    Back around 1990, there was much umbrage in Parliament (the governing body, not the legendary funk ensemble) when the EEC ruled that the contents of bangers didn't deserve the name "sausage." On the Brit comedy "Yes, Minister" an EEC commissioner suggested "Emulsified High-Fat Offal Tube". Brilliant!
