Just another example of how loony the EU really is.

I take it McDonalds will have to find a new name for Hamburgers now then?

Pizza Hut will have to become the chain formerly known as Pizza Hut.

French Fries will have to become Freedom Fries, oh wait that's been done.

It only applies to foods which have had their geographical names registered - like Stilton.

Start a boycott Greek cheese group, the Greeks may press the EU to change their ruling if it harms their cheese industry.

Hamburger originates in Hamburg doesn't it?

I don't care where it's made. Feta cheese is Feta cheese. By all means make people call it Yorkshire Feta, but to stop them using the name Feta at all is folly.

If the folks making foods want their product to continue to be local, they shouldn't give the recipe to outsiders. That easy.

Now, anyone know how to make a good Staffordshire oatcake?

I have bought feta cheese in Tesco's made from cow's milk. I wonder what they will do with this new ruling

Matt, time to get a pledge going again :shock:

Someone else can do it this time. I'll sign it though, if someone does do it.
