Are You Partial To A Hot Cross Bun?

[naomi24]

We had some Tesco Finest Extra Fruity - and very nice they are too.

yes i like the real hot cross buns not all the ones with added things like cream egg etc x

[davebro3]

I do have one or two but they're not really my favourite. I wouldn't miss them at all.

The ones available here are a bit doughy.  Plenty of butter on them with a nice cuppa makes them moreish though.

I love them - have them all year round , not chocolate ones but maybe Bramley apple or blueberry ones for a change.

I had some from Aldi - lots of fruit in them.

Did ignore the carbs over Good Friday & Saturday, and had 2 for breakfast each day. Prefer traditional ones with a generous amount of fruit to the new fangled varieties.  Not Tesco ones though. We think it was Lidl's first, then Sainburys. They may be cheaper now but 4 in 2 days is quite enough.

Husband likes them. I might get him some as a treat, if he's nice to me today. 😐

I like hot cross buns, toasted teacakes and fruit loaves.

I could eat a lot, smothered in butter but those days are long gone for me.

I had half a hot cross bun on Good Friday with a cup of coffee.  I gave up tea and coffee for Lent.

I have some Rhubarb & Custard Hot X Buns in my freezer at the moment which will be toasted.  Used up (ate) all my Apple & Cinnamon ones which I also toast and my Salted Caramel & Chocolate ones which were too gooey to toast!  Don't very often buy the fruity ones.

Have you seen M&S chocolate buns that look like mini cream eggs with gooey stuff in the middle??

Yuk!

[Prudie]

Yes Naomi we have had exactly those, pack of 6, one each every morning over this weekend. Just plain toasted with butter for us.  

[naomi24]

I've never tried different flavours.  Just the traditional - and they must be spread with real butter - none of the plastic substitutes will do - but I feel like that about real butter anyway.  I would never buy anything less. 

[Prudie]

Have to admit that reading Jellybean's selection actually make me heave, especially rhubarb and custard 🤣

I luv a hot cross bun. Anything that says rhubarb and custard or creamy egg or even chocolate flavour is NOT a hot cross bun.

Bought 2 packs of 4 from Iceland shop last week and I'd better have 2 left!

I luv hot cross buns :)))

I love a toasted hot x bun, especially Sainsbury's marmalade ones..or any extra special range, the Co-op ones are lovely. Wouldn't waste my money on ordinary ones, or any fancy pants ones especially if they have chocolate on them.
