A Chinese maker of famed stuffed buns whose Chinese name means ‘A dog would ignore it’ has cleaned up its English-language to avoid confusion.

The steamed ‘Goubuli’ buns filled with a mince of meat and vegetables are the pride of Tianjin, the port city near Beijing. Their Chinese name literally means ‘Dog would ignore it’ and is said to come from the nickname of the man who began selling them some 150 years ago.

Now the buns are sold nationwide and have attracted makers of fake ‘Dog-would-ignore-it’ buns.

Hungry for more success and apparently worried that foreign tourists may fear their name reflects the buns’ quality or contents, the Tianjin Goubuli Group Corporation has opted for a new English name — ‘Go Believe.’

Possibly sounds better in Chinese.
