Yes its the same but i think the word Parma is protected now because it has to made in that region like many other things but strangely not Yorkshire puddings

Or indeed Bakewell tarts or Bath buns for that matter.

Of course, it's also the case that in order to qualify for protection the foodstuff concerned must possess some qualities or characteristics that are derived from the geography of the area concerned (or some similar legalese). I think it would be difficult to construct an argument that a mixture of flour, egg, and milk, prepared and cooked in an oven in Yorkshire is somehow different from one prepared and cooked in an oven anywhere else in the world.

With it being called black forest I wondered weather it had blood in (because it sounds like black pudding) :rotfl: I know im stupid, but I just want to make sure.

The Black refers to the region of "Schwarzwald" (black forest) where it is produced.

Enjoying a cup of that coffee right now. Very impressed for the price, i usually buy lavazza but i would certainly switch to this.

Black Forest ham is essentially smoked parma ham.

as above mentions its a german product rather than Italian.
