Episode 3: Jack misses her flight to Stockholm after staff at Heathrow decline to accept tattoos as ID. She instead travels to Ikea, learning that working class people can enjoy Swedish food, too.
I remember it like it was yesterday when thread 1 took off. It felt like tattle had actually achieved it's purpose and little did I know how amazing all the watch parties would be.
If only her pasta had of been cooked past the point where it no longer snapped and maybe she'd still be invited on this morning

Aw, speaking of cab drivers, I am crushed my favourite Southend cab driver hasn’t ever graced us with their presence again. Was eagerly awaiting tales of Easter Bunny Jack, leaving baskets of devilled eggs and chocolate covered prunes on people’s doorsteps in the dead of night.

Episode 9: Jack travels to Portugal. This episode was never actually released. There was a mild international 'storm' as The Daily Express later called it. Apparently Jack kept saying she was in Spain, when pointed out her mistake she shrugged and said 'well all Iberian countries are interchangeable aren't they? '

Can you imagine for a second that That Man or Mom were as basic as Jack and had only just discovered Polish shops, despite them being widespread in the UK for at least 20 years? I imagine they would buy a few ingredients, make some meals, test them, refine them and then do a post of whatever it was they made with helpful ingredients lists, measurements etc. Jack posting a load of unrelated Polish ingredients that she has spunked a load of cash on because she is a compulsive consumer and shit with money is of no use to anyone, particularly her low-income followers who I doubt have the luxury of buying a whole shelf of food on a whim. Also why does she have to be so ED triggery? She can post that she enjoyed the different flavour Jaffa cakes without pretending that she snaffled the whole lot like a greedy goblin. Polski Sklep Jack has really pissed me off!

This is all reminding me of Jack's brief foray into Instapoetry last summer.

This is exactly it! Also, why not tag some Polish foodie accounts and say 'Hey, I got this apple horeradish and had it in the crevice of my pork pie. What would you eat it with traditionally?'
Her lens is this very imperialistic view of of food. 'Look at these weird and funny things. Now let's make them palatable to my more refined tastes.'
It's all about tone and nuance when it comes to food. I'm not a purist (fgs I'm vegan, so I can't be purist about many traditional dishes, I have to adapt them) and I don't really buy into the whole cultural appropriation thing when it comes to food, but there is a way in which you can be inspired by a cuisine and adapt it that is respectful and even innovative or fun, and there is a way that is patronising and othering.
There is a freedom waiting for you. On the breezes of the sky. And you ask, ‘What if I fall?’
‘Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?’
I walk past this fella every day but today I broke resistance in honour of the Emin: ‘You inspire me with your determination and I love you.’
‘Oh, but my darling, what if you fly?’
It didn’t. Shoe shot for the fetishisers.
