LONDON, June 26 (Reuters) - Andy Murray clearly isn't letting the expectation of becoming Britain's first men's Wimbledon champion since 1936 get too much for him if the way he uses his downtime is anything to go by.

The 22-year-old third seed, whose backroom team have had to succumb to a sequence of playful forfeits during the championships, has started a tennis player-food name game. Does a Lleyton Chewit get your tastes buds tingling? Or how about a James Flake to pop in your ice cream?

"John MacEnrolo, Cod woodbridge, mardy fishcakes, prawn borg, martina haggis, mince spadea, egg rusedski, spotted dick norman. Too good," the Scot mused on his Twitter social networking site.

Murray cruised into the third round of the championships on Thursday, and is due to play Serbia's Viktor Troicki -- or should that be Viktor Turkey? -- on Saturday. (Editing by Miles Evans; To query or comment on this story email sportsfeedback@thomsonreuters.com)
