Spanish police have warned their countrymen not to eat Tesco's paella sandwich on World Paella Day.
Tesco produced the paella sandwich as a limited edition item in the early 2010s, and is no longer available.
Spanish media only seemed to notice the existence of the sandwich about five years later, and roundly criticised it. The Guardia Civil has also long harboured disdain for the paella sandwich, which they described as "heresy" for some last year. "For others [it is] a violent attack on good taste and it could even threaten health. We are waiting for your formal complaints."Jamie Oliver was also criticised in 2016 for using chorizo in his paella recipe, which many in Spain considered an unwelcome addition.
One person told him on Twitter: "Come to Valencia to try the real paella and stop making 'rice with whatever'. Your dish is everything but paella."
