Easter eggs and hot cross buns
- Thread starter gregbrighton
- Start date
Mrs The Clamp simply adores a hot cross bun (toasted) with a bit of strong cheddar (not grilled, room temp) . We have a few packs on the larder. I like them absolutely pissing in butter.
Chocolate eggs, hmm. Neither of us are mad for chocolate, I will only eat maltesers or sometimes a Caramac. She loved Easter though, likes the rebirth aspect and that it is in Spring, our favourite season. She shall have a chocolate egg of some description. I will have my usual Sunday breakfast of 2 dippy eggs and bread (not toast) soldiers with a smattering of salt and butter.
We'll head off on a long stroll or a drive out for lunch then Pub with our neighbours for food and ale.
I have purchased these Easter items from Waitrose. I hope this covers everything.
If you need any further info, let me know.

Waitrose do a wholemeal hot cross bun that I think is incredible... works so well. Nice and soft too...but then find that their hot cross buns last better, staying fresher, than other makes. Easter Eggs on the other hand, seem overpriced rip-offs...the volume of chocolate v price never stacks up in my opinion...unless you wait until after Easter when the stores seem desperate to clear their egg mountains, so knock the price right down to something more realistic...

I've eaten so many of both already it's obscene by even my own standards.

That's what Easter is all about
Agreed. All hail the mighty bunny, bringer of chocolate and joy.

In Sainsburys yesterday they had a stand giving out warm hot cross buns .. with bacon in between top and bottom.
Best thing ever.

D'oh! Was in Sainsbury (West Hove) yesterday and no sign of such tastiness... they DID have a member of staff just about to try breaking a world record for Sport Relief... the most number of strawberries dunked in chocolate in a minute (51 or so IIRC). Not sure what that particular "challenge" has got to do with Sport Relief but anyway...
Might have to give it a try at some point. You can get hot cross buns pretty much all year round in some places, so plenty of opportunity coming up. Sounds an intriguing combo though.

Sainsburys HH were giving cup cakes in return for a donation to Sports Relief.

I'm guessing it's the only store you go in, as all the supermarkets have had them for ages.
I've devoured several packs already and declare the Waitrose ones with cranberry the winner.
Not fussed about Easter eggs generally, but do like a Cadbury cream egg or six. Not had any for ages, though.

Easter eggs are just chocolate... hot cross buns.. loaded with butter.. a gift from God.
Limited selection here. Tescos, or Marks.. Tescos can be a bit ropey here, so Marks.
