AHunter3. Third in a line of gravies designed to make gamy meats more palatable. Brought to you by the folks who make A1 sauce, no doubt. ---

I think I’m a kind of tea: organic, refreshing, rather like green tea, but yellower in colour. I’m featured in the kind of advertisements that have athletic west-coast thirtysomething divorcées dressed in Egyptian cotton relaxing by their zen gardens and bamboo planters and listening to electronic folk music from Nepal mixed with the sound of ocean waves. ---

> [@Lumpy](#): > > Quite possibly. Or a really posh brand of “biscuit” that comes in a tin. Yes! **Princhesters** are marketed as an “English tea biscuit” to Americans who have never had an English tea biscuit but want something fancy to serve to guests. The packaging is all shades of burgundy and gold with heraldic motifs and a big coat-of-arms type thingie that looks suspiciously like the “[By Appointment to Her Majesty the Queen](http://www.johnrossjr.com/templates/johnross/gfx/headerQueen.gif)” thing. They’re made by Keebler. The name was chosen by a focus group in Topeka, Kansas. ---

> [@Polycarp](#): > > Before realizing you founded it on _The Thief of Time_, I always associated it with Tuesday Lobsang Rampa, 1960s occultist writer and (possibly charlatan) Tibetan monk. With the benefit of hindsight I should have named myself Lobsang Ludd as that’s the full name of the character. At the time I was dumb and young. In fact a better name if I am taking one from Discworld would have been ‘Thief of Time’. But in another altogether different angle of hindsight, Lobsang has turned out to be a defining sort of choice. Lobsang Ludd would have been _too_ dope/discworld. So would ‘Thief of Time’ So would ‘Mr Vimes’ or ‘Sam Vimes’ or ‘Blackboard Monitor’ and so on. And Lobsang as a single word is close enough to my real last name to ‘fit’ me reasonably well. I use it in the computer game Modern Warfare 2 and people who I’ve played on that game who also know me IRL seem to accept it due to its similarity to my real last name. eta: Which, I intended but forgot to point out, is ‘Lobley’ [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-your-board-name-was-a-food/524131.md?page=8) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/if-your-board-name-was-a-food/524131.md?page=10)
