Hot Cross Bun drama....

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 Confused
(light hearted!)

This is aways a bone of contention in our house. I eat them cold, untoasted but slathered in butter, dp thinks this is an abomination as they must be toasted.

I found some half price in Aldi today - so got 2 packets, obvs.
Eat cold when not enough time to toast. Works for me.

Is now a good time to admit that my 7 year eats kit kats by biting across the 4 fingers, instead of breaking them off....whst has DH created?!
DH has purposely eaten another one, because he now knows how disgusted I by it...

My mouth feels dry just reading your OP. Yuk!

I love mine toasted with cheese.
Got to be Booths hot cross buns, they are simply the best.

MrsEsss · 17/02/2020 21:12

Lemon curd? Cheese??

homemadecommunistrussia · 17/02/2020 21:14

Were they from asda? They need to be from asda, then au natural is fine.

MillieMoodle · 17/02/2020 21:15

Hot cross buns should be toasted and slathered in butter. Always. I feel so strongly about this that I started a thread about it on MN years ago, just to prove to DH that he is a monster for eating them untoasted.

@Thorilicious I can't even process the kit kat thing. What. The. Fuck Shock

DailyKegelReminder · 17/02/2020 21:23

Yum I'm with your DH here. From packet to mouth, same as scones.

Thorilicious · 17/02/2020 21:25

@homemadecommunistrussia they are indeed FROM Asda, but that's no excuse. Please don't encourage him...

@MillieMoodle he makes me watch him eat them wrong. I try not to buy kit kats any more...

I've never had them any other way! Toasted and buttery is the way. Anything else is wrong! Like eating jam on bread Envy

bedtimebrew · 17/02/2020 21:52

Noooo!!! Your son is very very wrong. The big bite Kitkat eating makes me want to cry ...

Ps Now I need asda hot cross buns

JayAlfredPrufrock · 17/02/2020 22:49

What’s wrong with jam on bread Confused

PenguinsOnParade · 17/02/2020 22:55

My DH does this too OP and I'm the same as you: must be toasted and buttered.

He now has youngest DD (his DSD) doing the same.

Marigold101 · 17/02/2020 22:58

I made a cheese sandwich with one tonight. Untoasted. Considered onion chutney but chickened out at the last minute, which I now regret. Lovely.

blackice · 17/02/2020 22:59

He's eating it the only way hot cross buns should be consumed.

ImportantWater · 17/02/2020 23:01

Hot cross buns may not be bought or eaten until Good Friday, so you are all savages.

PenguinsOnParade · 17/02/2020 23:06

I should add that my DH also eats them all year round. I don't even know how he finds them. I've caught him eating mince pies in the summer too.

Xmasbaby11 · 17/02/2020 23:08

I'll eat them any way! Always yummy.

happymummy12345 · 17/02/2020 23:25

&bianca can't beat a jam sandwich.

happymummy12345 · 17/02/2020 23:43

Also was the not envy comment in reference to my comment on another post? If so I'm not sure there's any need really..
