‘Appen ‘eck as like you’ll want to check t’ rhubarb in your cupboard ent illegal.

Just when you thought that the EU was a useless, undemocratic, tyrannical gravy train, it does something like this and you just don’t know what to think.

Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb is now on a par with Parma Ham and Champagne on the European Protected Name List!

Good grief.

My first reaction on seeing that earlier today was to check the date.

I have to assume that the market is considerably smaller than for parma ham.
