Nigella Lawson appeared to throw some delicious shade in the direction of President Donald Trump with her “Recipe of the Day” on Wednesday, Trump’s final day in office.
“Well, yes, Bitter Orange Tart just happens to be #RecipeOfTheDay,” tweeted the famed British food writer and TV cook.
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

“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,” she added.
Lawson did not mention Trump in the post.
But Twitter users thought the name of the recipe, and her sharing it as Trump departed the White House, could only be aimed at one person.
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
