KZN locals share how they enjoy eating hot cross buns
As an Easter tradition, hot cross buns are a firm favourite, but how do you enjoy eating it?
Easter doesn't just bring up feelings of heritage, religion, and community, but it also brings tradition.
Tradition is such as important facet of our lives. It brings union, it brings culture, and it makes us feel fulfilled.
An Easter tradition that is quite popular in South Africa is pickled fish and hot cross buns. This combination is not something that everyone enjoys but it comes with a sense of tradition attached to it.
Knowing this tradition, we wanted to ask our Facebook community how they enjoyed their hot cross buns.
People came through on the East Coast Radio Facebook page to share how they enjoy hot cross buns. Check out some of the comments.
