No thanks I will just get on with making regular mince pies thanks for the info though.

I’m a similar age to Jack, and a toastie maker would not have been a regular feature. Also, those bloody children, asking to be fed.
We had a toasty maker growing up, I think it was given to my mum though by my auntie who doesn't keep anything long. Toasties are nice but I don't get putting fucking mince pie filling in them, that would absolutely burn the bake of ya.

Just wrong. All kinds of wrong.

See also: raisins in ANYTHING.

Not sure of the rules on posting other accounts tweets when they're a 600k+ follower account but I squiggled just in case! Thought this very apt for our Jackie.

go on, spill the tea. I really loved Bowie 's last album; It reminded me of Scott Walker's later albums - listening to Tilt on headphones on a dark room is a truly terrifying experience.

I agree re: raisins - they belong in a mince pie or fruitcake but that’s it. I can’t be doing with them in savoury dishes or salads.

Also, mice pie sandwich toastie? Noooooo

Oooh what’s the tea? I’ve been following this!
It's all a landgrab for that sweet patreon/kickstarter dollar with a side helping of racism that other people are leveraging to gain the upper hand - which they don't seem to recognise as racist in and of itself. It's the knitting wars all over again but with 'business gurus' and mean girls.

I agree with you to a point, having been through the social media hate myself, but I keep a few because they amuse me, these are my fevourite:





That said, I have no doubt my experience wasn't as traumatic as yours @Lastoftheflumps - glad you've managed to put it in your past x

I see people tell her not to read the stuff that is written about her, and have to admit if it were me I wouldn't be able to NOT read - but she has to take it as it it is, the opinion of a few people on a website, brought about by her own actions, it's not life or death and not worth worrying about (in her case, not any other Frau's experience I hasten to add, that was probably built on lies and obssession BECAUSE THEY DON'T SHARE THEIR LIVES ONLINE!)

I think it's safe to say that if Jack had recorded something for *actual TV* she'd have told us about it. This was like, a one-day shoot which suggests it's just some random promo or something, idk.
I agree. A TV show is planned in the schedule, so it wouldn't be a surprise when it aired. Nor is a TV show likely to go viral (although WTF that is all about God knows). Sounds more like an advert for something.

This is a 'recipe' for a toastie.

This reads like she's fundamentally misunderstood where the butter goes in a toastie. It goes on the outside of the slop container (bread) to make it crispy. Not on the inside to make it sloppier. She needs to urgently refamiliarise herself with butter. Or give it a go with (don't have nightmares) lard.
