Yorkshire rhubarb gets EU recognition
« on: February 26, 2010, 09:23:50 AM »

Rhubarb joins the ranks of fine foods...

Quote
Now the European Commission has awarded Yorkshire forced rhubarb Protected Designation of Origin status. It becomes the 41st product from Britain to acquire this exclusive label, and shares it with Cornish sardines, Melton Mowbray pork pies and Swaledale cheese.

I was quite taken with the idea that Yorkshire rhubarb now has the same status as champagne. So if a French person makes any derogatory remarks about British cuisine, we can now say "Rhubarb, rhubarb...". ;D
