Thanks to the stocking habits of local supermarkets, Col 8 is well ahead with Easter discussions, but while we are there, let us continue. John Bunyan of Campbelltown asks, “Does a ‘not cross bun’ just lack a cross? If so, what makes them different from any ordinary bun?reminds us that, in pre-jingle days, they were simply called ‘cross buns’, eaten on Good Friday. Now, I call them Christian buns, perhaps with ancient pagan precedents.
Ruth Saunders of Dulwich Hill says we should “forget about Easter buns being on sale on 24 December. A large Chinese online retailer is now showing me ads for their ‘Halloween Giveaway’. Very early or extremely late?” Regarding feeding caviar to toddlers , Judith Campbell replies, “Our family was sharing a meal with some visiting Russian scientists who brought the caviar as a gift. We encouraged our children to eat what we were eating. There were fewer fussy eaters in those days.”
