An apology to my Italian friends

Yes, I regret to say that it is part of Scottish culinary practice to bake macaroni in a pie.

And, yes, I am sorry to say that the decision by a fast food emporium to desist from selling this less than savoury amuse-bouche was greeted by a howl whimper of protest, to the extent that the matter was raised in parliament.

The only consolation in this sorry affair is that Greggs (for they are the business concerned) remain steadfast in their intention to banish the macaroni pie from their shelves.
