Squash that bureaucrat twerp!
A food company has been warned it could face legal action over the name of its Welsh Dragon Sausages.
Trading standards said Black Mountains Smokery in Powys must also include the type of meat used in the sausages - pork - to meet labelling regulations.
The boss of the firm in Crickhowell said pork was listed on the label and called it “bureaucracy gone mad”.
Jon Carthew said: “I don’t think any of our customers actually believe that we use dragon meat in our sausages.
“We use the word because the dragon is synonymous with Wales and I think everyone who buys from us knows that.”
A spokesman for Powys Council said: “The product Welsh Dragon Sausage was not sufficiently precise to inform a purchaser of the true nature of the food.
“I don’t think anyone would imagine that dragon meat was being used but we would not want vegetarians to buy the sausages believing they were meat free.
Give me a break!
