I just ate a Belgian bun

[poshme]

I went to the shop to buy some spinach.
They didn't have any. So I bought a Belgian bun.

For various reasons the last few weeks have been quite tough. I don't usually eat cakes or biscuits, but the Belgian bun just jumped out at me.

So I've made a nice coffee and just eaten it.
Totally unnecessary.

But gosh it was delicious!

Belgium buns are my absolute favourites. Now you mention it I don't think I've had one since Covid began. Was it soft or firm? Did the cheey stay on when you bit into it?

What’s a Belgian bun? Does it involve chocolate??

My favourite is Pret’s danish.

Good for you, we all need a treat now and then. Much nicer than spinach,

But is definitely an acceptable substitution for spinach. I would even dream of complaining If Ocado did that.

Admit it... your Gwyneth Paltrow aren't you?

Oooh, lovely!

I ate an M&S custard-filler choux bun in bed last night. The pastry went everywhere but I felt so decadent (and itchy).

Feel no guilt op.. After all it's easier on the eye stuck in your teeth unlike spinach!!

A round fruited dough bun, thick white icing and a cherry on top. Yum.

The best bun.
Greggs sell a particularly pleasant fresh cream one

I'm belgian, live in Belgium and I have no idea what a belgian bun is! Pls help!

Is a Belgian bun the same as a Chelsea bun?

I am addicted to M&S iced buns. They are so delicious.

What the hell? That's not even something that's sold here at the bakery 😂

What kind of dough is it made of?

I’ll need to buy one for research. Not very keen on icing, but that can be fixed.

So in the absence of spinach you bought a Belgian bun? You are my kind of people

There is a second one.

(I'm not Gwyneth Paltrow)

I’m sure it’s better for your wellbeing than spinach.

@LienD it's sweet squishy dough with raisins (not too many which is good)

I never knew those were called Belgian buns.

Incidentally, I recently reread The Nun's Story (which is about a Belgian nun) and hence keep misreading your title as 'I ate a Belgian nun.' Which is actually even more fun as a substitution for spinach.

Sometimes they have cinnamon in as well. The one in the picture is a bit high!

🤣

Yes.

Though I now have to rethink dinner as that involved spinach.
Not sure the kids will be happy with 1/4 of a Belgian bun instead of spanakopita.

Don't waste the bun on the kids....can they not just have cheese spanikopita? Impressed your making that am scared of filo!
