I have been asked by fellow bloggers to give my opinion on the M & S Cheesy Hot Cross buns. Well, the only thing that made them hot cross buns was the pastry cross on the top. There the resemblance ended... but... they were a delicious savoury bun 😋 When toasted and buttered they were hot, soft in the middle and extremely cheesy. I ate one for lunch on Saturday served with peppery rocket and a juicy tomato......
I certainly wouldn't pay full price but they were OK for the 92p I paid for them 👍 They would be lovely with a poached egg on top too but would never be a substitute for the sweet version, obviously 😉 G didn't want to try them so 2 have been frozen for another day.
I haven't managed to get my free chocolate egg yet. In Sainsburys they were priced at £1.25 (need to be £1.50) and the next price point was £4. I didn't bother buying one because I wouldn't normally spend on an egg and to spend £4 to get £1.50 back seemed silly. I'll try another supermarket.
Today I needed bread and some salad stuff so £4.83 spent and added to the total below.
Thanks so much for popping in and please be safe wherever in the world you happen to be x

Thanks for the report on the buns.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Good to hear a report on the buns.
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to get pulled in by an offer isn't it, but unless you can find an egg for the right price I agree it is silly to spend any more than you need to for something that you wouldn't normally buy.
Yes, Sue, I simply didn't see the point in buying a £4 egg just to get £1.50 back.
DeleteWell it was hot, and had a cross, I've also heard of chocolate ones. I shall be making a batch of the traditional ones on Friday all being well. x
ReplyDeleteThat sounds lovely :)
DeleteGlad you liked the cheesy hot cross buns; the price sounds pretty good, too!
