    they can’t force you to make food a specific way, right?

    I see you’re not very familiar with the eu. They can and they do, if you want to call it some specific name they force you to do it in some specific way, or to source the ingredients or even make it in a specific place. It does make sense, in a way, but it also can get to ridiculous points some times.

      if you want to call it some specific name

      Yeah, that’s what I thought - they can regulate what you’re allowed to call it based on how you make it.

      But they can’t ban all veal rotisserie, or outlaw cutting meat thicker than 5mm. Right?

      The sparkling wine industry wasn’t crippled by not being called champagne and I don’t see how the german kebab industry would be crippled by not being called doner unless it was prepared in the doner style.
