I still wouldn’t buy Del Monte products if I even liked tin fruit you paid me. We boycotted those fuckers in the late 70’s early 80’s for profiting from apartheid and they made masses of money on the backs of poorly paid, shockingly treated black South Africans that they never paid back! The “man from Del Monte” was their white South African businessman who made millions. The twats also treated workers like Shit in other African countries.

Nice work socialist Jack getting in to a nice lucrative deal with a company who’ve exploited millions of poor people...makes sense really, maybe this is where you took your inspiration from you despicable twat!

A couple of thoughts..
If she has signed a contract with them does that mean they 'Own' her recipes or whatever horror she comes up with?
If she does the Chickpea and Peaches will that the belong to them?
How long before they get a proper Home Economist/Chef in behind the scenes to save face?

didn't she once accuse them of stealing the peach curry?
I remember this! She went in HARD on Del Monte for republishing it without credit a few years ago. I wonder if any archived tweets have survived.

Not the apartheid part nowadays but they're still union busting and treating folk like shite but as long as Jacks alright who gives a shit about a few peasants with no PPE being paid peanuts.

I think as a collab they have some creative control and input.
Can’t wait for blended fruit cocktail soup with softly soft white bread

I suspect they’ve employed her because she has used fruit in savoury cooking.
Without thinking the peach curry is actually disgusting.
Oh there is some fun times ahead!

I apologise in advance for this horrible pun/play on her slogan. It doesn't even make much sense what I'm putting but my head is fried rn (no jack, you may not use it in a recipe or hang my friend head out of a window)

Jack's response to Edwina is basically this.

How did she this gig? I have a few thoughts...
Her agent (Natalia?) is a queen of negotiation and spin
Hellmans wrote her a good review just to off load her
She snuck in past security to give a live rendition of 'Potatoes' in the boardroom
She's got incriminating photos of the CEO
No one at Del Monte has ever used the internet
No one else on earth wanted the gig


Actually I have no fucking clue how she got it, but what I do guarantee is that Del Monte are on the first day of that sinking feeling when you realise you have seriously fucked up at work...
