Nigella Lawson’s ‘recipe of the day’ was the subtlest, most savage Donald Trump burn

Nigella Lawson hasn’t gone this viral since she said ‘microwave’. The TV chef was trending today after her ‘recipe of the day’ managed to be both a subtle and savage burn of Donald Trump.

It might just be a coincidence obviously but … nah, of course it isn’t.

Well, yes, Bitter Orange Tart just happens to be #RecipeOfTheDay. Apart from anything else, there are more things to make with Seville oranges than marmalade! This is not complicated: the base is bashed ginger nuts https://t.co/ZXSbk7uMX8 pic.twitter.com/fbOM96sHKQ

I should also let you know that if you don’t have Seville oranges, the recipe also gives the option of using the juice of regular eating oranges and limes. Plus, the curd filling is fabulous just on bread or to sandwich a cake

A dish fit for a president! Well, one president in particular, although he presumably would prefer a hot apple pie.

And here are just a few of the things people were saying about it.

Absolutely LOVE @Nigella_Lawson for making this her recipe of the day today pic.twitter.com/mhGbFrSaL1

If anyone says "Given the last few years, are there any things that still make you proud to be British?" I have to reply, "It's a dwindling list, but Nigella Lawson calmly choosing Bitter Orange Tart on the day Trump leaves office would be one of them." https://t.co/JTAR5pZWR7
