Trick Or Treat....

We had Christmas goods and Halloween side by side as well as fireworks for bonfire day, Nov 5th.   I am sure that if you looked close enough you could also find hot cross buns, they seem to be available for most of the year.

 

Never heard of such a thing, but I searched the net, now I know.

Mum, I'm getting bored, can I post some Youtube videos on here?

Why, certainly, dear boy. Lol

I remember the nursery rhyme about them.

 

 

 

Religious meaning of Hot Cross Buns
Hot cross buns are a small, spicey fruit cake decorated with a white cross as shown in the picture of our Hot Cross Buns. Generally Hot Cross Buns are served with a butter spread. Hot cross buns were hawked by street-sellers to the cry of "Hot cross buns!" around the the nineteenth century. This particular way of selling wares is demonstrated in the movie "Oliver!" based on the novel by Charles Dickens. Hot Cross Buns are generally sold at Easter to celebrate the religious significance of the resurrection of Christ following his death on the cross in the Easter Christian festival.
