EU to ban olive oil jugs from restaurant tables

EU to ban olive oil jugs from restaurant tables. “The use of classic, refillable glass jugs or glazed terracotta dipping bowls and the choice of a restaurateur to buy olive oil from a small artisan producer or family business will be outlawed.” Making everyone’s lives better by micromanaging them? Frankly, we doubt that was ever the goal.

  • Oil change, European style.....They'll be bringing their own oil in flasks...and the olive oil police will be everywhere....

  • "Please, may have some more government guidance in my decision making process?"

    Said no freedom loving individual ever.

  • I see their point-there are so many islamofascists in Europe now, it is pretty dangerous to leave one's house, let alone drink/eat something that is in the public domain of access.
    I won't even visit there-entire cities in Sweden are taken over by radical islamofascists, nevermind UK streets where 12 year old white girls are sold like so much chattel by the islamofascists-and when they are done with them-they kill em-grind em up and make sausage(NOT KIDDING).
    Listen, if I lived there-I would be a fucking hermit-=wait-no I wouldn't, I would have left a loooooooong time ago!

  • Large money tells corrupt gobs that if they want the large money to keep giving them more money, these little operators are going to have to stop interfering in the monopoly building. Enough with the disobedient little people already. The time for global control of everything has come. Get in line or die.

      • I see that jcrowley has now registered a second name here so he can give himself at least one "Thumbs Up" on each of his silly, shallow, tired comments.

        It's kind of like a turd going to Walgreen's and buying an enema.

  • NYC residents had better start hoarding olive oil, because as soon as Mayor Nannyberg catches wind of this they will be out of luck(and olive oil).
