Comté is just gruyère made in a specific location (PDO). It looks a lot like manchego.

I’m glad you did as I’m also a fromage frau. Used to live in France and Lidl Comté was my hard cheese of choice as a cheddar substitute. Melts lovely in a cheese toasty.Comté is just gruyère made in a specific location (PDO). It looks a lot like manchego.

Jack has no idea.
Hey Jackie, this would be a great weekend for your wild camping. Minus 15 and a foot of 
snow.
snow.
You could probably tell some of these that it's thanks to Jack that rickets is no longer a common sight, and they're so high on the honk they'd believe you (then bring it up on Twitter when the sideboards get mentioned)
She could stand barefoot in the snow. Great for arthritis I believe.Hey Jackie, this would be a great weekend for your wild camping. Minus 15 and a foot of
Comte is not hard. It’s bendy. Like a slightly firmer emmenthal. I am a french adjacent Frau 
so I am up on your French cheese. Manchego is Spanish and similar. Neither of them are like Parmesan.
I know you’re all going to be shocked, but …

I haven’t seen a jar of crab paste since my grandad (who didn’t own a B&B) died. It looks like something they’d hand out during the war as part of rationing. Or your history teacher would try to horrify you by telling you how soldiers at the battle of suchandsuch had to survive on bread made from rocks with only crab paste on top.
Bit bendier than edam but similar rubbery-ness
When you say a foot of snow...... 
No. Jesus actually told people to go to Chili's.

Comté--French Alps cheese. Not a specialty cheese with accessibility issues, oh no. Trust Jack to love and recommend a Cheese of The People.
Yay! I love an air fryer. Now I have two I will make air fryer tortillas for everyone except the povvos and Jack and laugh at them with my kitchen full of specialist equipment,Thanks to @Griftymcgriftface for the thread title - words by Jack herself: ‘The ~plans~ are going well, it’s the execution that seems to be lacking … plus ca change
Typing those tildes pained me considerably.
Grifty, you win an air fryer. Jack doesn’t, as she’s already given away two for being ‘specialist equipment’. Never let it be said she doesn’t have her finger on the pulse.
Ok so she came back last night all namaste but it fairly quickly became a ‘go well’ situation. Has she moved? Apparently not, but she’s trash talking both future and present landlords.
Please add to the recap or correct any inaccuracies!
It's always been on sale in Asda- it's one of those things I always laugh at like a kid when I see the little pots of it
(Adding, I have to admit, I buy the crappy salmon paste pots- I know it's probably barely had a bit of fish waved near it, but I do like it on toast. Sorry Fraus
)
Bit hard to push a shopping cart through the snow, though. Public transit might also be affected.
Best to stay home and see what snow might fall there
ETA: Just came across the part in Jack's tweet about her latest creations, where she blames the look of the photos on all her professional photo staging equipment being packed away for the move. Hun, your photos looked that dire when you staged them "professionally".
Also, “good, healthy meals”??
When? Where?

Re Comté: it’s a cheese that cheffy types often rave about in TV, so I expect that’s where Jack got it from (or from Allegra). Cos she likes to think she’s one of them.
I tried it once and was a bit underwhelmed TBH.P.S. Re accents on iPhone (someone mentioned this): you just keep your finger on the relevant letter on the keyboard and the accents pop up.

Comté is the absolute don of cheeses. End of. Yours, Mavis Beacon, posh wanker.

Did we see this in the FT in Jan? The high-stakes business of managing brand ‘Me’.

I particularly liked this comment.

WTF comte cheese?! (Sorry don’t know where accents are on my iPhone.) Never heard of it in my life, but I did wonder why you were all mithering on the last thread about a C19th philosopher…

Press and hold the letter dearheart- the various accents will pop up over the letter so that you càn chœse. Olé. Works on all Apple devices.
That cheese is made in Los Angeles. Straight outta comte.

I’m sure Jack has been all across the news, excuse you! She warned the government about this tomato problem ten years ago!
