Several times I've passed the bakery in Tesco, yearning to buy some Hot Cross Buns, or, as Tesco and everyone else nowadays refer to them as, potato bread. How could a nice and emotive name like Hot Cross Buns be turned into a plain and drab sounding Potato Bread, is beyond me.
They are usually served on Good Friday, although I believe there were raisins in the bread back then. I'm not a fan of raisins, so no big loss. I have vague memories of eating them in church when I was a kid.
I finally bought some today, and they taste pretty good. Sweet, custard-like aroma.
