i.e. no one else talks about the Wiltshire Festival of Engineering and Manufacturing.

First rule of the Wiltshire Festival of Engineering and Manufacturing is we don't talk about the Wiltshire Festival of Engineering and Manufacturing.

Second rule of the Wiltshire Festival of Engineering and Manufacturing is we don't try to rake out that gurt yaller cheese in yonder pond.

But we British - excluding the Northern Irish - can carry on eating artificial smoke flavourings that the EU has banned for being unsafe. I'm not entirely sure that is a benefit.

It's not as much a bald lie as much of the EU disinformation a certain Mr ABdeP Johnson used put in the papers when he was a journalist. But it's not the whole story.

The EU has not banned smoke flavouring, it has only banned a certain class of artificial smoke flavourings. These are currently widely used. But alternatives are available, and likely to become more available. You will still be able to eat smoky bacon flavoured crisps in the EU, and indeed Northern Ireland. But it will have to be flavoured with a safer kind of smoke flavouring.
