A spicy [tag]sausage[/tag] known as the [tag]Welsh Dragon[/tag] will have to be renamed after trading standards’ officers warned the manufacturers that they could face prosecution because it does not contain [tag]dragon[/tag].
The sausages will now have to be labelled [tag]Welsh Dragon Pork Sausages[/tag] to avoid any confusion among customers.
Jon Carthew, 45, who makes the sausages, said yesterday that he had not received any complaints about the absence of real [tag]dragon meat[/tag]. 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 [tag]Wales[/tag].”
His company, the [tag]Black Mountains Smokery[/tag] at Crickhowell, in Powys, turns out 200,000 sausages a year, including the Welsh Dragon, which is made with chili, leek 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.”
Come on….
