[Food] What is the best half of a hot cross bun?

[Moshe Gariani]

Maybe i'm a monster, but i NEVER slice a HCB in half, straight out the packet into my gaping cavern. Mmmmmmm

Best answer so far. How many of a packet of 4 usually get demolished in the first wave...?

HCB on my list of items that will not last a day in the house.

 

[arewethereyet?]

I agree. My wife grew up round the corner from Ravens and swore for years the HCB from there were the best. I wasn't that impressed tbh when I eventually tried one, and wondered why people queue all the way down the road for them.

Can’t wait for the annual feature in the Argus.

Living in a house with the bride and 2 mini Monsters, seconds.

Can’t stand dried fruit, so sitting this one out.

That said, I had a cheese one from M&S over the weekend with bacon in it. Game changer.

BACON?

WTF?

Burn him. Burn the witch.

Burn him. Burn the witch.

If you burn me I’ll just use it to cook more bacon. I won’t be stopped.

What is this 'halves' nonsense?

Pick the thing up, dunk it in your coffee and eat.

Not a half in sight.

Oh dear heaven. And they say there is no such thing as the devil walking on Earth.

UP THE BOTTOM, so to speak!

To merge two threads I'm on at the moment, I suspected my mum's dementia was progressing when she made lunch for herself and it was a HCB cut in half with a custard cream inside it. Another of her concoctions was HCB with smoked mackerel and strawberry yoghurt.

What doesn't kill you etc....

She's eating.

If you'd dunked in tea I could have embraced the idea but I can't have a hcb going near coffee.
Dunking panettone in coffee is fine though.
No it doesn't make sense.

I always try and avoid being abusive on this forum, but all I could think of reading this was ‘animal’.

(And the correct answer is top half, toasted with butter)

Especially as I use a finger to apply butter/marg

 

[Frutos]

Bottom, clearly.

My husband prefers the tops for some weird reason, so it all works out.

The first one sounds ok, tbf.

 

[Triggaaar]

The doughy bottom or the glazed/crossed top?

There's clearly a difference and I now feel quite stupid for not thinking about it before

 

[Cotton Socks]

Bottom, lightly toasted, with shed loads of butter. In my quest to get the bottom toasted to perfection in the toaster, the top half sometimes gets burnt and I have been known to bin the top half if the burning is excessive.

There are clubs you can go to.
