I think the rules should be even stricter. An Hamburger should only be made in Hamburg, otherwise it's a Minced Corpse Patty.

Listen, I'm not a vegan, but I find this names that are bent around the bush so annoying.

Yeah, I get it , it's not literally milk. But calling it "almond milk" is waaay smoother than "almond drink" or "almond concoction" or whatever.

Same with Malzbier.

I couldn't care less what you call them. You can call them vegetable dicks and I would still eat them. It's just a ridiculous waste of resources powered by the meat lobby who have seen a portion of their market share disappear.

I'm a happy meat eater and considering the number of different kinds of sausage with all different ingredients in different proportions and different textures and different herbs and spices and different skins and different sizes and different ways to prepare them I think this is absolutely ridiculous.

If tiny dried sausages with lamb and herbs in natural skin are just as much sausage as spiced up raw mince in a plastic skin are just as much sausage as precooked hot dogs with pork and salt but mostly potato filler in mysterious edible non natural skin, then a sausage with vegetable mash for filling is definitely a sausage as well.

I hate that a sausage comes from a "food company" instead of a butcher. (Or grocer for vegan sausage)

If it's ground up and tubed into a thin, edible casing skin, it's a sausage.

"Ground up dead body of an animal fisted into another animals anal canal"

I mean we can just call it what it is

Sooo. There's a word.

Clearly, this may be, or may not be a meat product. If they want to regulate something so so far, they must go all the way!

Sausages can be called "links". Burgers can be called "patties". The only people pissed about Soy Milk, Vegan Burgers and Veggie Sausages are the corporations who sell meat exclusively, and the people who don't read food packaging. Smart vegan & vegetarians know that you need to read the ingredients before you buy that product. I always make sure I go home with the right wiener.

The whole point of sausages existing is lack of meat

sausages are already pretty much non-meat products though, unless its actually well made sausage

That is so silly. I love pork sausage but veggie sausage is the next best one and clearly is sausage.

Same as "burger", it is a preparation not an ingredient.

es geht um die wurst

That's fucking stupid. Sausage can be anything ordinary sausage proves this.

Just call it Vurst and be happy.

Sausage can be whatever as the name corresponds to beinh heavily salted.

Remembering that person who bought a "soy chorizo" on accident because they read the label as a sentence.

desperate dinosaurs are scrambling to protect their investments in the torment of animals, who knew

"Minced corpse in colon + antibiotics"

Sure, a vegi sausage is still a sausage.

Same thing in Swiss; it's Oat Drink, can't be called Oat Milk. Guess the meat industry is strong in EU.
