Cafe in Peak District 'threatened and vandalised over insulting name of sandwich'

A café in Derbyshire has been threatened with legal action and had its menu vandalised over the name of one of its sandwiches. The Bridge Bakehouse in Whaley Bridge received a strongly worded letter claimed to be from a religious organisation who had taken offensive to the sandwich's name.

The popular Peak District café boasts a selection of sandwiches with playful, punny names including "Don't go bacon my heart", "Are you chicken me out?" and "Get ya goat, you've pulled". However the sandwich in question, dubbed the "cheesus Christ", has sparked outrage from the Christian group who claim its name is an "insult to Christianity".

The sandwich, which contains caramelised onion, onion chutney, mature cheddar and mozzarella sandwich, has been on the menu since last year, but in the last week the sandwich's name has been painted over in white paint on the cafe's outdoor menu. The business also received the letter which threatened legal action.
