hot x buns
 

is this p.c. thing getting out of hand... the latest objection is crosses on the hot cross bun.... WHO are these people who keep taking offence,,maybe they should just get a life...:mad:

Re: hot x buns
 

i dont get you granny what are you on about?

Re: hot x buns
 

I heard that the hot cross bun might be banned, but this was last year. I though that it was a "pith take" by the non-religious people or those who see the christian cross as offensive.

I hope its not true and this never comes about. Gowd ... its only a ruddy bun at the end of the day !

i too read about this yesterday but i cant remember where....

Re: hot x buns
 

Hot cross buns were first sold by street sellers in the nineteenth century to a special ditty. They were adopted as an Easter celebration, and have been so for nearly 200 years. Now some idiotic school teacher in Suffolk says they can only be eaten by the children in her school if the cross is removed. I think this is taking the ethnic minority situation too far.

Re: hot x buns
 

id make the x RED and then place plenty of excess white flower on the top then they would have sumatt to shout about.....:engsmil:

Re: hot x buns
 

Your right grannyclaret it is PC gone mad. Ethnic minorities are allowed to wear different clothes on religious grounds, have 'special food' cooked for them in school, but it looks like Christian kids can't have a bun because of a cross. The PC crowd should be hauled before the courts for causing racial hatred. Most ethnic minorities couldn't care less what any one else eats as long as they don't have to.

Re: hot x buns
 

Wasn't it some headmistress down sarf somewhere that decided to ban hot X buns from the school off her own bat. For once I don't think the politicians had a hand in it but it just goes to show that their pc brainwashing is working with those that cannot think for themselves.

An interesting side note regarding political correctness, according to yesterday's Observer BA cabin crew have been forbidden from wearing crucifixes on flights to Saudia Arabia, so they won't offend passengers.

Re: hot x buns
 

Apparently this was a head teacher who said she had children in her school who are Jehova's Witnesses and they don't believe in celebrating Easter, the Cross or anything similar. Fine, they don't have to eat the buns do they? I think that woman, and those who think like her, is a trouble-maker trying to make a name for herself by being politically correct.

Re: hot x buns
 

It'll be Easter eggs next.:(

A mixture of pagan symbolism of rebirth, mixed with a representation of the stone being rolled away from Jesus's tomb in the garden of Gethsemane.

At least we won't have Cadbury's Creme Eggs in the shops on Boxing Day.;)

Re: hot x buns
 

Hot Cross Buns ...Hot Cross Buns ...1 a penny, 2 a penny ..... Hot Cross Buns !!!!!

Soon be banned at this rate !
Must pick up every one at ASDA tomorrow and deep freeze them before they ban them .. :D

Re: hot x buns

I heard that. What a bloody cheek. Where is our hard fought for freedom and culture going?

What school was it? They are getting a letter from me!

Re: hot x buns
 

i hope marks and sparks keep their x's on.....they are yummy buns..it would be a shame to lose them for a silly woman...

Re: hot x buns
 

We need to protest, I'm offended!!!!

Re: hot x buns
 

Totally agree on that one!!!! :cool:

Re: hot x buns
 

No they wouldn't. This is our country that would be our flag, they can stuff it!

Re: hot x buns
 

I am in total agreement with you except that I don't like hot cross buns, but it is about time we got our country back from the hands of the do-gooders, the country that our ancestors fought and paid so dearly for in the last century.

Re: hot x buns
 

Oh please, don't get me started on do-gooders.......................


Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

Re: hot x buns
 

Must admit ... never knew had any religious meaning .. just one of those things you accept, but appalled that demands should be made to take it off .. don't know about you, but just wouldn't taste the same, would it ?
Or is it just in my mind ?

Re: hot x buns
 

Ban all crossroads as well.;)

Re: hot x buns
 

It was easier to burn the Motel down than try and ban it.

Re: hot x buns
 

If they took the X off then they wouldn't be able to call it the Hot x bun, what would they call it then?

It just wouldn't be the same.

Re: hot x buns
 

Does the name comply with trading standards when they are sold cold?

Re: hot x buns
 

Oooooh, never thought of that!!!

Re: hot x buns
 

i love my hot cross buns ... i think the whole p/c brigade want locking up & depriving of the things they like best ...see how they would cope then ......its stupid totally stupid.

Re: hot x buns
 

Does that mean banning them from talking out of their collective dung pipes?

Re: hot x buns
 

thats a very big yes......!!!!!

Re: hot x buns
 

Does the country have a big enough padded room to put them all in first? :D

Re: hot x buns
 

It's the spices that make them hot, after all the fasting and plain food you've endured through Lent.

Re: hot x buns
 

So hot doesn't mean temperature anymore?

Re: hot x buns
 

The spice is the cross bit isn't it rindy.

Re: hot x buns
 

ithink that is just flour and water but i might be wrong

Re: hot x buns
 

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

i love hot cross buns

buy em from asda a few secs in hte microwave

mmmmmmmmmmmmm total

Re: hot x buns
 

No, the cross is usually marzipan, or even just an indentation.

The spices are added to the dough.




Neil, have you never eaten an uncooked chilli? It's taste is described as hot.;)

Re: hot x buns
 

i could just eat one now,plastered with lurpac butter ,,,,

Re: hot x buns
 

This is on a par with the Headmistress in Tower Hamlets who turned down a free visit for the school to a performance of Romeo and Juliet by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her reason - it celebrated heterosexual love!

We are now having to realise that tolerance only works one way - in favour of those who see themselves (whether genuinely or not) as a minority, of whatever sort. Obviously, all national customs and traditions are the province of the majority, therefore no tolerance need be shown to them.

I'm only afraid that we'll wake up too late to what's happening, and find that our heritage has been completely trashed in the name of political correctness.

Re: hot x buns
 

Get behind me Satan !! Whoops not appropriate saying that.
Once upon a time, when I was at home with first child, used to make jam tarts (as me Mum did). Left over pastry from the cases, was rolled out into a long-snake like shape and used to twist and put a cross on top of same tart just to decorate like. Better not make them any more, might get raided at dawn :eek:

Re: hot x buns
 

Whats next on the hit list now that they have had a go at hot cross buns

Blackcurrent jam Mexican chicken Indian head massage Fish fingers black hair etc etc etc???????
:confused:

Re: hot x buns
 

Must not cross our laces? Cross stitch is out. Untangle spaghetti???

Re: hot x buns
 

Be in one hell of a mess if bursting for the loo and cant cross our legs. Oh no it happened!!!
:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Re: hot x buns
 

Would keep the catholics happy too!!

Re: hot x buns
 

No comment.

Re: hot x buns
 

must say i was wondering when the pc brigade were going to have a do about people wearing crucifixes ...as i do .

Re: hot x buns
 

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

Re: hot x buns
 

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.

Re: hot x buns
 

"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:)

Re: hot x buns
 

only the best for you GC
