Silly sausage?

The IPKat has learnt from the News & Star that the Cumberland Sausage Association is mounting an expedition to Turin to participate in the Salone del Gusto food festival. The aim is to promote the associaiton’s campaign to gain protected geographical indication status for the Cumberland sauage.

The IPKat isn’t convinced. Cumberland is currently used to describe a particular type of sausage, rather than geographical origin. To limit it to Cumbrian producers would be to seek to turn back the clock.
