Moving to
UK is proving to be very exciting.
Living on a different timeline is a bit
confusing for first few days. Discovering new walks of culture is fun. One such
tiny bit of fun was actually eating a 'hot cross bun'.
I believed these were
mythical sorts of eatables only existing in nursery rhymes until I actually saw
one!
It is a traditional recipe in the list of Easter recipes and it is
customary to eat these on Good Friday.
I asked an elderly woman what the cross
stands for and she replied,
" It symbolizes the crucifixion of the Christ my dear!"
And yes; the bun costs more than a penny....
