Welsh Dragon Sausages


OK, did you see the title and think "oh good, always wanted sausages made of dragon meat"? Did you wonder how they go about catching the dragons to turn into sausages? Did you think that it was a good idea but you'd prefer english dragon sausages? I suspect none of those. Because I also suspect that you guessed that this was a brand name. But not the trading standards people. Oh no, they are worried that people may be confused, that they may buy them thinking that they contain dragon meat. So the manufacturers have to rename the sausage to avoid confusion. In an attempt to make the ruling seem more appropriate the trading standards appear to now be taking another line, which is that without "pork" or "beef" in the name then vegetarians may be fooled into mistakenly eating the sausages. Oh yes, and last time I checked dragons were definitely associated with all things vegetarian!
