To ban DP from calling a food van this

[KnittedC]

DP, a chef, is looking into opening a food business; and thinking about a gourmet food van selling hot and cold sandwiches etc. He has mooted the following as a potential name... 'In Bread'.

I think (hope!) he is joking as it's the worst name I've ever heard, but he thinks it's funny. WIBU to LTB if he ever actually did it?

Yes "on a roll" is great! "Roll" is good because the van travels (rolling along) and it's a bit "rock n roll" as well.

I quite like it, and for those saying it's not up market enough you might be interested to know the shoe shop mentioned earlier, which is actually called r soles sells boots which are hundreds of pounds on the kings road in London, ever rich people can have a sense of humor!

There's a fish and chip shop in a fairly Jewish area of Sydney called 'Chish and Fips'. It's a play on the traditional Yiddish/Hebrew pronunciation of 'ch' which is more like a guttural 'kh' sound. Makes me smile every time we go there...and I am sure they do more business because of it (apart from the fact their food is normally excellent).

How about 'B.S.E. on wheels' ? (standing for Best Sandwiches Ever)

[VivaLeBeaver]

Mmm BSE would put me right off the beef and horseradish option.

There used to be a Bapmobile here. Have also seen Utterly Butty-ly, Barmy Babes, Roy's Rolls and Buns' on Wheels.

I love it. Short, with a twist and it would def catch my attention.

[PearlyWhites]

Haha love it

There's a butty van on my way to work called Only Food and Sauces

[WafflyVersatile]

I'd steal Sam Widge.

The shoe shop is R Soles. On the King's Road, Chelsea. Quite a posh area of London I'm lead to believe.

[SquinkiesRule]

Mybe if the sanwiches are posh it should be Well Bread.

[Punkatheart]

R Soles has been there for decades. But it's an exception and has long since been accepted.

I am thinking more and more that 'Just Bloody Sandwiches' might be refreshing.

[BloggingAboutTediousThings]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Well Bread is perfect!

[Punkatheart]

But it's not. This is not for a bakery. The obsession with bread is misplaced. It needs to says something about sandwiches with amazing gourmet fillings.

Also Well Bread means Well Bred of course - but Well Bread makes no sense.

You could have something with the word 'Hamper' - despite the fact that is means 'laundry basket' in America.

'Just Fucking Sandwiches!'

starts to grind teeth. Glasses falls off nose, Whiteboard is set alight

[Pigsmummy]

I want to open a cafe next to a construction site called "hot baps".

[ToomuchIsBackOnBootcamp]

My favourite was a great coffee shop set at the very top of a very steep hill in San Francisco, called ... "Shaky Grounds" genius me thought.

I don't like In Bread, as others say, the link is incest which is so NOT funny. A pun isn't always a good idea. I prefer the "fancy name & name" option, much more classy if he's going for the upmarket end.

7 pages, do you think we scared her off?!

[Punkatheart]

Yes - that is genius - a very in-joke, local and funny.

I wanted to work for the upholstery firm in London called Get Stuffed - just so I could answer the 'phone. Still do.

[piprabbit]

Full Filling.
Fulfilling.

I really like In Bread. It's a bit League of Gentleman, like Burger Me.
Will he do a 'special stuff' bap?

[Merrin]

Something Posh & Wilde, save the puns for advertising then if they don't work you can ditch them.

Brunswick & Wilde Harrenhall & Wilde Monmouth & Wilde Kennet & Wilde

alliteration is good

Westwood & Wilde Wallace & Wilde Walmsley & Wilde Warwick & Wilde

There are some great old surnames on the census from the 1800s, ones that are no longer in use.

I like Pauncefoot: Pauncefoot ? a name which appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, as Pauncevolt ? was probably a nickname for a person with a fat belly, from the Old French word ?pance? or ?panch?, meaning ?stomach?.

[KnittedC]

I'm glad that there are lots of people who agree that it's a bit of an unsavoury name, I think DP is reconsidering it now, phew! I do love a pun and don't think it being gourmet means you can't have a cheesy pun for a name, but I think steering clear of the incest-based ones would be safest...!

For those who can't imagine a gourmet food van, believe me, they exist. There's been a big 'dirty food' gourmet van trend happening in the trendy parts of London for a while now and it's starting to spread across the country.

DP has gone back to the drawing board on the name front (hooray!) Thanks for your thoughts everyone
