Easter time is now in full swing and I would like to disturb your peace by raising a contentious opinion. Hot cross buns are not good. Now, hear me out. There are alternative types that can be made into something yummy, but the humble traditional fruit hot cross bun is not even good.
People wait with bated breath for these to hit the shelves on boxing day. I understand these are probably the best sellers at this time of year in all our favourite bakeries but, regardless of what the stats say, I’m calling it how it is. I have never understood the hype and, in fact, I’ll go so far as to say I have never eaten a hot cross bun by choice. Last year I used my subjective tastebuds to help find the best hot cross bun in Mackay and the Whitsundays along with a panel of bun lovers. While a noble and exciting endeavor for many, it simply reaffirmed to me that I will never enjoy a hot cross bun despite how ‘good’ it is in terms of what they’re meant to taste like.
Chocolate, on the other hand, I am a huge advocate for, and I encourage you to consume as much as you can across the long weekend. Also, while there’s still time and if you haven’t already, jump onto the Star 101.9 website and register yourself for Star’s Shop Til You Drop. We are giving one person and their friend a $10,000 trip to Los Angeles! Flights, accommodation, spending money - it’s all sorted. It could be all yours so don’t miss out!
If you have already registered you need to keep it locked on Star because your name could be broadcast in our boarding calls and you need to ring 1300 89 19 29 in time to get your name on the shortlist.
Happy Easter to you all!
