AnglianRed 7,882 18.1k Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Champagne, Brussels Sprouts, Stilton & Cheddar cheeses, Melton Mowbray Pork Pies...all these foods enjoy Protected Designation of Origin status, meaning their names cannot be used if they are produced elsewhere. Now a campaign is underway to give one of the North East's favourite dishes the same status. http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/15535578.Protected_status_for_the_parmo__Tees_Valley_mayor_visits_parmesan_factory_to_launch_crusade/ So presumably it'll just have to be called "Deep fried chicken with melted cheese topping" if made anywhere else? :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question regarding protected status though, is why? Who on earth outside of Teesside would want to market it, other than Teesside ex-pats, possibly?
