But not Melton Mowbray pork pies. Is that where this is going?

That's not why I put it up; just out of passing interest. I actually came across the list while doing a search for Orkney.

why single gloucester and not double gloucester?

[tovaglia.livejournal.com]

double gloucester ought to be twice as protected!!!

My guess is that DG was already made very widely, whereas SG was only made in the area; but I don't know.

I don't know why my brain jumbled up words that were so far apart, but when I saw this out of the corner of my eye, I read "Beacon traditional Lancashire Fell cheese." I like the idea of a fell cheese, sowing* doom and destruction across the whole realm of dairy products.

Of course, I'm of the opinion that any cheese with Green Bits in is pretty fell, anyway. ;-P

* Originally accidentally typed as "sewing doom and destruction", which is a whole new image. "With my cross-stitch, I will conquer you all, puny mortals!"

Mmm, green food colouring Derby ... ;-)

Mm! *mouth waters*

Though now I desperately want some proper British cheese. (It's not that the cheese round here isn't good; it's just not the same..._

I generally approve of the trend to specify where ingredients come from. A lot of our local restaurants go into a lot of detail on this.

However, you can go too far. I've just seen an advert for fish fingers that are apparently made with 'Lincolnshire breadcrumbs'!

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

Yes, I've seen that. I hadn't realised that Lincolnshire was noted for the quality of its breadcrumbs!
