...a hot cross bun. I think I smelled some cooking a couple of days ago. This must be the source of my desire.
This seems kind of wrong, given that hot cross buns are traditionally associated with Good Friday, a day noted for being a flexible feast but always falling two days before Easter Sunday, whereas today is a day noted for being seventeen days before Christmas Day, which is itself normally a good three months before Easter Sunday.
Hmm.
Tell you what, I'll have a toasted tea cake instead. I mean, that's almost a hot cross bun, but without the actual cross.
