<B>UK regulator: Dragon Sausages MUST contain dragon!</B>

Liz sez, "A bit of over-literalism from the UK Trading Standards people. Welsh Dragon Sausages have had to be renamed Welsh Dragon Pork Sausages, in case anyone buys them expecting them to be full of juicy dragon meat."
</A><BLOCKQUOTE>
<A name="031231">Jon Carthew, 45, who makes the sausages, said yesterday that he had not received any complaints about the absence of real dragon meat. He said: “I don’t think any of our customers believe that we use dragon meat in our sausages. We use the word because the dragon is synonymous with Wales.”
