You'd think Spanish police had enough on their plates tackling crime – but now they shifted their focus to take Tesco to task over a "heretical" paella sandwich.
During International Paella Day five days ago, officers tweeted:
"The paella sandwich for some is heresy, for others a violent attack on good taste and it could even threaten health. We are waiting for your formal complaints."
¿Qué hoy es el #DíaMundialDeLaPaella?...
Pues a celebrarlo con una... pero de las buenas, no esas cosas que venden por ahí...
El "sándwich de paella" para unos es herejía, para otros degüella el buen gusto y hasta podría atentar contra la salud
😂😂😂😂

One outraged Spaniard replied: "This is an insult and a lack of respect for a Spanish dish, for a community in Spain, for all Valencians."
Another added: "These things only happen in England."
Paella is a rice dish from the Valencia region of Spain, usually served with meats, seafood and vegetables.
The paella sandwich was created ten years ago for a newspaper stunt, but it seems the Spanish have never forgotten the perceived attack.
