I can understand a vegan not wanting to eat an Easter egg, but this seemed an odd alternative. There seem to be a lot of dinosaurs, unicorns and crocodiles in the Easter treats aisle.

M&S has this rather odd mash-up between a hot cross bun and an egg:



and also a BLT HCB with bonus MoneySaving yellow sticker (I saw a tweet from a retired bishop denouncing this once, albeit tongue in cheek): 

Hot cross bun bacon butties are AMAZING.

I saw hot cross bun marmalade today.

Apologies if I have the wrong end of the stick, but there's a difference between eating food that looks like something and eating food that has the something in it. For example, I'd happily eat a cake that looked like a jumper, but I wouldn't eat a cake that had a jumper baked into it.

Tried a McDonald's hot cross bun pie at lunchtime. Not bad. Don't fancy the hot cross bun latte they're also offering.

Reminds me of Greg Davies' pie routine

Much as I dislike McD's, I am strangely tempted to buy a pie and divide it by 4 for a taste testing (family over later).

ETA: maybe not!
