Meat Product Names for Vegetarian Products

[Svartalf]

here the official word for soy, almond etc 'milks' is 'water' of whatever, I expect it to be more strictly enforced

[Scot Dutchy]

The vegans will be happy as they dont have to use the word milk.

Today's court ruling

Purely plant-based products cannot, in principle, be market ed with designations such as ‘milk’, ‘cream’, ‘butter’, ‘cheese’ or ‘yoghurt’, which are reserved by EU law for animal products.

So, no more coconut milk? And what about peanut butter?

These are in the list of exceptions:

[NineBerry]

I guess that coconut milk will get gradfathered as an exception, but expect peanut butter to be renamed 'peanut paste' or the like.

We call it pindakaas (peanut cheese). It will be called peanut spread. You have so many different milks.

It won't. It's part of the exception. See above.

[Scot Dutchy]

Learnt something from that list. Hoofdkaas. Never heard of it. Made from pig's head. All the rest I knew and have eaten. It wont affect many products though.

I have eaten it as it has another well known name to me; zult.

[Brian Peacock]

What about olive paté?

[Svartalf]

if there's real pâté around the olives, then it stays, or it becomes olive paste or tapenade

We call it head cheese here, I like it.

A direct translation then.

[Svartalf]

yeah, but what's the original? we have fromage de tête here too.

I think pork eating is really a Germanic thing. You lot are more sheep and fowl bunch. The British being big on beef.

[Svartalf]

Mutton is festive meat, pork is much more common, and veal/beef and poultry are very common

[laklak]

Almost impossible to find mutton here, and lamb is expensive as hell. The cattle barons pretty much did in sheep production here back in the 1800s.

[Scot Dutchy]

We never see mutton. In real butchers of which there are very few. We dont have any in my district (wijk). You do get a choice of lamb. The cheapest meat is pork. The organic supermarket in town sells lamb from the Wadden Islands on the north of the country but is very expensive. We have plenty of beef and game which is often on offer. Before the 60's there was little pork but now with the highly intensive pig houses it is very cheap and plenty of organic.
