Dont need the PC brigade for that up here. Stopped wearing mine because of the grief I got about "handgliders" from the very narrow minded. Wonder if aI can put a "hot Cross" on their bun eeerrrrm. :D

Re: hot x buns
 

I don't, but might start. If anyone is offended, I will tell them that I am offended and probably more than you are, so what you gonna do about THAT mate?

Re: hot x buns
 

Err pleading the 5th amendment on that one.

Re: hot x buns
 

Again its pc gone mad, I'm sure the kids involved wont even know the history of the hot x bun.

Re: hot x buns
 

your right but no mention of marzipan and i've never had one with marzipan and i eat loads of em. I like them cold with or without butter. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_cross_bun

my pc works fine

Re: hot x buns
 

The ones in the picture you posted have a marzipan cross. The cross is usually dough mixed with marzipan, to make it lighter in colour than the bun dough, which is usually a pale yellow because of the spices.

"Hot cross banned: councils decree buns could be 'offensive' to non-Christians" (Daily Telegraph article)

WELL THATS JUST TOUGH :mad:

Re: hot x buns
 

Will they now ban all religious "bits" so that no one of any faith is offended?

Re: hot x buns
 

Its more to do with tradition than religion isn't it really. I eat hot cross buns cos I like them not because of religion and i eat them at easter cos thats when they're available, cos thats when they're traditionally available

Re: hot x buns
 

i bought some in tescos today,,,they still had crosses on.

Re: hot x buns
 

I got some in Asda yesterday and easter is a few weeks away yet so how can they be easter only grub. Some places do them all year round because people like them.

Re: hot x buns
 

True but they dont get put on the centre stand packed up and on offer at any other time than easter. but yes I buy them most of the year round, they are one of my favourite foods, and are my favourite bun/cake type of food, id rather have one than a doughnut anyday.

Re: hot x buns
 

When you all come to my tea party I'll be serving hot cross buns, with crosses on.

Re: hot x buns
 

yum..and loads of lurpac....the best butter ,imo:)
