Pineapple: how much is too much?
Should an atheist remove the cross from the bun before eating it, and if she does, is she removing the hot cross from the bun, or the cross from the hot bun?
And from the puppies: solid food? Well, okay.

I bought a HXB from the caff at work yesterday. I heated it up in the microwave and was disturbed to see some fat in the cross seep through to the paper bag, leaving an outline that looked like Jesus on the cross. Perhaps I should have saved it and sold it on eBay.
Or you could have paraded around the caff with it held aloft then invited your coworkers to say a prayer with you over it before eating it, thus having your bun and eating it too.
There is no such thing as too much pineapple.
Where’d you get that scar? Eating pineapple?
Arggh arghhh… it be a dangerous world we live in me hearties. Oh.. speak like a pirate day isn’t for a while is it? Bother.
I think that as we now live in a world where Hot Cross Buns are sold all year around “because our customers like the taste”, it is perfectly possible to separate the Hot Cross Bun from the historical origin, and simply see it as a contemporarily tasty treat.
Good point, Barry–I seem to remember from childhood that HCBs were sold as “spicy fruit buns” at other times of the year–the crosses were only added round Easter.
Harvestmother (being an Anglican) was quite strict about only eating the crossed variety in the appropriate season (ie Holy Week and Good Friday).
Archie, you must be careful with pirate-speak–you don’t want to enrage the ninjas.
