Tesco shoppers divided over PINK hot cross buns with retro flavour TESCO shoppers have expressed mixed reactions to the introduction of a new hot cross bun flavour featuring a pink design.
A HOT cross bun is a spiced sweet bun made with yeast, typically containing dried fruits like raisins or currants and marked with a cross on top.
Now available in stores well ahead of Easter, the UK's largest supermarket is offering rhubarb & custard hot cross buns as part of its seasonal range.
One tradition even suggests that hot cross buns baked on Good Friday will not go mouldy for a year.
Another shopper jokes: "So I'm usually a purist when it comes to hot cross buns but tempted to make an exception here.".
