Where is Jack’s fishfinger thread?

Has it been pulled? It was hilarious. She started a thread about her AMAZING fishfinger lasagna but it seems to have disappeared.
Is MNHQ scared of upsetting her?

I was just looking for that; hate watching things on YouTube so was hoping someone would give me a quick summary of what it entailed (because I was curious rather than wanting to make it).

2Kidsinatrenchcoat · 10/09/2020 17:07

It just says “Message from MNHQ: Thanks for the reports. We're not sure about this one so we've taken it down now.”

LaMarschallin · 10/09/2020 17:09

Oh, right.

Thanks, 2Kids.

Fishfinger lasagne??

CuriousaboutSamphire · 10/09/2020 17:10

Oh! I thought, given the name, comedy kitchen, and filter on the video that it was a joke from start to finish!

Wonder what it really was?

DrCoconut · 10/09/2020 17:12

Fish finger lasagne sounds awesome. I have to try it.

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 10/09/2020 17:14

ewww - they'd go soggy - and all that carb. Sounds horrid.

amijustparanoidorjuststoned · 10/09/2020 17:15

I have no issue with Jack Monroe at all.

But the idea of a fish finger lasagne is really upsetting.

Whiskyinajar · 10/09/2020 17:17

Nadiya Hussain made fish finger lasagne in 2019 which caused a lot of debate at the time.

Other people have done the same so it's not anything new,

awesomeaircraft · 10/09/2020 17:21

Why not. There are at least a couple of fast food chains which serve fish fingers between break baps, right?

JemimaTab · 10/09/2020 17:21

Other Birds Eye and Nadiya have already done fish finger lasagne recipes before, so this is nothing new. (Not for me, though - sounds like it would be a soggy fishy mess).
I guess this was about a video Jack Monroe put up on her YouTube channel. I wouldn’t call it a recipe though as there were no instructions and the video was done through a strange cartoony filter so you couldn’t even tell what the ingredients were.
So has Jack ambushed Mumsnet for a bit of self-promotion then? Again.

Caelano · 10/09/2020 17:35

This thread wouldn’t post first time round so I wrote another cryptic one. I assumed that mentioning fishfingers, lasagna and Jack in one sentence must have triggered an automatic block Grin

Jemima I think so. It was painfully transparent!

We’re not allowed to say a video has a stupid filter now?

Mrsemcgregor · 10/09/2020 17:41

Did Jack herself start a thread on MN? Or was it just a thread about the erm...interesting recipe?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 10/09/2020 17:46

It was a very excited "Ooh it sounds daft but tastes fantastic' thread

But the video it linked to was by JMs Comedy Kitchen and had a strange filter, bobbly music and no comments allowed. I just thought it was one of those 'I did a funny thing' videos someone had liked! No recipe or anything!

ButtWormHole · 10/09/2020 17:47

Oh are we allowed to call Jack ‘she’ again?

ChilliBeanSauce · 10/09/2020 17:54

Every recipe I've tried has failed. She doesn't cook for poor people, she cooks for the impressionable middle class who think that poor people should be happy and grateful to rinse beans (from her recipes), grate corned beef (from her daily kitchen appearance) and eat uncooked linguine (from her this morning appearance). When will production companies get the message that poor people don't wish to eat shit tasting slop ?

CuriousaboutSamphire · 10/09/2020 17:55

Well, I think she does, so maybe!

Various articles this year have hailed her as UK’s queen of thrift the most recent ones use she throughout.

Her Twitter thingy is devoid of pronouns but has fetching and feminine picture of her.

Slatkater · 10/09/2020 17:55

@ButtWormHole, yes she is no longer on the trans bandwagon!

SteakExpectations · 10/09/2020 18:22

I think she’s in the middle of a MH crisis. She’s made her twitter private and has started publishing these weird YouTube videos.

What? Surely you’re either trans or not? You can’t just hop on and off the wagon when you feel like it:

TheSeedsOfADream · 10/09/2020 18:58

Jack likes her wagons.

BigBadVoodooHat · 10/09/2020 19:01

Sure you can. You can change your mind as often as you like, and no one must ever question it as that’s blatant transphobia. 🤷‍♀️

BreconBeBuggered · 10/09/2020 19:08

I don't care what gender Jack is or has ever been, but can someone explain in general terms the concept of fish finger lasagne?
