The price of fame for the farmers of Vidalia, Georgia, is that squat, tasty, sweet onions are called "Vidalias" by local grocers in my state even if they are grown in Washington, not Georgia.

Um....I think there might be a law against that. How can you call an Onion a Vidalia if it is not grown in Vidalia? Remember, it's not just the onion species. The taste of the Vidalia is strongly determined by the soil it is grown in.

Um....I think there might be a law against that.

Well, citizen PJ, you have no choice but to notify the onion police immediately. Get on it.

Um....I think there might be a law against that. How can you call an Onion a Vidalia if it is not grown in Vidalia?
