Smacks of lots of people with way too much time on their hands. I'm pretty sure I can make the call on olive oil without the "protection" of the EU ...

Hopefully this should put an end to the veritable slaughter that is olive oil poisoning across our glorious continent...

It'll be cruets next.

Forget the EU economy, they are focussing on what people urgently need to protect themselves.......

I wonder if it is something to do with this, ever though it was 30 years ago.

Only the UK.

Every other country will see sense and ignore it.

About time we (UK government) grew a pair and told them what to do. Cannot see the Italians playing ball here.

There's balsamic and then there's traditional balsamic.

Bog standard is very runny, slightly thicker than normal wine vinegar.

Traditional balsamic is syrup like, and 5 times the price.

I like my balsamic.
