Controversial claims have been made that the humble pizza crunch wasn't invented in Glasgow and was instead 'nicked' from East Kilbride.
The deep-fried delicacy, loved by thousands of Glaswegians, is as tied to the city's gastronomic identity as Irn Bru, Chicken Tikka Masala and Tennent's Lager.
But Blantyre based business Absolut Valeting is risking causing a stooshie by claiming on social media that our chippies stole it.
They tweeted: "This isn't a Glasgow delicacy. Glasgow took YEARS!!! YEARS!!! To adopt this from East Kilbride. YEARS!!!
It's not the first time they've made such a bold statement, with the valet company tweeting back in 2019: "The ‘Pizza Crunch’ was invented in East Kilbride circa 1993. Over the years the deep fried delicacy has amassed increasing popularity and can now be enjoyed through Central Scotland".
Although someone responded to them saying that the delicacy was "the staple diet of many schoolkids" in Wishaw back in 1987, thus disproving their claim.
We think they might on the wind up.
Anyone able to confirm where it actually came from and settle the debate?
