    Ps, this gave me an idea for possible vegetarian branding: names like “not a burger” seem to still be allowed, so a line of foodstuffs called “not a sausage” etc might be fun.

    That’s definitely gonna happen, there’s already a plant drink brand named “this is not m*lk” (including the censoring) in Germany, as here a similar ban is already in effect for the word “milk” to exclude soy milk / oat milk / …

      They should just change one or two letters or make them phonetically similar. Such as borgir, sossich, wurzt and stek.

        In Germany I’ve seen some vegan restaurants replace some letter with “v” for vegan.

        Like “vurst” instead of “wurst” (sausage) or “vleish” instead of “fleish” (meat).

      Which is really funny because soy milk, oat milk, and almond milk have existed as such for literally hundreds of years. And etymologically cow’s milk actually takes its name from those, not the other way around.

        Source? That seems unlikely
