Stilton is on a distinguished road
Kylotan:
I never claimed otherwise. It does have to actually be parody, though. (and even bypassing copyright claims wouldn't necessarily get you around all of the legal obstacles.

It's clear that you're using someone else's IP to boost your own product. That may be ok if it's actually parody, but as far as I can see it isn't.

An abattoir is basically a killing ground (slaughterhouse, often used figuratively). From your capitalization of the word, I assume you've used it as the proper name of a geographical location. You're using the phrase in the same way Tolkien did, not mocking it.
