A SPICY sausage known as the Welsh Dragon will have to be renamed after trading standardsÂ’ officers warned the manufacturers that they could face prosecution because it does not contain dragon.
| Ummm... Could they prove it doesn't? |
The sausages will now have to be labelled Welsh Dragon Pork Sausages to avoid any confusion among customers.
| "Now! With more Dragon Pork!" |
Jon Carthew, 45, who makes the sausages, said yesterday that he had not received any complaints about the absence of real dragon meat.
| Too gamey for my taste... |
He said: “I don’t think any of our customers believe that we use dragon meat in our sausages. We use the word because the dragon is synonymous with Wales.”
| Betcha there's no whale meat in 'em, either. Wotta gyp! |
His company, the Black Mountains Smokery at Crickhowell, in Powys, turns out 200,000 sausages a year, including the Welsh Dragon, which is made with chili, leak and pork. A Powys County Council spokesman said: “The product was not sufficiently precise to inform a purchaser of the true nature of the food.” |
