If you lived in a farmhouse in Bordeaux and made a cheddar, could you call it West Country Farmhouse Cheddar? Does it matter which country you are in?

I kind of think that Jamie knew he was tapping into the Jamaican Jerk cooking though, which is a style of cooking. Don't you?
It sounds like he's just misused the word.
Isn't that just called 'Geordie'?
My God! You've just struck gold.
The entire West Indian archipelago has culturally appropriated the North East of England.
Newcastle City Council should demand damages.
I don't think 'white reggae' was something that Sting marketed. It was just another label that the music press were searching for at the time. And anyhow, it was Andy Summers who would have been responsible for those lead guitar riffs, so he should give up his cash.
However, you could say that...
Cultural appropriation is getting so over-used.
This is just a crap product and basically break trading standards.
It's like selling curried chicken and opening the packet to discover lemon sole.
It's not cultural appropriation, it's cultural assassination.
