This also goes for the fruit mince pies at xmas time. <br />An old school friend says that she works for a confectionery company "and we are under pressure from retailers to get Easter products on the shelf earlier and earlier every year...it's horrid!".<br /><br />A sporty friend eats them all year round. Apparently you can get them throughout the year - they may not have the cross on them but they sure are hot cross buns. He loves them as a post-race snack. <br /><br />While I could also eat them all year round, they lose their specialness and become commonplace - so I don't even look for them after Easter.<br /><br />Many cultures have food that are only made for annual celebrations - even the turkey at Xmas and Thanks Giving is a version of this (in SA we don't often eat much turkey outside of Xmas. Wedding cake at weddings, bread in Mexico for Day of the Dead, fudge-like biscuits in India for Diwali, sugar-topped nutty cookies in Egypt for a three-day Muslim festival and loads of others - Greek, Chinese and Jewish traditions spring to mind.<br /><br />I've had a number of comments around, "I love hot cross buns". This is a unanimous one ;)<br /><br />Yeah, I love hot cross buns too but I especially like them because they traditionally have a time to be eaten and enjoyed.adventurelisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054511421198362034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2879418859679592615.post-15228771548655245872012-02-02T17:08:11.679+02:002012-02-02T17:08:11.679+02:00I am with you on this.
