Yorkshire pudding makers are pushing to have the renowned roast beef side-dish given "protected food" status in the European Union, similar to how Champagne and the Stilton cheese name are protected.
The bid for EU protection is being considered for Yorkshire firms Roberts, Aunt Bessie's and the Real Yorkshire Pudding Co. and has the backing of numerous chefs in the region, including Andrew Pern at the Star Inn in Harome, North Yorkshire, England.
A successful bid would mean that Yorkshire pudding made outside the region would have be called Yorkshire-style puddings. And it would likely boost the prices for puddings made in Yorkshire.
The bid for protection relies more on the heritage of the original recipe than the ingredients and where they are sourced.
