How do you like your Hot Cross buns?
Warm or cold?
Buttered? Jam/Jelly? Other additions?
With a drink?

Plain is fine with me.

...I haven't had a hot cross bun in ages. It's been at least since high school.

They're sweet buns, typically baked in 3×4 formation in a pan, crossed with white sugar icing.

...it's possible they're mostly a Catholic/Midwestern thing.

Oh hey, sounds pretty good. Warm with jam, then, and milk. Not picky with this kinda stuff though, I'd try it any way.

Never had one, but they look pretty tasty.

The ones I've had have been a bit on the sour side; I don't know if that's intentional to emulate the downbeat of the crucifixion, or if it was just that the bakery my family got them from wasn't very good.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

We get fruit (mixed dried fruit baked into the sweet bread dough) ones, chocolate chip ones, and plain (no fruit, but still slightly sweet). I prefer mine lightly toasted with butter melting into it. I don't eat the choc chip hot cross buns at all.
