Animal rights group PETA has taken issue with the name of southern Tasmania's Eggs and Bacon Bay and is lobbying for it to be changed to a vegan alternative.
PETA Australia campaign coordinator Ashley Fruno said the group had written to the Huon Valley Council requesting the location be known as Apple and Cherry Bay.
Idea not palatable to residents.
One man, Doug, said locals were perfectly happy with the name.
"These single-interest groups ought to go overseas and annoy the shit out of ISIS," he said.
Tasmania has a number of uncommon place names. There is Nowhere Else, near Cradle Mountain; Milkshake Hills, near Smithton in the Northwest; Snug and Precipitous Bluff in the Huon Valley and, of course, Eggs and Bacon Bay.
