I'm not complaining. I like hotcross buns...... wish they were available all year :-D

I don't understand why there are "halal" hotcross buns, that doesn't make any sense :-S

halal & kosher hotcross buns & Easter eggs.

duh! :-S :-S :-S

The words aren't there, just the little symbols. :-S

I guess everything has to have a "proper" label on it.

:-(

Makes me MAD, mainly because I keep seeing "may contain traces of nuts" on products....... not good enough when you're allergic to peanuts.

Hot Cross Buns are available all year round in the UK.

They don't taste as good as the ones you used to get only on Good Friday though.

The only nuts that have been anywhere near those hot cross buns are the ones that made those labels ;-)
