A SPICY sausage known as the Welsh Dragon will have to be renamed after trading standards’ officers warned manufacturers that they could face prosecution because it does not contain dragon.
The sausages will now have to be labelled Welsh Dragon Pork Sausages to avoid any confusion among customers.

Jon Carthew, 45, who makes the sausages, said yesterday that he had not received any complaints about the absence of real dragon meat. He said: “I don’t think any of our customers believe that we use dragon meat in our sausages. We use the word because the dragon is synonymous with Wales.”

His company, the Black Mountains Smokery at Crickhowell, in Powys, turns out 200,000 sausages a year, including the Welsh Dragon, which is made with chilli, leek and pork. A Powys County Council spokesman said: “The product was not sufficiently precise to inform a purchaser of the true nature of the food.”



I don't think I really need to say anything, this is pretty self explanitory.

This story made the NPR news quiz "Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me!" this week.

Totally unbelievable. Does that town council think dragons really exist? Or do they think the sausage-eating public is that stupid?

Do you suppose they'll require a change to "Buffalo wings" too?

I'm just surprised this was in Wales. It sounds like something that would happen in California!

Wouldn't matter in California; there aren't as many dragons there.

oh, this is just bureaucracy and trading standards or whatever it is gone completely mad. just because something is part of the name it's not necessarily part of the product. there are just too many examples to quote here. in all honesty, i'm more surprised a local council came up with that, because usually guidelines of that kind usually come from the EU (e.g. how curved can a standard cucumber be). Dragon meat. it's unbelievable. I don't know what to say.

Well if that's true, then what have they been using to make Lady Fingers with all this time?

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Hate to break it to you FMF, but there is NO dog in hot dogs.

For the record there is no French people in French Fries of French Toast. Vienna Sausages were not made in Vienna. Hamburgers contain no ham. Key Lime Pie contains no keys.

The list goes on and on.

This "news" story is a sad sign of the times.
