This very scenario was reported this week (June, 2021): "UK-EU 'sausage war' talks yield threats, not progress." Unbelievably prescient. When it reported the news, the BBC had to announce that it wasn't a "plot line from Yes Minister." But it sort of was.
@@nedludd7622 Amazing how much of that show's plots are still in the news more than 30 years later--Brexit, immigration, health care, NATO, lack of women in leadership roles. We don't seem to have solved any problems since--I don't know--1945? YM and YPM are timeless and probably didn't intend to be.
@@chubeye1187 unfortunately you sticking your head in the ground doesn’t change the fact that the EU did and does not only force changes such as these; it requires member nations to legislate. Funny given it’s not a country - people like you keep saying.
Very recently (2023) there was a spat over the correct labelling of jam over jelly. The EU said it's only jam if it contains a sufficient amount of real fruit.
One of those comedies that always made me laugh! Yes Minister was one for the books, I would love it if, the BBC made available to the foreign market those shows that cannot be seen anywhere else. Yes Minister, Waiting for God, and other great comedies like Red Dwarf. We don't get great comedies here in the States, they're just pap commercial laden shows that don't make me laugh and lack any sense of humor. Please BBC, get off the pot and start offering those show to us!
Starting 2021, the UK will not be able to export the following goods to the EU: chilled minced meat (red meat), chilled meat preparations (for example, raw sausages), minced meat (poultry), poultry and ratite or game bird mechanically separated meat, raw milk from TB herds, ungraded eggs, composite products containing dairy products made from unpasteurised milk (for example, a ready meal topped with unpasteurised cheese).
What amazing script! so funny - just trying to imagine the machines that mechanically strips meat off the carcass for the British offal tube (sausage).
Hi this is 2021 calling, from the 1st of January the export of raw UK sausages to the EU is no longer allowed... So close, but meat content was not the problem.
As we are no longer in the eu, single market or customs union we must abide by their rules and regulations. As long as we avoided those nasty EU anti money laundering laws that came into effect on 3rd june. Can't have Brussels looking into our offshore bank accounts, can we?
England: 2 world wars and 1 world cup and emulsified high-fat offal tubes. Germany: 4 world cups, BMWs and bigger, meatier, delicious saussages. You decide!
One of many reasons, others include control of our military, borders, legislature, waters, right to trade with whoever we wanted, and taking back the wasted £10bn a year, we give the EU about 20bn a year and they "give us back" 10bn. With regards to the issue in the video, I used to love Traditional Lemonade, then I noticed one day (about 15-20 years ago) that no-where was selling it any more, the supermarkets did not have it, a corner shop I oftern picked up a can from, on the way home from work no longer had it, after a few weeks I asked the shop keeper what had happened, he told me the EU had banned calling it "traditional", it had been renamed Cloudy Lemonade, they were still selling it but now under the new name. there was something simular arround the same time with Chocolate, fortunately we beat that one, and also things like chedder cheese not being allowed to be called chedder unless it was made in Chedder, and cornish pasties could only be called cornish if made in Cornwell, and numerous other things which we managed to avoid. This was made about 10-20 years before any of those incidents, so there must have been some other inciting incident.
@@terryforsdyke306 8 months on, it’s not looking too rosy, is it? These two were lucky they never had to contend with the chlorinated chicken coming our way.
When I tried English sausage, i though:- Who lost his shoe in my plate? English sausage is a waste of ingredients. It's an insult of meat industry. And absolute evil Say no to drugs, weapons and English sausages. And stay from British beer, which is basically liquid soap. All British beer is soap. Cider good, beer is bad.

I just recently saw this and was going to respond.

Emulsified high-fat offal tube. Best line ever.
I remember how at a conference in Cambridge there was a sausage tray with an "EHFOT" card in front of it. Quite a few people actually got the joke.
They're offaly good!
Hacker gagging as he reads the details of the meat is such a great joke.
Now reality due to the conversion between Johnson and Macron at the G7 about british sausages, I‘m just laughing tears!
Actually this is based on an attempt by the french to rename british choclates for not containing enough coco butter.
Actually no, this is what we did to American "chocolate" we aren't allowed to legally call it chocolate in the EU.
Actually it just shows how the right wing papers conned the people. Like that was ever going to be a thing. Did you fall for brexit?

@@chubeye1187yes comrade.

This is based on the old saying about government - the two things you never want the public to see you making are policy and sausages.
Very true.
I know it's terribly juvenile of me, but I can't help laughing at the line, "What have they got against our sausage?"
You know Yes Minister will always be a classic..... 👏👏👏
No laughing matter! Rumor is there are plenty of ladies in Brussels that specialize in managing sausage.
Somehow "emulsified high-fat offal tube" doesn't sound all that appetizing...
I reckon it doesn't sound appetizing as much as it isn't, regarding what may be found in it....
Just the thing you want to wake up to for breakfast: eggs, bacon, black pudding and emulsified high-fat offal tube.
Always wind up my missus every time she’s eating sausages by announcing ‘steamed off the carcass’ out loud 😆 😆
Thank you very much to Yes Minister for making me to Google a cyclostyle

The UK is a net importer from the EU and import 40% of our food so it's very unlikely it will make a difference
You cannot sell raw milk from TB herds in the UK, let alone export it.
@@andrewjones-productions Yes, that is what is says. You can't.
US is worse. Wonder if the EU buys any food from the US.
What amazing script! so funny - just trying to imagine the machines that mechanically strips meat off the carcass for the British offal tube (sausage).
Mechanically separated from the carcass means blasted off of the bones with steam wand, possibly but not necessarily done by a machine.
Nah, it's just sausage from roadkill.
What do you think is in your average fast food burger?
How dare those Eurocrats actually want us to buy sausages with meat in it
none of their business what's in our good old BRITISH sausage
Eurosausage, the name cracks me up!
For some reason I love Bernard's tie.
Life imitates art yet again.
yep
How Yes Minister predicted 2021.
#eurosausage
Its funny how everything this show predicted is happening.
Outstanding acting.
@Madpossum Of course.
Hi this is 2021 calling, from the 1st of January the export of raw UK sausages to the EU is no longer allowed... So close, but meat content was not the problem.
Enough with the mechanically recovered meat says the French!
It was unpasteurized ingredients, which is rediculous, raw milk is best
As we are no longer in the eu, single market or customs union we must abide by their rules and regulations. As long as we avoided those nasty EU anti money laundering laws that came into effect on 3rd june. Can't have Brussels looking into our offshore bank accounts, can we?
Sounds as bad as Australian sausage.
At least it's not as bad as vegemite, a most awful concoction.
England: 2 world wars and 1 world cup and emulsified high-fat offal tubes.
Germany: 4 world cups, BMWs and bigger, meatier, delicious saussages.
You decide!
How very dare you offend Cumberland and Lincolnshire in such a manner!
Hahaha
I think I might have an emulsified high-fat offal tube for dinner tonight when I get home
Wish I could be good as Bernard
The Eurosausage. Genius!
Don't you ever read the papers you give me? lol
What about the sausage now. 🍖🍔
According to Gordon Ramsay, Eurosausage might have been a good thing.
Tastes better!
Thanks to Brexit, you now can, once again, eat emulsified high-fat offal tubes. :)
Now it's the Brexit sausage
Life imitating art.
Need more horse in that sausage to be of European quality.
No to the Eurosausage-question would likely be the only Euroquestion Britain and Germany would agree on.
No?
What’s euro sausage meaning?
or swedish fermented herring
@ToddQuinlan i'd still eat it
Just shred the lot.
At least the British don't eat Norwegian dried cod.
At least Norway is not in the EU.
I think we do.
So that's why brexit.
1:29
Boris Johnson take note.
What the h@ll do they call Spam or Vienna sausages from the US? One shudders to think!
What the rest of us call it. Cheap rubbish.
salami isn't sausage
Is. So is butiffara.
Two trees
TEN PERCENT RUST
So this is why we are leaving the EU ? (5 minutes to go as I write this)
One of many reasons, others include control of our military, borders, legislature, waters, right to trade with whoever we wanted, and taking back the wasted £10bn a year, we give the EU about 20bn a year and they "give us back" 10bn.

there was something simular arround the same time with Chocolate, fortunately we beat that one, and also things like chedder cheese not being allowed to be called chedder unless it was made in Chedder, and cornish pasties could only be called cornish if made in Cornwell, and numerous other things which we managed to avoid.
This was made about 10-20 years before any of those incidents, so there must have been some other inciting incident.

@@nkt1 it is too early to say, lets discuss in January.
How'd it turn out?
@@terryforsdyke306 Yes, let's discuss.
So even people who have seen politics at work can't handle talking about sausage. Looks like Bismarck was wrong.
When I tried English sausage, i though:- Who lost his shoe in my plate?

Say no to drugs, weapons and English sausages.

Craziness like this is going to make me miss the EU.
Bananas to bendy, chocolate not chocolatey enough...
tractor seats....
the list goes on...

The bendy banana is myth propagated by Boris "lost every job due to lying" Johnson
Thank God I'm vegan! ROFL
alaswoeisme soy leading to cancer and effeminate males!
Brexit NOW
Bring back the British Sausage.
Down with the EU.
Bring back the British Sausage.
Bring home the Fish and Chips.
Vote UKIP and reclaim Britannia for the Britons.
Amazing though how 25-30 years ago Yes Minister had a crystal ball concerning the EU, long before BREXIT... LOL...
+Electric Johnny - But it COULD be 1817 again if we change enough policies.
And bring back the emulsified high-fat offal tube!
