Tesco has put a Scotch egg inside a pasty
People love Scotch eggs. People also love meat pasties. So when Tesco blended the two together in an experimental Scotch-egg-come-pasty extravaganza and posted it on Twitter, it was probably waiting to sit back and lap up universal applause form appreciative customers.
Fed up of eating pasties and scotch eggs separately? Do you dream of a better way? We do. http://t.co/J6LBgJz98ppic.twitter.com/l3D0BsaGat

However, Twitter's reaction was quite the contrary. Rather than applauding the invention, people got very, very angry.
Some were furious.
@Tesco this is an abomination

That is neither a pasty nor a scotch egg. Terrible! @jo_culley1https://t.co/Y0VDJRYS8q

Some just didn't appreciate the fusion of two perfectly good snacks. It's just not natural.
