...to think a hot cross bun is a snack?

[okayokaywhatsnext]

I just love them. Buttered and sandwiched back together or toasted and buttered. In place of a cookie/crisps/slice of cake as a snack. DH thinks they’re a sandwich alternative and should be filled with cheese or jam and eaten with crisps/fruit etc as part of a meal.

Toasted, for breakfast.

Your husband must have no taste buds. Does he make sandwiches out of iced buns, sweet muffins and Danish pastries too?

I just had one now as a snack haha. The M&S Brantley apples ones are amazing!

Not hot cross buns, but my Dad used to make sandwiches of fruit tea cakes filled with cheese and jam (together). We would have them as a packed lunch with a flask of coffee for a day out. Happy days.

’ DH thinks they’re a sandwich alternative and should be filled with cheese or jam’

The man's lost the plot! Hot Cross Buns are more like scones than they are anything else. Jam I can just about understand but CHEESE - he's doing it wrong!

Bloody hell, OP. You've married a monster

Did you know he was a weirdo when you married him???

Thing is though, fruit cake and cheese is a classic combo,

Agree. LTB. He's sub-human. Cheese? What is wrong with him?

Incidentally I'm just about to have an M&S blueberry Hot Cross Bun as a snack. They taste and smell superb. I also like their Salted Caramel ones but the Blueberry are my favourites now. I wouldn't give you a thank you for their Bramley Apple ones though.

they are a snack.

They are best toasted then buttered and mature cheddar on top.

But then I also love Christmas cake and other fruit cakes with cheese too. Stilton is my favourite with Christmas cake.

Snack, toasted, with butter but I have to peel off that awful chewy tasteless cross.

Snack? Wtf? They’re breakfast, surely?

A bun for breakfast? With cheese topping? Are you all mad?

(OP DH needs a word).

I like warm ones with no butter.

I would have them instead of a sandwich.

A couple toasted with plenty of butter, and then maybe crisps for afters.
Now you're talking. But those M&S chilli and cheese ones are a travesty. Played havoc with my bowels as well.

Cheese???? No no no no! Aldi chocolate fudge hot cross buns are THE BEST but normal ones should be eaten with butter, preferably toasted.

I can only conclude that the demise of afternoon tea has left people stranded, with only the sad little term 'snack' to cling helplessly on to.

Your DH is weird!!

Would he have a toasted teacake with cheese in it and crisps on the side? Weirdo.

I don’t like them but you’d eat them in the same way as you’d eat a scone. Maybe mid morning or afternoon tea.

They are delicious with extra mature cheddar on! Or just toasted with butter melting through. Or plain and not even sliced, eaten like a soft funny shaped apple.

Cheese in a hot cross bun! Is this some kind of sick joke?!

What kind of fucked up childhood led him to believe that 🤔.

Try the Iceland own brand ones warmed in a low oven, no palm oil do there’s no clagginess in your mouth.

My dad puts cheese in a hot cross bun, makes no sense to me.

@MerryDeath. Cop on! If you were making me toasted hot cross buns I’d wake you at 5:30 every morning too!

Water, at most Gruel, until a social hour if you want him to stop waking you up!

They’re actually delicious with Philadelphia style cream cheese! takes cover
