British cuisine has come so far in the past decade.
If you’d have offered a Northerner a quiche 10 years ago, he’d have slapped you across the face with it.
But now you’ll hear Welsh squaddies talking about “vol-au-vents to die for” they made last night or Brummy builders swapping tips on cooking with truffle oil. Well, almost.
But there’s some things even the enlightened British public is not quite ready for. You can go too far. There’s a line, and it seems Tesco crossed it when they created the Scotch egg pasty.

It seems creating a hybrid of the much-loved Cornish pasty and the equalled-treasured delicacy of the Scotch egg was one culinary step too far.
Some of the responses on Twitter were absolutely priceless…
@Tesco THATS. JUST. WRONG.
