An incensed client threatened legal action against a bakery after it called a £4 sandwich “Cheesus Christ.”
The Bridge Bakehouse in Whaley Bridge, Derbyshire received a letter from the unidentified seething sandwich eater claiming that there was “clearly a case to answer” for “discrimination against Christians” due to the punny name of the cheddar cheese and mozarella sandwich that is served with onion chutney.
The Christian organization Christian Concern stated that the slant on the name Jesus Christ is an insult to Christianity and is considered in the eyes of the law as discrimination against Christians. It claimed to have intervened at the request of the neighborhood Holy Trinity church.
“There is certainly a case to answer here,” it said, “even if our clients would prefer to resolve this situation outside of court.”
In the name of Jesus Christ, our lord and savior, “Our clients do not intend to pursue this further, but believe they will be required to if action is not taken.”
In addition, the letter demanded that the bakery issue a formal apology, take the sandwich from the menu, and donate £300 to the Whaley Bridge, Derbs, village church.
The letter, however, was eventually found to be a hoax and had nothing to do with the nearby church or Christian Concern, according to the bakery.
In an effort to cover the obscene sandwich’s name, someone also vandalized The Bridge Bakehouse’s menu.
The £4 cold sandwich comes with mature cheddar, mozzarella, and caramelized onion chutney.
The unidentified vandal didn’t strike until now, despite the fact that it had been on the menu since at least last September.
According to The Bridge Bakehouse, the letter is written by a “disgruntled member of the neighborhood community.”
The “customers” were described as “excellent standing citizens” in the letter.
On June 10, the bakery posted a message on Facebook criticizing the upset customer who had vandalized their menu.
Can you kindly refrain from painting over the sandwich labeled “Cheesus Christ” on our outdoor menu board, it read.
We really don’t want to bother asking the council to look at the CCTV.
We’ll be very upset if it wasn’t carried out in the dead of night by a person wearing The Mask of Zorro.
However, the bakery has recently discovered that the letter was not actually written by Christian Church or the Holy Trinity church group, but rather by an angry person.
The bakery posted the information on its Instagram account Friday night, stating that they are still trying to identify the offender.
