Brussels sprouts are named after the fact that they were cultivated in Belgium in the 16th century

Not Yorkshire.

Sprouts cultivated in Brussels are Brussels sprouts, sprouts did not originate there. I dare say sprouts from Yorkshire or Leicestershire have a different character to sprouts from Brussels.Sussex pudding is a pudding in its own right.

You keep arguing against yourself.

Yes you can have Cheddar made in Paris or anywhere for that matter, it is not a protected name, Champers is a different story, but some other countries make wine branded as champagne

 

[JohnD]

some other countries make wine branded as champagne

But they are not allowed to sell it under that name in the EU.

Port wine, Sherry, Scotch Whisky, Cornish Pasties; Stilton cheese; Melton Mowbray Pork Pies, Rutland Bitter; Cornish Clotted Cream; also protected. Shetland Wool; Plymouth Gin. Jersey Royal Potatoes. The Brexers don't like EU standards so no doubt will throw all that away.

 

[crystal ball]

But they are not allowed to sell it under that name in the EU.

No they are not, Russia & USA are two that I know of

 

[JohnD]

Canada, in its recent EU trade deal, accepted EU standards on Geographic names.

I was surprised, in Australia, to be offered a Scotch Fillet steak that had never been north of the Equator.

At least it wasn't a meat pie or a sausage, revolting food when I was there

 

[transam]

But fries are not the same as chips!

Oh

Well call em some thing other than French

Many years ago my neighbour used to race pigeons

On a continental race many did not come back

Shot over France

In Australia? I rather liked the food in Sydney - quite fresh, though am veggie and didn't touch a meat pie .

 

[crystal ball]

Just as well, gristle in gravy wrapped in pastry, might be better now, certainly seafood was top notch, a dozen oysters for a few dollars
