Newmarket sausages win EU award
Newmarket sausages win EU award | Travel | The Guardian
So the Newmarket sausage (which I for one had never heard of before) now has protected geographical indication (PGI) status. And the Lincolnshire sausage doesn't.
"But not all British bangers have enjoyed such success. An application to give the Lincolnshire sausage special protection was turned down by the government earlier this year because there were already "too many variations" across the UK.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs found there was no enduring link between the product and the county, stating that they had been made elsewhere for more than 20 years. An appeal failed last month."
