One a penny, two a penny, hot cross buns.
So why buy one when you can get two for the same price?!
I was singing this earlier and thought I'd put a collection of crosses together to relate to that Jesus fella and the buns.
I also had an idea to mention the story about the East London bun pub but, yet again, the Gentle Author has got there first, and done a way better job than I could have, so here's the link to it.
Various London crosses below. And here's a previous Easter collection.
Top: Holloway Rd, Kings Cross, Holloway Rd, Smithfield
Middle: Bloomsbury, Greenway, Temple, Battersea
Bottom: Carey St, Euston, W1, Holloway
Any recommendations for HCBs that actually taste like HCBs? All they seem to be is tasteless bog standard buns, with a papery cross stuck on the top. Have so far tried Sainsburys Taste the Difference, and Asda cranberry and orange. Both rubbish. Please canvas your readers.

Well Ms Hotncross from Hertford, I do concur. haven't bought any for years for that very reason. Like shop-bought mince pies they are always disappointing. The tea cake was always superior to the HCB anyway.
