I’ve read the claim that these terms “confuse customers”, but has that really happened more than a small handful of times? Do people really buy the clearly named “vegan burger”, go home and only then realize that it was not what they wanted? It seems absurd to think that customers are making these mistakes. I don’t even recall ever having seen one of those products not making it clear that they are vegetarian or vegan, that’s always their selling point.
Plus, it is highly convenient to name these products after what they are meant to replace and which form they share.
This seems like a pointless attack against vegetarian/vegan alternatives, which is unfortunate given that we’d probably want more people to eat (or at least consider eating) those rather than less.

Good luck with that. Grill is a type of cooking not a specific cutt of meat.
Will they ban grilled cheese?

Of course, that’s not these English words that will be banned, since it’s in France. The French word is “grillade”. This word is used to define any meaty product that you’ll cook on a barbecue. Sausages, skewers, etc.

le grille? what the hell is that?

Sounds like they’ve already banned referring to grilled zucchini as such.

The fact that cheese is mainly a product derivative of milk probably protects its name.

I don’t think that is relevant in this case - the article is about Vegetarian food, not Vegan. Vegans are the ones against dairy.

Nope, that ain’t vegan so no ban

If you ordered grilled cheese in English and your waiter was also a fucking jaw dragging troglodyte they’d bring out a plate of melted cheese as well.
Everyone else will assume you abbreviated a grilled cheese sandwich

Fine, but in this case we’re talking about France.
quindraco@lemm.ee 1 year ago
You can grill grilled cheese.
