Halfway through reading that & fully expected it to say “don’t bother cooking them, just eat them raw, smothered in lard”.

Which part of you is most horrified by this creature? The political commentator, or the chef? If she takes up acting or - hells forfend - singing, I'll stand by with a defibrillator.

If she’s on next season’s Masked Singer, I’m hunting you down! YOU put the idea of her singing into the universe. YOU did that!

If there's a lettuce character... #JustSaying

If only her News Year's resolution would be to learn to fade into the obscurity she richly deserves.

Wow, shaking a tin of hot roasting fat, that's always recommended 🤕 🙄

This really is the final straw…

It’s quite incredible how something that is categorically wrong can, these days, be dressed up as a ‘valid alternative take’ and presented at peer level alongside the actual correct answer ‘for balance’.

I can't help but notice that she doesn't mention turning the oven on at any point.

“Liz Truss” and “turn on” aren’t phrases you hear together very often, other than in very specific concerns of the dark web!

I remember hearing an interview with Michael Caine where he said for perfect roast potatoes put in cold fat… I don’t care whether it works or not, I want to hear them sizzle!!

Is this all about the reaction to Nigella's roast potato tweet?

The ‘just bung it in and hope for the best, it’ll do’ approach to both cooking and politics.

Having besmirched the humble iceberg lettuce…

Can we discuss the benefits of giving short-lived prime ministers a good shake half-way through?

(from coldwarsteve, obviously!)

" And with them, don't bother about cooking your vegetables, just eat them raw like Maggie would"

" just liberally scatter some gravy granules on top, no need for hot water"

I bet she doesn't season them, because salt is woke or something.

I’m not surprised that she gives as little care to how she cooks food for other people & the care she showed for our economy. Nothing within her says…I’m cooking for people and I care about getting it right - for them. You just know her husband will get the blame - her guests labelled ungrateful.

Now I need to know if a lettuce could make better roasties.

Here is an alternative question, is there any question you can ask Liz truss that she will actually give an answer that’s not completely and utterly incorrect in every single conceivable way?

What interests does Tufton Street have against Big Peeler?

The deep state is funded by Big Couscous.

So… her approach to cooking roasties is pretty much the same as her approach to “fixing” the economy? None of the prep work that she **really** should have done, according to ALL the proper experts, and a crappy result that is both utterly predictable and really hard for everyone else to digest. 😑

Or, redefine utter bollocks, and a politer version... something complete different, as a success.

I'm perfectly happy for her to give a pan of hot oil a good shake half way through, as long as there's no-one else near her.

What is wrong with her? How is olive oil interchangeable with goose fat?

Why would anyone ask her? That’s the most baffling part.

About absolutely ANYTHING! If we ignore her ling enough she’ll shut up

She’d be the first person in the world to give someone potato induced salmonella.

10 years to save the roast potato. Truss should be nowhere near a kitchen just like she should have been nowhere near Downing St

She doesn’t even mention turning the oven on, which makes this all the better

Why turn it on? She doesn’t cook her own food. She uses her massive “pension” from her 3 weeks premiership to eat out every night

Wonder what Big Potato think tank paid her to share this hot take?

That Is A DISGRACE

And that's on a good day.

Act without preparation. Sounds familiar.

It’s a dipshits idea of parmentier without flavour or pleasure? Seems on message. Roast potatoes it ain’t.
