Should we be able to eat mince pies and hotcross buns all year round

[Sticks]

This morning at the co-op I got a packet of hot cross buns :thumbs2:

Which set me thinking, why can I not get Mince pies at Easter time

Or is it wrong that I can get the hot cross buns during advent?

At my parents home I used to have a tradition of Hot cross buns at Christmas, and Christmas pudding at Easter

Does anyone else like eating food out of season

[hannah.]

I don't like mince pies one little bit.

I do eat hot cross buns all year round though, they're not really that difficult to find, and if they are, currant teacakes are basically exactly the same but without the cross, I had one in the café yesterday haha

also, lmao at this being in serious debates

I don't really like Christmas pudding either. I don't think I've ever had it in my own house, I normally have it with extended family.

Christmas cake is a different matter, however. Last year I made my mum make me a Christmas cake as my birthday cake. Although that isn't a massive deal seeing as my birthday's in December [4 DAYS]

I hate them both, but people will appreciate them more if they can't get them as much?

yeah who needs to be bored out of thier skins by news of the baby P fiasco, or terroism around the world when we havent yet settled the "biggies" in life.

Anyway back to my easter egg, and I have Valentine cards to write :joker::laugh3::laugh:

[supernoodles!]

i dont like either,love xmas pud though but could only eat it at xmas it just wouldn`t be right.

[NettoSuperstar!]

Yeh its a serious matter I think either way, it spoils the festive period for me if you can get the goods out of season! My Xmas would be ruined if I could get mince pies in summer! Please nooooo

[Sticks]

Well I managed to get hot cross buns again today

[NettoSuperstar!]

Yeh Ive seen hot cross buns, Im not so fussed about easter but still they shoudnt do it! I wont be buying any till then

[Sunny_01]

Its manufacturers who make things seasonal, I like nothing more than Greggs special sweet mince pies but they only do them at christmas time :mad:

[MR.K!]

I <3 Mince meat pies ! Yum!

[mizzy25]

i like both. u can only get cadburys cream eggs @ easter too. currant teacakes r not the same as hot x buns and its not just the x that makes them different. 4 a start i warm my hot x buns in the oven and i toast teacakes and.. they taste different

[30stone]

They probably make mass amounts of money, like creme eggs people wait for a year to have one they buy quite a few, but now they are having sibstitutes such as the twist which has creme egg filling.

most seasonal things have some sort of alternative even if they arent as good.

[Greg.!]

NOOOOO
its tradition to only have mince pies at xmas
