    Whisky is a fantastic example of exactly what I’m talking about. Nobody has a regional claim preventing you making whisky wherever you want. Scotch whisky uses Scotch as an adjective telling you it’s the type of whisky made in Scotland.

    If the town of Parma didn’t want people calling their cheese parmesan, they shouldn’t have named it using their town name as the noun for the whole style of cheese.
