir/ D grade Wiki researched book report is due

Come on, you want to see what her excuse for missing the deadline is as much as the rest of us.

 

[bazzam]

I don't think much of the stuff she eats is family or everyday food. I can imagine how disappointed that child is at most meal times, with her weird take on on all this crap food. i can't imagine my mum ever giving us or anyone else instant mash and those vile sausages.

Bung it in a slow cooker! I have only cooked turkey joints(Tesco's that have a bone in) and not a big leg but it's been great, meat really tender and falls off the bone.
4 hrs on high.

 

[Mustard]

I think she’s getting confused with pineapple salsa. Or perhaps just grill the pineapple with butter and brown sugar.

 

[Morrisey]

Just edited my online shopping so we can have bum and bollock sausages and instant wallpaper paste for dinner next week, all chased down with shots of pineapple raita.

 

[EnglishRoseIrishRover]

Pineapple raita? Pineapple bleeping raita???
