How much truth is in it depends on the spin of the article, and I suspect it isn't as extreme as it suggest. However, what on earth is that council doing with tax money, wasting it on this kind on BS!!
What next, can't have pizza outside of italy? A burger is the preserve of the US? The logic is insane!

How is this any different to Melton Mowbray Pork Pies, Arbroath Smokies or (formerly) Newcastle Brown Ale?
Regions/producers can apply to the EU for Protected Geographic Indications to prevent producers outside the area from capitalising on the name. You can still make and eat it outside the region, you just can't use the name. A bit like supermarket own-brand being Cola rather than Coca-Cola.

a curry cooked in a large bucket for mass consumption (weddings, restraunts, construction sites etc..)is the origin of the dish that is called balti...How in the world are these nutters going to patent a curry cooked in a bucket? its just another PR stunt to get people saying the authentic balti dishes come from B'ham...and increase business.
