Telling porkies: German MP attacks vegetarian products with meaty names | World news | The Guardian: "Germany’s agriculture minister has called for a ban on names such as “vegetarian schnitzel” for meat-substitute products, which he said were misleading consumers.
Among the “wurst” offenders is “vegan curry sausage”, a meat-free version of a heavily spiced pork dish born of post-second world war necessity and now considered a delicacy in Berlin — though largely unknown outside Germany.
“These terms are completely misleading and unsettle consumers,” Christian Schmidt told Germany’s Bild daily.
“I favour them being banned in the interest of clear consumer labelling.
“I do not want us to pretend that these pseudo-meat dishes are meat dishes.”"
