<Now she has been ordered to rename all her best-selling pastries simply "novelty cakes".>
It's really stupid, but I read after this report that she has now been allowed to keep the names, but must display a list of ingredients for each.
Don't know if the EU succeeded in their intentions to ban UK sausages being called sausages because there wasn't enough meat in them (in one TV comedy they were referred to as "emulsified high fat offal tubes"), or to rename UK chocolate 'vegelate' because of it's high milk content (don't see the logic in vegelate and milk unless it's because cows eat grass).
But it does make you wonder if even gingerbread men will be banned, firstly because there's no such thing as a gingerbread person - or is there??? and the 'men' bit - they could be boys or ladies in trousers.
Spotted dick was banned from one supermarket (Tesco I think) a year or so ago until customers tod them not to be so stupid. I don't mind 'spotted dick' being renamed - we used to call it 'Fly cemetery' when it was served for school dinners.
