Explanation

These foods have Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) or Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) status under EU law, which means they can only be produced in their specific geographical regions. Jersey Royal potatoes must come from Jersey, Arbroath smokies from Arbroath, Scotland, and Melton Mowbray pork pies from Melton Mowbray, England. They are not exclusively for royalty, are all made in Britain (but this is not their special status), and can certainly be eaten separately.
