Branding, intellectual property, are important but…the most important thing to protect is taste. In this regard the US is so far off the mark (and so chemically manufactured) as to cheapen the expensive and flavorful foods Europe continues to produce. When I was in Barcelona, the quality of the sausages and charcuterie was so far and above anything produced in America. It would be a real shame if they shared the same name. One place where this becomes very difficult in particular is when ordering the Gouda cheese—where Gouda from Gouda is great and the rest is NOT. Go EU! Go taste!
