Bakery threatened with legal action over name of its 'blasphemous' sandwich

[Still Waters]

A café in Derbyshire has received a threatening letter about the name of one of its sandwiches.

The Bridge Bakehouse in Whaley Bridge offers a variety of freshly made sandwiches, all with quirky, pun-infused names such as 'don't go bacon my heart' and 'are you chicken me out?'.

But one member of the community has taken offense at one sarnie in particular – a very cheesy offering called 'Cheesus Christ'.

I'd leave the name on the menu. Not changing a thing. 

[Orphalesion]

That isn't even offensive. It's just cute.

Though that begs the question; can you warm it up after three days in the fridge and it tastes like new?

[+and-then]

Such brave souls they and those like them, are.  I wonder why they don't have a Muhammad Megaton Mozzarella?  JK, we ALL KNOW why they spit on some religions but leave others alone out of "respect".  With everything else going on in the world today, folks are going to soon have to choose what they believe, like their lives depended on it.  

And for any of the more "delicate" souls here, that's an observation, not a threat, so relax and carry on with your splendid examples of humor.

Who wants to get killed for laughing at a fairy tale? That's not a hill worth dying on, or worth a second thought. Anyway, we all know which religion is the true word of God, all the rest are misguided.

When you lose your sense of humor, all hope is lost.

Mate, you know I’m Catholic and I can live with someone calling a sanga “Cheesus Christ”, despite “Chessus Crust” would be better. Let folks mock, it isn’t my problem they laugh at me and my beliefs.

[quiXilver]

I'd sell them as a two for one...

Come back three days after original purchase of your Cheesus Christ to claim your 'Risen on Rye'!

But can you laugh at yourself as well? Why not Jesus Crust?

Because it doesn’t tell you want type of sandwich it is.

Praise the Lord, it wasn’t in America for once 

[Nutrition Fact]

They sent themself the letter as a publicity stunt.

[Myles]

it doesn't bother me but I'm not sure it is a smart move.   Lots of religious people out there who will take offense.   

[Sojo]

This just proves how litigious some folks are. I think some folks would sue the local government for building the sidewalks too close to their bum. I bet they would also take offense at someone crying out "cheese and crackers" as an exclamation of frustration, or "dad burn it" instead of G D. it.

[HollyDolly]

Sir Wearer of Hats, As a fellow Catholic I agree with you. Probably some fundementalist protestant, even though we at times have our own wackados.

My guess is because that name is nowhere near as clever?

With a name like Jesus Crust it could be a sandwich only made of crust....or the heel pieces of the bread loaves? Probably not a lot of folks who would order that.

Yeah, poor christians.   I think the name "Cheezus Crust" would have been funnier, but I don't think they should let one person or one group force them to change their menu.   Things are different in the U.S. than the UK though.

Well, that makes sense, but where's the link? Or is that just your comment.

Hi Robotic

Or it could be 2 fish and 7 loaves of bread to feed the crew.

Unleaven bread with a kosher filling. Perhaps a tuna sandwich....

[fred_mc]

He was probably called Yeshua, which sounds nothing like cheese.
