It's that time again: what bizarre Easter flavours are you seeing in the shops?

🥚🍫🧁🥚🍫🧁

Last year's examples included Co-op's 'masala & chilli hot cross buns', Aldi's 'hot cross bun pudding' and Costa's 'hot cross bun latte'. See more of them in 2022's Strange hot cross bun & Easter egg flavours thread.

Technically I haven't seen it in a shop, but hot cross bun mayo is certainly bizarre!

I wouldn't say no to any of the above!

Spotted at the cheese counter in Morrisons today: chocolate and orange flavoured white Stilton 250g, shaped like a yellow Easter egg,

You used the wrong emoji!

I agree with pumpkin89. That's a great sounding combination, and I would give them a home in my tummy.
I do remember having a slice of cheese, or a dollop of a good cream cheese in hot cross bun, to cut the sweetness but not with pickle.
