To think the MN cookbook name is really really crap?

[AtYourCervix]

Admittedly I have a bit of a 'thing' about those yellow abominations that masquerade as foodstuff but it's a crap name and has put me off even looking at said cookbook.

And I know that now the whole of MNHQ will be sad now but it had to be said.

Yanbu.

But I really want one

Are MN running any comps?

You should have said something nice before delivering the blow, something like the colours on the front of the book are nice but the name is shite...

I frigging hate bananas to- yuck!

It just sounds childish and unprofessional to me. By itself it certainly doesn't indicate a brand or business I would respect and trust, and only the subtitle saves it, by giving a description of what the book actually is and who it's from. Poor decision in my book, and I can't quite see what Bloomsbury (who apparently were the ones who drove that decision) were thinking, unless it was to try and patronise parents by using baby-language.

[MN sad face]
Is there a cook book ? Why didn't someone tell us ?
What is it called ?

I didn’t even know there was a cookbook.

A cook book You say?

Linkie here

I agree, it sounds like a 14 year olds MSN name.

(if 14 year olds still use MSN that is. Do they?)

No, MSN is dead.

Cookbook name sounds like it should have gone with it...

YANBU - title is naff and would put me off buying the book.
And I love bananas!

I think it should be called cutted up pear

cutted up pear would have been a great title!

It is bad. I didn't know that was its real name. And ignorance was bliss. Cutted up pear would have been....well not top banana as it's not 1989 but it would have been am far superior name.

People will only but it to find out what is required for a penis beaker.

Is Top Banana not circa 1980?

X-post Savoy

I agree. 'Top Bananas' sounds like an early 80's trying-too-hard tv ad campaign.

Sorry HQ.

it's a book about bananas? Bananas are the Fruit of the Devil. YANBU.

Maybe that's the sequel?

(Cutted up pear as the sequel, that is, x-posts.)

On another thread MNHQ said that it was just one of a whole bunch (ha!) of suggestions that got thrown out in brainstorming sessions. Even the person who originally mentioned it didn't think much of it, but the publishers loved it and latched onto it.

I like it, but then I do like bananas an awful lot.

Should have been called Wank Badger......

My position is exactly the same as yours OP!

There is no place for cooked bananas in my life - putting the words banana and cookbook on the same page for me is a massive turn off.

Why would you?

It's an awful name. I was a bit when I saw it. Will still buy it though.

It is dreadful.
