Cole Palmer's strange meal deal choice urged to 'be debated in parliament' as Chelsea star makes odd 'jam' request

The Chelsea star helped promote Pringles' Hot Blazing Fried Chicken flavour this week and in that advert, he was asked about his go-to meal deal. The 22-year-old admitted he had never had one of those before, but when pressed on the matter he said it would be a jam sandwich. Football fans leapt upon this, with one saying this should be "debated in Parliament".

@KevinWh14063568 wrote on X: "Someone needs to start a petition to get jam sandwiches as part of the Tesco meal deal. I want this debated in parliament."

@ajwhite1981 tweeted: "He needs to get out of London before he progresses to Simply Ham or Cheese Savoury."

@rickkenmoresms commented: "Really sad to see how detached from reality these footballers are becoming."

@Con_24 put: "Like when Radio 1 asked Steven Gerrard his favourite cheese, and he said 'melted'," and @b_mason1991 added: "Jam done me there."

Aside from off-the-field matters, Palmer's form has nosedived in recent weeks. The England international has failed to score or assist in Chelsea's last seven games, at a time when they have struggled in the Premier League. The ex-Manchester City man, who had been prolific for the west London outfit prior to this bad run, and the Blues will hope he returns to goalscoring action as soon as possible.

Palmer has a chance to right the wrongs of late when his Chelsea side take on Copenhagen next Thursday in the last 16 of the Conference League.
