Beyond The Barrio: The British Love Their Bangers And Mash, Continue To Be Adorable

God, the Brits! Aunt Bessie’s (of course), purveyor of the “Mash Cone,” a mash potato, sausage, and pea concoction built like an ice cream sundae, were upset by a negative write-up they received on the Metro’s blog. This tea tastes like tears. And whiskey. The good news, however, is that the Metro has since run an apology:

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.

Metro bloggers spent the remainder of the day being chased by constables and disappearing behind red telephone booths.
