Celebrity mansplaining Nigella Lawson
Nigella Lawson’s delicious takedown of a cookery mansplainer will never be off the menu
There’s no shortage of men prepared to pop into a woman’s mentions to tell her she’s doing something wrong, but you’d think they might pause a little before mansplaining an actual expert’s own field to her. LOL. Just kidding – that’s the thing they love the most.
This little exchange from 2018 is a perfect example.
TV chef and national treasure, Nigella Lawson, tweeted her plans for a slow-cooked Christmas ham.
8 kilos of ham and 1 tin of black treacle going into the oven for 24 hours now! I do have a recipe, coming up for #RecipeOfTheDay on Monday (though for a smaller joint of ham) and I’ll give it to you now too https://t.co/ax5qT2Gjid pic.twitter.com/1jPY9RmQhy

Up popped cookery expert mansplainer, Tom Smith, with a correction.
He got this reply.
The fridge wouldn’t do a very good job of cooking it!

She cooked him!
Most people would have left it at that, but not Tom.
The exchange got a lot of funny reactons, including these –
Pig ignorant

I'm so concerned by "Love this, but…". Is he suggesting he *loves* a cold, uncooked 8 kilos of ham with an entire tin of black treacle upturned on it? This man must be stopped.

One Twitter user, Carol Bartle, pointed out that it wasn’t mansplaining at all, it was …
Hamsplaining!
Congratulations, Carol, you’ve levelled up on Twitter.
