Mince Pies at Easter!

Out shopping to day I spotted 'Easter mincepies'! Tescos are selling mince pies with a cross on the top. (Mince pies are traditonally eaten only at Christmas.) What ever next ? Chocolate turkeys?

Traditional Food at Easter
Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday
Roast Lamb on Easter Sunday -
Simnel Cake ( a rich fruit cake)
Easter Eggs

Have you found something being sold at the wrong time of year?

    My mother always made her Christmas puddings by hand, in advance of Christmas to give them time to mature. She would then leave one in a cool dark place and serve it on Easter Sunday. ( and it was always as fresh and lovely!)
