Hot Cross Bun drama....

[Thorilicious]

DH has just gone to the kitchen, got a hot Cross Bun, and has just eaten it as is.
No slicing it open, no toasting it, no butter.

How did I not know this about him before I married him
(light hearted!)

Nooooooo.

There are some posters on here who do that.

That is the ONLY way to eat them! Not toasted, not split, hot cross buns as they should be in their natural state

That's the best way. Butter is revolting and ruins everything.

I'm so surprised that there are people agreeing with DH!!
The clues in the name, people! Hot=toasted...

Oooh I love a hot cross bun ‘au natural’ from time to time but only if they’re very soft and fresh!

Hot cross buns are foul

Fresh- as they come
Slightly less fresh - toasted and buttered
Stale - bread and butter pudding

What a fecking barbarian.

I am fumming on your behalf op.

LTB!

This is how I eat them. Too much admin getting the toaster out, toasting them, dealing with the crumbs etc etc

Nah you eat them in the wild. No butter, no toasting. Just rip their little raisiny hearts out and tuck in.

I've done this. Usually when I'm running late with no time for breakfast. Just grab one to eat on the train. I quite like it, but equally feel guilty that I've "wasted" a hot cross bun!

I prefer them not toasted, but they need butter.

Fresh- as they come
Slightly less fresh - toasted and buttered
Stale - bread and butter pudding

Exactly this.

My first ever LTB

Must be split, toasted and slathered in real salty butter

what else do you not know about him?????

There is no hope for me, I eat Hot Cross Buns as they are if they are really fresh and soft, I also eat them split and buttered, (the butter has to be thick enough that you leave teeth marks in it) and I also have them toasted.

I am no help at all in your dilemma, OP.

Fresh- as they come
Slightly less fresh - toasted and buttered
Stale - bread and butter pudding

Yes, exactly. Asda bakery do lovely freshly baked soft hot cross buns and they are delicious to eat as they come.

My 8 year old daughter eats hot cross buns AND scones like this.....DH and I can barely stand to watch...she has clearly been picking up these barbarian habits elsewhere!

This is a red flag OP, he has shown you his true self. Run

I feel your pain but cannot wait long enough to toast an M and S hot chilli and cheese bun!

M&S chilli cheese hot cross bun makes amazing cheese on toast!!

On another thread there were many people questioning cheese on a hot cross bun.

Fools.

Our local bakers bags their own. They are the size of a proper tea cake and sticky as hell. Yum.

Also how I eat them 🤷‍♀️

No. The only way I ever have mine is cold, open so top and bottom are separate, half just butter on half butter and strawberry jam.

Wait! M & S do a chilli cheese hot cross bun? How did I not know this?
