Cheese Graffiti, Exmouth Market

Nice bit of cheese based punnery here. A friend of mine once made a similar joke, at least I think it was a joke, about opening a Christian themed take-away pizza restaurant called “Cheesus Crust”.

Fusion Food#1, Borough

You know when the whole concept of fusion cuisine has trickled down to the lower rungs of the catering industry when you begin to see abominations of this kind gracing the shelves of your local grocery store. There is a factory somewhere that is actually making these. Someone came up with these ideas, that is their job. Think about that.

Ikea, Croydon

I can’t imagine anything worse than being lost for hours and hours in the furnishing labyrinth that is Ikea, only to emerge cushion weary at the other end and accidentally eat a rodent encased in chocolate.

Starring Marlin Brando?, Deptford

Boom boom. I think there are a few fish and chips shops which have used this pun, hence the need to differentiate themselves with the prefix “The Deptford…”. This in fact could be the most overused pun in the realm of fish and chippery. Apart from maybe the old “John’s Plaice” gambit…that’s another classic of the fryers world. What excites me though is that it seems to trade right next door to a shop whose speciality appears to be eggs. They’re treading a dangerous path there, what if there were another salmonella scare? Perhaps I’m selling them short though. Maybe they don’t just sell chicken eggs, perhaps they sell eggs from a wide range of different species? This must be investigated.

Laziness, Bromley

If you are going to be lazy and appropriate a famous beer brands advertising campaign to flog your “dinner” the least you could do is get their name right. In fact if you’re a publican or even one of their chalk wielding minions you’d have thought they’d have seen the name Carlsberg so many times to make mis-spelling it an impossibility. Also to me it looks like they are suggesting that if Carlsberg cooked dinners then they would choose a window box of Bromley pub as their kitchen. Frankly that’s never going to work.
