Sorry most of this has already been said but:
- every nice modern British restaurant I’ve been to in the last 5 years has had a cabbage side (of note: Gary Usher’s charred hispi, and a cabbage and hazelnut delight at a posh place in Birmingham). It’s still cheap veg, but it’s not maligned. Unless you live in an Enid Blyton book.
- as a side to the kofta my husband made tonight we had a shredded cabbage salad. Raw. Why the duck would you boil and then fry slivers of leaf? God forbid she should have to chew, ever.
- at last she’s stopped pretending that she has friends.
- you can’t sing, Jack.
- your therapist (1/3?) is rubbish. You should take them off speed dial.
- Sue Perkins isn’t gonna shag you (I hope. Have some self-respect, Sue).
- her attempts to shoehorn Del Monte in at all costs (“I make pencil pots”
) without ever praising the product are an absolute embarrassment.
- the new filler looks horrible, as ever.

Okay if there is a God I’m putting my one and only plea out now….
not world peace.. but Jack on the Masked Singer dressed as a giant cabbage.
MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Is she not supposed to talk a bit more about the product?
My phone lockscreen is a tin of Del Monte pineapple!
In a crisis, I would call the Man from Del Monte. There's nothing a tin of fruit cocktail can't fix!
I missed Love Island because I ate too many Del Monte prunes, and was...otherwise engaged. Check out my Twitter for a livetweet extravaganza!

I had a theory that Jack could be all over Instagram, chatting all kinds of nonsense, and we’d have no idea but I wasn‘t expecting this!
Unfortunately the sweatshirt meme is DEAD now or else I would have shopped a nice cabbage on there. Every time she mentions cabbage I remember this photo of her which is saved in my folder of Jack-related pictures as 'jack laughs at a cabbage'. Also Jack, we've talked about this - you absolutely, comprehensively, completely and utterly cannot sing. Your quavering microtonal nasal whine is considered cruel and unusual punishment and no amount of lovely bathroom reverb or autotune is going to save it

SisterBrotherMamaPapa Jack was BUSY making matching outfits for everyone out of discarded William Morris curtains.
I believe this was shot on a beta max camcorder found in the original puddle. Looks like a little village in Essex, miles from anywhere doesn't it?
It's your accounts, Jack. Your accounts.
Why is she doing the "got your nose" thing with her hand?!Unfortunately the sweatshirt meme is DEAD now or else I would have shopped a nice cabbage on there.

Grunkaing, but I was just thinking that. I started school in 1985, and they switched to the more 'modern' version in about 1987, so before our heroine was even born.
Also, cabbage in avgolemono? I thought she loved her heritage!
Regarding Jack's ever changing bio, I am surprised I have never seen this cliche.
'Though she be but little she is fierce’
'Though she be but little she is fierce’
There is a definite air of 'This is what I'm going to do to those mithering ninnies...'
she would be better off playing recorder.... through her nose.
BIB Jack went to (and failed at) a grammar school, would that make a difference to lunch offerings?
Just adding Jack told Edwina Curry she failed grammar school. I did pick up from the infamous head teacher tweets that she was trying to change the narrative to grammar school failed her. In reality it should have been picked up if she would have thrived better at a different school. Having said that I think idleness has a great deal to do with her failure at school and much of the chaos since!
Certainly something was picked up as she was allowed to drop down to just 4 gcse exams. Also the family all went to that school so I’m not sure how well leaving to go to “Sarfend Comp” would be (and the foster kids probably went there!)
Went to a grammar school, can confirm we had chips, but only on fridays, never once saw cabbage up for offer. Was some lovely slab cakes sliced up everyday.
ETA: can also confirm I get wet when it rains.
That recipe is about as well proofed as one of The Grifter's; it goes on about this amazing mystery ingredient, tells you what it is, but fails to tell you when to add it.Also top hit on google reads very much like her essay -I see now why she considers herself a bodybuilder #lifteditmate
Sauteed Cabbage
Sauteed cabbage is an easy, DELICIOUS vegetable side that's healthy and goes with so many dishes! Vinegar is the secret ingredient to making it taste great.www.wellplated.com
What TF is graciously reading all about LI supposedly to mean?! She can't even write in English for a magazine.I don’t come here much anymore, so sorry if these have already been posted. They’re both from August. Chef’s
Not many kids will willingly eat cabbage so most schools wouldnt have attempted it, most veg would have been peas, green beans and carrots. We sometimes got carrot and parsnip mashed together at Christmas time for Christmas school dinners. Its foul i hated it. My mum serves it christmas and just like my sprouts i force it down.
ooooh i know who this account is and they are also an insufferable embarrassing attention seeker…a match made in heaven
Did jack really say the funniest people on tv were Sue perkins and This Morning presenters?
