Food firms urge Europe not to ban calling non-meat products ‘sausages’ - Lemmy.zip

> More than a dozen food companies have urged the European Commission not to ban the use of words such as “sausage” and “burger” for non-meat products.

Listen, I’m not a vegan, but I find this names that are bent around the bush so annoying.

Yeah, I get it , it’s not literally milk. But calling it “almond milk” is waaay smoother than “almond drink” or “almond concoction” or whatever.

Same with Malzbier.

I have seen coconut milk sold as ‘coconut drink’, even though it is not used as drink. That is stupid.
In the case of coconut there’s both the milk and the water, and coconut drink is likely the water.
It was the milk, though.
So much for my hypothesis.
