Hot Cross Buns , Banoffee Or Cinnamon?

[Aircooledfool]

M&S offering banoffee hot cross buns, not tried them, got the trad ones instead.
I think banoffee wil have a lot more sugar added via the caramel.
Should I stay or should I go?

Banana and toffee in hot cross buns may Clash

I tend to stick to traditional, however I had some I think were sainsburys ones with bramley apple which were quite nice.

[Old_Geezer]

Get both.
Are you avoiding sugar ? If so maybe buy none.

[roopower]

I'm traditional all the way.

And me, those are buns, not hot cross buns.

1ozzy,
Yes they may indeed clash, but only when Londons calling to the faraway buns,
A weak pun is better than no bun

I adore the traditional ones but just the thought of chocolate, caramel, banoffee, apple versions actually make me heave.

[Aircooledfool]

OG,
Get both , too self indulgent
Get none, too abstemious
Oh no , what to do
And what if there is hidden G M in the HCBs?
I need help, but not from Mrs Trellis of Tunbridge Wells

[Aircooledfool]

Prude,
I have the feeling that you and I will never know the joys, or horrors of the banoffee ones.

[Aircooledfool]

Apologies
That should have read prudie, not prude
no pun (or bun) intended

[Prudie]

No probs, not 'currantly' a prude :-)

[Aircooledfool]

Groan,
my vitally important post is descending into Frankie Howerd/Larry Grayson territory,
BTW, “I’ll do the jokes”

[Prudie]

OK, can you spice them up then?

[Aircooledfool]

Oh cinnamon, where you gonna run to?

[Prudie]

jokes coming two a penny now

Sainsbury’s also do cheese, tomato and oregano hot cross buns. I do love traditional ones but these savoury ones I’d be prepared to try, I’d not bother with any of the other ones.
We always toast ours and I once bought chocolate ones with bits of chocolate in them..yes, the toaster needed high pressure hosing afterwards :/

[Aircooledfool]

I have fairly eclectic tastes when it comes to food, usually any way. I seem to have a “trad” wall when it comes to HCBs.
But oregano cheese tomato!,**! No way, that’s about as mad as garlic on bread, it will never catch on. Fortunately no Sainsburys with staggering distance, so i will not even be tempted.

[Vagus]

Oooh, aircooled, imagine them with bacon in, or spread with marmite, yum yum!

[1ozzy]

Pun on, you fool ;-)
