Spain's Guardia Civil accused supermarket Tesco of creating a health threat with a paella sandwich. The Guardia Civil force accused the British supermarket giant Tesco of creating a health hazard by using its nation's traditional rice dish as a sandwich filling.

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."




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.
