Oh god. They’re awesome.

I bought a pack at 5pm yesterday. I’ve just eaten the last one. Slightly warmed with cream cheese in (currently mourning the roasted pepper one Philadelphia used to do, that would be amazing in them) and maybe a slice of salami

Consider this a PSA...buy them!!

They’re in the long life bread section with the other Hot X buns

Nooo! You inspired me so I just popped across the road to M&S in my lunchbreak and they're sold out! I'm gutted.

Are they the same as the chilli cheese bread the Co-op does all year round?

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 03/02/2020 14:40

Better Geoffrey! (And I fucking love that bread!)

They're not just chilli and cheese... they have onion in too.. Mmmmm

Geoffreythecat · 03/02/2020 14:42

Better than that bread? Faints.

SimplySteveRedux · 03/02/2020 14:44

Ooh I’m not thinking a fried egg and a rasher if bacon in them would also be good

Stop teasing me!! 14 miles to my nearest M&S..hmm, what excuse can I come up with...

Whitney168 · 03/02/2020 14:46

This sounds like a great variation for husband's lunches. (Just the thought of sandwiches every day bores me senseless.)

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 03/02/2020 16:33

I didn’t think it was possible Geoffreythecat!!

I saw these at the till last week and already had far too much to carry, so I didn't get them, but I made a mental note to go back.

Clearly I should have lashed my work laptop in a bin to free up space, and filled my bag with them. Goddammit.

Countmeout · 03/02/2020 18:34

They are fabulous. Ate them as they come. Hoping to get more. They were only £1 last Friday too which was even better.

SinglePringle · 03/02/2020 18:40

I do not understand them. Are they chilli AND cheese or cheese flavoured with chilli? And where is the chilli / cheese combo? In the bun? On top?

georgialondon · 03/02/2020 18:42

These sound amazing!

polkadotpj · 03/02/2020 19:03

What bit of them is hot cross bun like? Are they not just cheesy rolls?

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 03/02/2020 19:50

are they not just cheesy rolls Shock I am personally offended by that and I’ll tell you why, At first glance, they look like a speckled cheesy roll, they’re not cheesy roll size though, They’re hot cross bun size, not too big, frankly a bit too small. They’re squishy, a quick fondle (because you don’t want to squeeze them) will liken them to a soft, perfectly cooked bap. But they’re so much more.

Beautifully golden with flecks of red and brown, a beautiful cheesy cross on top. A bite of them is an explosion in your mouth, caramelised onion, a kick from the chilli and a subtle cheese flavour. It’s the most glorious thing you’ll have put in your mouth, your tastebuds are crying out for more so you take another bite...With that second bite, you’ll want nothing more then to walk, nay run, to your nearest M&S to stock up because you know from this moment on, nothing will ever be the same again without them in your life

Love that, sounds like a saucy novel!

AudTheDeepMinded · 04/02/2020 13:34

People it's early fucking February, sod off with your hot cross buns and their variants.

BeeFarseer · 04/02/2020 18:38

I HAVE THEM.

BorneoBabe · 04/02/2020 18:38

My local had every flavour EXCEPT Chilli Cheese. Sad

BeeFarseer · 04/02/2020 18:40

I've just eaten my first one. OMFG.

I was going to make a Greek salad but I'm having a second one instead.

These had better not end up in the Mumsnet Swears By email because I will go apeshit if they sell out.

HorseFlyOfExtraordinaryLength · 04/02/2020 18:46

I have a day off work tomorrow so I can pop into M&S and look for them.
If they are as good as you make out I might need to empty the freezer and stock up for the next few months.
Excited
