What are you eating at Easter?

Marianne72

Having little energy, I'm going to make tiffin for Easter - an easy, no bake fridge cake. As it contains chocolate and biscuits [ginger nuts are very nice in this] I'm going to try not buying easter eggs. I'm hoping to freeze some of the chicken pie I baked today [exhausted after all the work!] and might have that with roasties and broad beans.

Incidentally, does anyone know why the latter seem to have disappeared from the supermarkets? And you never see them or peas in the pod in supermarkets. I must find my nearest farmer's market.

  • I'd bought NEW* Co-op Chocolate Chick Eggs 80g £1 member price and usually share them.

    Chocolate has gone up, so I look for price per 100g or price per unit. 

    Traditional hot cross buns.

  • It's the usual meals for me around Easter as it is any other time of the year - I get easter eggs from family members and buy easter eggs for family. I find it good that I have the same meals around Easter and the only thing that happens is us getting Easter Eggs

  • I have not yet decided on the household menu for Easter Sunday.

    Although I do not eat chocolate Easter eggs, on each Wednesday; I do allow myself 1 square of Lindt Excellence Dark 70% Cocoa Intense Dark Chocolate (I do just mean 1 square...not 1 bar!).  It is designed to elevate midweek Wednesday to the status of a celebration.

    I'm not Christian but I like the Easter sentiment of renewal. I usually buy an egg but they are too overpriced - as is all the chocolate. I enjoy tiffin with a large cup of chai.

    I couldn't find any broad beans in Tesco at Barnstaple, so I'll query this. I like the action of shelling. It's very relaxing.

  • Unless we have visitors the same as I'd normally eat on those days, if we have viisitors then it won't be me who's cooking and I'll have whatever my kids decide to cook for me.

    Not being a Christian, I don't celebrate easter and I rather resent all the assumptions that I do and wish to do so with a load of overpriced chocolate. I'm seeing all the early born lambs being taken off to market now for peoples easter dinners.

    Our tesco does frozen broad beans and morrisons sometimes have fresh ones, I love the feel of the inside of the pods
