Is this the 'book' that bombed at 3k sales? Because I'm thinking this is the last, desperate step before an Alan Partridge style pulping party.

Do you not think Sainsbury’s would have vetoed her after last time?

Why is the idea of tomato soup as an ingredient for tomato soup making me feel incredibly queasy!?
It's just so bizarre. Feeling blue? Can't be bothered cooking? Why not buy a can of tomato soup and blend it up with some tinned tomatoes?!

These are obviously Tattlers. So although I’d like to believe that people out in the wider world are getting wise to Jack’s bullshit, I’m not sure that’s actually true.
There are some squiggles quoted (one or two) who are not tattlers but do read here. It’s a public forum, nothing to stop someone reading along.

Again this goes back to ‘just open a tin of tomato soup FFS’. I love tomato soup on those sort of days...

Jack mate, wear whatever you like to the awards ceremony. You are under no obligation to look 'pretty' or 'nice', especially not to the cabal.

If you do go ahead with the Clown combo, people will laugh, and not in a good way, but if it makes you happy, go ahead, it is not like you are up to an award or anything,

Agree completely, can believe BLM squiggle came here and read for a bit as she references the horrific food JM was serving at that point in time, dusty mushrooms are ancient history to us now we’ve moved through the botulism era and we’re into charcoal paired with acidic slave labour fruits now. Usually a full on convert announces themselves, like we’ve got at least one vegan squiggle amongst us.

Sadly the reason I recognised her was because Jack had pretty much no interaction with any BAME accounts or seemingly any fans that don’t look like Giles and Nutty off gogglebox tbh. BLM squiggle rightly called her out for her bizarre behaviour around BLM, unsurprisingly Jack refused to engage or develop a view point beyond the defensive. Something I learnt with the Florence given / the slum flower row was publishers usually hire people to check for blind spots or potentially offensive content. It’s been said better by others on the thread but Jack has SO many blind spots - living in temp accommodation, a HMO, overcrowded housing, not having a £30 slow cooker, etc etc. Amazing none of these have ever been considered by her publisher, but they must be trash too so no surprises there

Also will never recover from just what a rude little gremlin she was that day, wild that we’re meant to be the scum of the earth yet she really brought the tone of the place down. Sadly none of us had discovered “awfully gauche darling” yet! xx

Apparently you can do this with a McDonald’s McFlurry and self raising flour!

Eta Soup with soup in it? Whatever next

I thought perhaps it was to double the portion of the tinned soup. But THEN I thought, surely it's cheaper to just buy two cans of tinned soup than it is to buy one tin of soup, one tin of chopped tomatoes, sundried tomatoes, oil and balsamic (plus you need to put it through a blender). In conclusion, I'm obviously putting way too much thought into it.

If you have ice cream, why not just eat the ice cream? Why am I typing this? Have I learned nothing?

Jack might get a recipe mentioned by Marcus and Tom.

One of the team might have contacted her “behind the scenes” to discuss this.

Still doesn’t make up for not posting a quick, congratulatory retweet.

Seems like a massive sulk to me.

I tried the ice cream cake mix! I had some ice cream I’d got fed up of and was going to chuck away. Needless to say, it didn’t work properly and the end result tasted like the ice cream and didn’t taste of cake.
