observer Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Seems the Yanks want to export "Cornish" pasties to the UK, as well as Cumberland Sausage . They've even won a first prize at the Annual Cornish Pasty fest, with a pasty that includes pineapple. Should we guard our dishes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Is it any better than the original with the addition of pineaaple? Does their Cumberland sausage have more/better meat content than the original? If their product is better why don't they produce their own names for them?

observer Posted March 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Think they're after the "iconic" names Asp, such as "Scotch" whiskey. Noticed the Italians recently got recognition for the Neapolitan Pitza ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy51 Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Aren't names descriptive already protected for certain products such as Cornish pasties ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted March 5, 2018 Report Share Posted March 5, 2018 Probably an EU thing Davy, as a French requrement, you know fizzy wine otherwise known as champagne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Sid Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 they could get round it easily enough if they called them "Cornish style" pasties. as original pasties were made with a savoury at one end and a sweet at the other then the addition of pineapple could be said to be more original than the cornish pasties we are used to today which are just fancy looking potato and meat pies.

observer Posted March 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 When you think about it, there's a wealth of possibilities for "patents"; Yorkshire ? Pudding; Lancashire? Hot Pot; Irish? Stew; Pontefract Cake ? Blackpool Rock ? Might come in handy if we move into a period of protectionism ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
