7·29 days agoI read that as “if they’re on Band Camp”.
32·29 days agoHow the hell do I know if these shredded soy pieces, extra salt, or pink broccoli smoky tempeh taste like bacon?
Easy. They don’t.
In the end it’s a legal document and the terms are defined for the purpose of the regulation, not necessarily how the terms are used in daily life.
Well now blood sausage is not a sausage too despite being almost entirely animal product
The EU document specifically mentions that blood based products counts as meat, so blood sausage is fine.
6·29 days agoHistorically? Many.
Recently. No.
Something similar did actually happen, though:
This not only affects vegetarian food, but also salmon steak for example.
Where are you getting this from? In the document you linked they define meat as “edible parts of the animals” and I can’t find any wording in here that would exclude fish from being meat.
Yeah, think it’s quite silly that the EU is wasting time on this, but here we are.
In the end it’s more about labeling than language anyway. No one is banned from calling anything they want to a “burger”. You can’t just put it in the label when you want to sell it, and I think that is fair enough.
In Danish it’s definitely a shape, so… Which underlines the fact that this sort of legislation is pretty ridiculous in a multilingual society like the EU.
I’ll be up to each country to implement the rules so everyone can account for their own language.
Please also remember, as per Saussure, that for the language user only the present exists. Etynologies are curious facts at best and doesn’t necessarily mean anything for current usage.
I see where you’re coming from, but I think that is quite sad. That actually gives some credibility to the argument that the names of traditional foods should to be protected to some degree.
It’s not a shape, it’s always been a meat product. It comes from the Latin salsicus which means “seasoned with salt”.
But margarine literally isn’t butter? I’ve never heard anyone complain about that. If anything, the opposite. Don’t hand someone margarine when they asked for butter.

Also, how do you buy alcohol/tobacco in the UK? I’d assume you already need some sort if ID for that anyway.
Seems like you’re just trying to manufacturer a problem.
Hallo, Steuerprüfer? Dieser Kommentar hier.
2·30 days agoThat humans are destructive, by nature. So the universe will be more balanced without us in it.
Not only is this not a fact, it doesn’t even make sense. What “balance” are you talking about? The universe isn’t tipping over.
Also have you seen the rest of nature? We have nothing on the destructive power of natural disasters and even all of our nuclear bombs would be just a fart compared to some of the destructive forces in space.
19·30 days agoIch seh schon die ersten Leute die jetzt AfD wählen nur um die CDU los zu werden.
When this is the standard for journalism that is promoted by the mods here then it’s time leave this one.
