creme eggs spotted

There's been small and creme Easter eggs in Sainsburys and Waitrose for weeks (I'm not sure if they ever stopped selling them after Easter?)
The Cadbury eggs are nauseatingly revolting

We've been buying hot cross buns all year.

1974cookiebrilliant but dont give them ideas

DSIL has been abroad for work recently, and returned with gifts for the DGC - Christmas-themed Kinder eggs...!!!
Now that really is taking the conflation of Christmas and Easter too far...

So the future is:
Hot Cross Mince pies.
Cadbury Creme reindeer
?

I adore cream eggs, wish I could find some. I also have hot cross buns toasted in the afternoon. Better than tea cakes.

Have not eaten a creme egg since Cadbury spoilt them by selling out to Americans

yuk yuk yuk - btw Creme eggs recipe has been changed to use even cheaper ingredients, and are defo no longer made by Cadbury's - but by Amercican group Modelez - those who have replaced cocoa butter with tons of dreadful Virgin rainforest orang outang killing palm oil

I eat mince pies and hot cross buns all year round. Will Baby Jesus be offended? I do hope not.

And creme eggs are by Cadbury, what do they care about anyone's feelings as long as they are making a profit, putting people out of work after promising not to.

Easter eggs were not a religious symbol, and if they are sold as 'creme eggs' all the year round then they are nothing to do with Easter at all.

The egg, an ancient symbol of new life, has been associated with pagan festivals celebrating spring.
From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs are said to represent Jesus' emergence from the tomb and resurrection.
Yet another pre-Christian pagan symbol which Christianity has appropriated.

Not so different from Kinder eggs really, and they are on sale all year round. I bought one for DGS this morning, he doesn't eat the chocolate but collects the models.

My local card shop was displaying a section for Valentines Day cards.Premature? nothing surprises me any more.

A friend of my mum who is deeply religious was in tears shouting at a tesco manaher on NYE that jesus had only just been born & they were getting ready to crucify him by having easter eggs on display! Poor lady was very distressed ?

I totally agree -sooooo sickly and sweet

That is early, bad enough the day after Boxing Day ?

Sad that retailers want to rush us through life, half the fun is anticipation......all those year round strawberries hanging about waiting for a taste and cream eggs about to go in advent calenders I shouldn't wonder.

Life is delicious, give us time to taste it.

So happy to hear this, next week Im coming to the UK, and MUST take loads home, dont have them here,and I LOVE them, best news today!

Ha Ha ha. Perhaps, they are for sale all year round, and people don't really notice them except when they are SO out of season?
My GS told me in March that his step father [who is a lorry driver] was taking 100,000 creme eggs from A to B. I find them revolting, so Yuck!

I just had toasted hot x buns for breakfast ? I bought them as they were reduced, but thought I had picked up Tea Cakes , anyway, they were delicious.

Seriously I would like to know if anyone sees proper Easter Eggs (not the yukky creme eggs) in the shops before 23rd Jan. I'm off to Beijing again and DD always likes me to take easter Eggs as they are either unobtainable or VERY expensive there.

My birthday is December 29th yay now I can have Christmas birthday Easter new year all in one week

wont be long and we will all be celebrating easter and xmas together!!

Yuk they are the most disgusting chocolate sweets. Horribly sickly.

A good bar of dark chocolate gingers are another matter.
