Strange but true . . .

A variety of English rhubarb joined the ranks of champagne and Parma ham by having its name legally protected, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs announced.
Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb was awarded Protected Designation of Origin status by an EU scheme which aims to protect regional and traditional foods throughout Europe.
It means only companies who produce the vegetable - in this case in the so-called "rhubarb triangle" between Bradford, Wakefield and Leeds - can use the name, guaranteeing the product is authentic and preventing imitation throughout Europe.
