To celebrate the Wearside culinary delight that is the pink slice, ALS have launched a T-shirt in honour of the popular sugary snack.

The Sunderland based publisher, who brought us The Mackem Dictionary, also house The Roker End Cafe from their base opposite the Stadium of Light where the pink slices go down a storm.

Paul Swinney, the author of The Mackem Dictionary, who often champions the pink slice and has published a recipe to make your own in Lockdown, said: “The pink slice has been close to the hearts of Wearsiders for generations. With this T-shirt you can now literally show it to the world.”
