Free the breadmakers

Nope.

Stuff like this always bugged me. Probably because of my experience with the Quebec language laws.

"Bootleg margarine."

[Drake Tungsten]

KH is exactly right, as usual.

[Victor Galis]

Bah! The supply of good bread should be protected at all costs.

[Lord Avalon]

Yes, now what about the circuses?

[Zkribbler]

All that's going on is an insistance upon non-misleading labelling.

If you want to make bread off-site and/or using machinery, you just need to use some other label.

How 'bout: "Freedom bread?" or "bread d'Industrial?" or "Yankee bread?" or "Wonderbread?"

won't that lead consumers to believe that the ingredients differ?

[Zkribbler]

That's why I used the disjunctive rather than conjunctive.

Wonder bread certainly won't have the same ingredients!

Actually, arrogance, smugness and insufferable moral superiority seems to be a trait mostly found among Canadians

Yup, that's extremely simple. Instead of writing Boulangerie on your front, you just write the name of your shop (and you arrange a shopping window so that passerbys know it's about bread). And you register yourself as a "bread supply" in the yellow pages. Tada! Anybody looking for bread will see your shop, and if they aren't bother by industrial bread, they'll buy yours.

How ****ing retarded is this?

Not only have you decided what "boulangerie" means according to some Frenchy pseudo-cultured sense, but you've also decided to enforce your view in law.

I don't know about you, but I'd be perfectly happy to have an electronics store call itself a boulangerie.

I guess if you can't face the modern world it's always possible to close your eyes and claim the cultural high ground.

And I'd be perfectly happy to sell a brownish beverage and call it Coca-Cola. However, that name has a reputation (that costed millions upon millions to build over the years), and I just can't do it like that.
