‘Bitter Orange Tart’

Donald Trump has departed the White House for the last time. He’s gone. He is no longer president. What a historic day.

Everyone’s favourite celebrity chef Nigella Lawson marked the occasion with a not-so-sly dig at Trump in the form of her #RecipeOfTheDay.

There are no rules to her daily recipe tweets – they can range from spinach and avocado salad with pumpkin seeds to lemon tendercake with blueberry compote – but on today of all days it could only be one dish.

Bitter Orange Tart.

Do you see what she’s done there? Because he’s a bitter old man, who wears far too much fake tan, and well, tart is a good insult. Oh you did get the joke. Good, just checking.

“Well, yes, Bitter Orange Tart just happens to be #RecipeOfTheDay,” she tweeted.

“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.”

Aside from the gag, the dish does look pretty delicious.

Well done Nigella, we stan.
