Quirky Euro Files: the UK's Disgusting Ice Cream Cone

I just got this from the Sibling: an ice cream cone made of sausage, potatoes, gravy, and peas.

The caption to the photo declares, "Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible."

Even more amusing may be the follow-up story which purports to be an apology, stating:

Metro would like to apologise if our recent article, 'World's most disgusting ice cream', inadvertently gave the impression that the sausage, mash, peas and gravy ice-cream cone concoction featured in it was in some way unpleasant.

Furthermore, it was not our intention to convey any level of distaste or contempt for the new product, and we regret if any elements of the article - such as the picture caption 'Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible, Horrible, horrible, horrible, horrible' - suggested otherwise.

We would also like to thank the lovely makers of the mash cones, Aunt Bessie's, who turned up unexpectedly at our office today with a load of sausage and mash in an attempt to change our minds.

Hilarious! Of course, this does nothing at all to explode the stereotype that British food is generally....well, you know.
