# oh
they've just ruled that only ham made and sliced and packaged in Parma can be called 'Parma ham'. I actually approve of that. Champagne comes from Champagne, Parma ham comes from Parma, frankfurters come from Frankfurt and Maltesers come from Malta.

It's just the way things are.

# But but but
If the cheese is produced there, sent over here and then grated in Croydon, it's no longer parmesan cheese?
