Think this must be a joke!
Yorkshire pudding makers are planning a bid for the Sunday roast favourite to be given the same protected food status held by Parma ham and champagne. The batter puddings could win European rights, meaning they must be made within Yorkshire if they are to be labelled as such.
Yorkshire firms Roberts, Aunt Bessie's and the Real Yorkshire Pudding Company are in talks about submitting a bid.
They are being backed by the Regional Food Group for Yorkshire and Humber.
An award of European protected name status would stop rivals from outside the region cashing in on the famous name.
Cornish clotted cream, Whitstable oysters and Stilton cheese are among British foods with protected status.
Obviously Yorkshire pudding tastes better when it's made by a Yorkshireman. It's all in the wrists I think |
