Like they did with Feta in greece years ago? because here in denmark, locally produced feta must be labeled "salad cheese" and not feta unless it comes directly from greece even though the product is almost exactly the same (greek tastes better though). pretty stupid IMO.
I guess I can see the point, though I don't agree in every case. Here in the US, the population was established by waves of immigration and I think that it's great that so many food ways have been imported into the country, though they've really only taken root in places with high concentrations of various ethnic or cultural populations. I'd be fine purchasing "American Feta", but honestly if a whole lot of names were to be changed at once, it would be really confusing.
