The clue: Britain
Rupert?
Kent?
Montague or Montagu
Marmite?
Eton?
Trinity?
Cambridge?
Hamlet?
Marmalade? Earl?
Bobby?
George?
Sammy?
Chip?
Ploughman?
Buttie?
Sarnie?
(At this point I would like to apologise if my posts seem like spamming but I assure you there is reasoning behind every one. And I really want that book!)
John Montagu?
Ruxpin?
Monte Cristo?
Marmalade has to be the winner. I’m just surprised it wasn’t Reuben or Earl.
Anyway, I’ll guess:
Kent
Cucumber?
Ploughman?
Roly Poly?
Dammit, it should be Paddington bear, who always had his signature marmalade sandwich, but Jerry was born (1949), according to wikipedia, and Paddington first appeared in (1958). Also Alex already said Paddington.
Ham
Monte?
Churchill?
Winston?
Are you sure it’s not Pookie?
I think it should be.
It’s gotta be ‘Ham’, or ‘Hammy’. What better example of high cuisine than a good old British Rail ham sandwich!
Andy
Hamwich?
Hercules after the ship that transported migrants from Britain to America in 1634?
Or are we all thinking about this too deeply?
Kent?
Grytviken?
Quaker?
Ben?
Earl?
Sammy?
Paddington?
Portsmith
Bruno Bear
Pedro Bear
Little lost bear?
Since someone guessed my new guess (Marmite)…
…I will guess something close in name, and also furry:
Marmot
Hey people! Read what others guessed before you say the same one for the eighth time.
Kent, Earl, Paddington, etc. were already guessed several times each.
Cristo?
King George
Baba ghanoush?
Edward
Winnipeg
Not marmelade: Jam.
Kent?
Dorset?
Wellington?
Beef wellington isn’t really a sandwich though…
My first thought was Earl, but how about Buddy?
Sooty
There is a Victoria Sponge Cake, also called a victoria sandwich. So assuming it’s a male bear, Victor? Or obviously victoria if it’s female.
Would he name a bear “Island”? Both Britain and the Sandwich Islands. My mother is from Thornhill, on Bantry Bay if far west Cork. Looking out from the ancestral home is Bere Island.
Jones
Castle
Windmill?
Ham?
Wimpy
I’m out of ideas. I just want to know the name of this fraking bear 🙂
Ham
Domesday
George / St George
John
Picnic
Cook?
Dorothy?
