Bring Back The Macaroni Pie! Pressure Builds On Greggs
A petition to save the macaroni pie from the shelves of Greggs the Baker has won the support of around 1,500 people and the hot topic has even reached the debating chamber of the Scottish Parliament.
The chain has decided to withdraw the pastry treat in favour of more Mediterranean and Asian flavours.
But Falkirk man, Paul Toller is so cheesed-off he's launched an online petition.
WIth the debate hitting news bulletins and the papers, Nicola Sturgeon raised the issue during First Minister's Questions in the Scottish Parliament.
She told MSPs, "I've got a confession to make, I am not a lover of the macaroni pie.
"However, my father is and I got a stern talking to on the telephone last night from my father who told me he expected me to join the campaign to save the macaroni pie".
A Greggs spokesperson said: “Our customers are at the heart of all we do, and ensuring our product range reflects their tastes and preferences really matters to us.
"We made the hard decision to stop selling macaroni pie based on dwindling sales – unfortunately over recent years it had become the smallest selling line from our savoury counters in Scotland.
“Making space on our shelves by removing the least popular products enables our customers to enjoy an even wider variety of new tasty options in our shops, alongside traditional favourites such as the iconic sausage roll or Scotch pie.”
