Ham, Lamb and Chocolate Bunnies

Easter Foods: History & Symbolism

I haven't had hot cross buns in years. I wouldn't even know where to get them.

We learned this in school:
Hot cross buns,
Hot cross buns,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
Buy them for your daughters,
Buy them for your sons,
One a penny, two a penny,
Hot cross buns.
We'd get them from the bakery, fresh and sometimes warm. Mom used to glare at me because I scraped the icing that formed the cross off the top. I'm sorry: I hate icing.
