To be furious about these ‘hot cross buns’

[Starchime22]

I’m watching what I eat at the moment and managed to resist all the Easter eggs at the supermarket, however I picked up a pack of four hot cross buns resolving to make them my one and only Easter treat. Imagine my fury and disgust to find that they are in fact chocolate chip and salted caramel hot cross buns! - I like chocolate, I like genuine salted caramel and I like hot cross buns. The combination of all those things, especially with the ‘salted caramel’ clearly being a horrible synthetic flavouring, is so disgusting that I’ve had to throw them all away. Except for the one that I ate to be completely sure that it was definitely disgusting.

AIBU?

YABU. The only place to buy hot cross buns on hot cross bun day is from your local bakery, not some in-store supermarket pale imitation substitute.

Hot cross buns are the food of the gods and superior in every way to teacakes and Easter eggs.

I feel sick

The exact same thing happened to me!

Chocolate and salted caramel too!

I didn't realise until I'd started eating one. All very disappointing.

In the end I fed them to DS. Evidently he didn't notice anything odd.

To add a potentially controversial note- I put marmite on my hot cross buns... makes the chocolate and caramel sooo much worse. Would not recommend.
