I've always wondered

I don't know if it's changed but it used to be, that if it's packaged in that country, taen it can be legally called British beef or Irish et.
Which is why I think you know get things like the red tractor, which is a kind of farm set up scheme to show certain standards etc.
 
Well, the Paul Rankin branded ones do, they're manufactured in Ballymena. Northern Ireland maybe, but still over the Irish Sea.

Paul Rankin gets on my ****. Who in their right mind would brand food with the word "Rankin" given that in Ireland, "rankin" means "stinking".

Aye, Paul's 'sassajiz' are made in the north of Ireland as are his bread products which are made in Irwins in Portadown.
 
Is the name "Irish sausages" a geographical indication as defined by the TRIPs agreement i.e. of equivalent status to an "Arbroath Smokie" or is it merely describing a type or style of sausage? If it is a geographical indicator then it means the sausages should be made in Ireland otherwise it might be dubious marketing but they probably don't have to be made there. :)
 
Never mind mr rankins, anyone that lives in co. down should have now tried the multitude of different versions of sausage that Primacy Meats in Bangor (Co. Down) Their varieties are excellent, especially their old style chippy ones, huge big fat sausages that chip shops used to sell before they went skimpy.
