List of traditional specialities guaranteed by country

This is a list of traditional specialties guaranteed by country. Traditional specialities guaranteed (TSGs, singular traditional speciality guaranteed) are traditional food products protected under EU and/or UK law. This label differs from the geographical indications protected designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographical indication (PGI) in that the TSG quality scheme does not certify that the protected food product has a link to a specific geographical area, and thus a TSG product can be produced outside the area or country from which it originates. To qualify for the TSG label, a food product must be of "specific character" and its raw materials, production method, or processing must be "traditional".

All EU TSG registered before 1 January 2021 are also valid in the UK. The EU publishes its designations in the TSG database,^[1] and the UK in its TSG register.^[2] As of 28 February 2024, 58 names were registered under UK law^[2] and 66 under EU law.^[1]

Karjalanpiirakka	EU/UK	Karjalanpiirakka (lit. tr.: Karelian pasties), are traditional pasties or pirogs originating from the region of Karelia. They are eaten throughout Finland as well as in adjacent areas such as Estonia and northern Russia.

The common fillings were barley and talkkuna. In the 19th century, first potato and buckwheat were introduced as fillings, and later also rice and millet. Today, the most familiar and common version has a thin rye crust with a filling of rice. Mashed potato and rice-and-carrot fillings are also commonly available. Butter, often mixed with chopped-up boiled egg (egg butter or munavoi), is spread over the hot pasties before eating.[22]	a Karjalanpiirakka

Traditionally the beer is flavored with juniper in addition to, or instead of, hops;[24] the mash is filtered through juniper twigs into a trough-shaped tun, called a kuurna in Finnish. Sahti is top-fermented and many have a banana flavor due to isoamyl acetate from the use of baking yeast, although ale yeast may also be used in fermenting. The end product is a cloudy beer with phenolic flavors and a distinct taste similar to banana, balanced by the bitterness from the juniper branches. The carbonation level tends to be very low. Sahti was traditionally brewed as a farmhouse ale,[25] but commercial versions are now available. Commercial sahti is usually 8% ABV. In Finland, due to the higher percentage of alcohol in sahti, it is only sold in commercial sahti breweries, pubs or state-owned Alko stores, not in regular markets or grocery stores. Sahti has to be stored cold until consumption and is therefore not available in all Alko branches.[26]	A bottle of Sahti
