Mega Thread Things that Shit me part XII - The Twelfth One!

[Off The Couch]

When I grew up I remember being told at some point they were called hot cross buns because the idea was they were only baked the Thurs/Fri/Sat/Sun morning & to be consumed while still warm (& only then, not at any other time thereafter).

In our house I think it was only the Sunday so that it was an easy cheap breakfast for us. From a religious perspective I believe it's supposed to only be Good Friday

I'm with others though, I could eat them warm, slathered with butter all year round
I hate the chocolate chip ones though


I've just seen a recipe for Flo's pumpkin scones - I'm going to give them a go and smother them in butter as well

Next week I'll be complaining about my weight again

I like the apple and cinnamon ones or the traditional ones, choc chip no thanks

+1 for chocolate ones being ****ing gross. Made for people who don't do sultanas (like Mrs Beerfish).

Apple and cinnamon - wtf
Gross

it's a bit like eating apple pie but toasted with butter

 

[Beerfish]

Well there you go. Don't think I've ever heard anyone describe apple and cinnamon as 'gross' before.

I love the combination and have it quite often at breakfast with natural yoghurt but in a HXB it just sounds awful

Give it a go. You might be surprised.

Is this a Perth thing?

Apple & cinnamon go together like ham and cheese.

have just been informed that woolies do in fact sell them year round but will only bake like a pack or two normally as no one buys them. they also dont put the cross on unless its the easter or lead up period.

So they sell buns year round?

 

[Jack Stevens]

I'll most likely be at the footy for Good Friday this year, so I'll most likely be eating a meat pie on the day. What are you gonna do, God, smite me?

As for hot cross buns, I'm holding off until Baker's Delight start selling them. Life is too short for supermarket hot cross buns.

As previously stated I'm a fan of the combination in yoghurt. I just can't imagine it in a HXB

 

[Hamingja]

People that park in front of your rubbish bins left out for collection. GTFO.

that's one thing that shits me, people who don't follow a religion yet think they have to eat fish on good friday just because other people do it. If you are religious and you believe in it, then fair enough... but if you're not, you are just being a sheep basically.

Many may not be religious but Australia is very conservative. I bet a lot of people will still complain about sport being played on Good Friday.

They need to have BBL on Xmas night I reckon, untapped market.

Theres an untapped market in meat-flavoured Hot Cross Buns

 

[Catfish Alley]

I agree that the Bakers Delight ones are the best.

 

[RelaxMax]

There's an untapped market in meat-flavoured Hot Cross Buns

For a good reason

 

[Catfish Alley]

Probably a good market for hot-crossed meat pies.

Probably a good market for hot-crossed meat pies.

You could do a nice chicken pie with a bacon cross on the pastry.
