This is just Hilarious and I don't loose the chance to related... why not !!??
Wile some country's still making wars and the Euro come to destroy the life of many people in some country's , we have the EU (European Union) making Important
decisions about... PIES !
Pork pie protected by EU law
The Melton Mowbray pork pie will now be protected by European law.
The decision by the European Commission to grant Protected Geographical Indicator (PGI) status means only pork pies made in the traditional manner and in and around Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire will be allowed to use the town's name.
It comes after a 10-year-campaign lead by local county councillor Matthew O'Callaghan.
Cllr O'Callaghan, chairman of the Melton Mowbray Pork Pie Association, said: "Friday was the final deadline for the other countries to object to Melton Mowbray getting protected status.
"We heard ... that no objections had been lodged.
"It has been a long campaign and it has inspired others. You now have Cumberland Sausage and Jersey Butter following what we did."
Cllr O'Callaghan, who is vegetarian, said the campaign had increased the profile of the pies and seen sales rise. He said: "The Melton Mowbray market is worth £50million a year. That is a lot of pies.
"There are three things that make them distinctive, firstly the meat is grey because we use fresh pork. Secondly, they are bow-shaped rather than straight sided and this goes back to when they were made at home by farmhands rather than professional bakers. Bakers use hoops that make pies circular and straight sided.
"And thirdly, of course, they are made in the Melton Mowbray area."
The decision will now be published by the European Commission in its official journal and will then become law.
