Cornish Pasties, Devon Clotted Cream and some specie of fizzy wine called Champagne have now been joined by our magnificent Cumberland Sausage.
The 'Gauleiters of the Brussels Superstate' (© Daily Mail) have allowed the Cumberland Sausage to be afforded Protected Geographical Indication under EU law.
This means that when one has a Cumberland Sausage between one's chops one knows that this particular banger hasn't been all around the houses before finding a safe haven in a gourmets gob.
