"Is it too early to get those buns out, those lovely hot cross buns? No I have been eating them for weeks. However when I was a kid they would only be sold on Good Friday. My Dad used to make them and waking up to the smell of them for breakfast is a lovely memory of my gorgeous Dad." I remember that. Have you noticed that you can't buy a plain old current bun these days? | |||

"We had hot cross buns last night. Only when we tasted them they were very different. Looked at the packet and they were very berry hot cross buns with blueberries, blackcurrant and some other berry which I had never heard of. We prefer the traditional buns." Did they also have the hot cross bun taste? I've seen all kinds of flavours but it just seems very very wrong. | |||

Why do they always have to try and change things. The traditional ways are often the best. | |||

Have you noticed that you can't buy a plain old current bun these days?" Yes but you can buy tea cakes. Most “buns” are disgusting now - made by the quick method using loads of yeast - makes them pretty awful and like rubber sponges. Can’t wait to get back to France and decent bread and cakes | |||

My Dad was a better cook than my Mum and used to test recipes until he had them perfected. He made wonderful pastry and apple pies, bread, buns including yeasted iced fingers, fruit cake and trifle. | |||

"Does anyone actually eat them hot?" I like them split and toasted inside only with lots of butter. | |||
