I guess if they are labeled  "no fruit" it is not misleading

Seggie.  Felt much the same when I bought muffins.  Three minute pieces of fruit on top and nothing inside.  They used to have fruit through the mixture but now it seems they are saving money.  Did they go back? You bet they did. 

I can be a bit weird at times  BUT forever and an Easter :) we ONLY eat Hot Cross Buns on Good Friday. Have to admit we do eat Pancakes on other days than Shrove Tuesday lol but hey the idea of the pancakes is to use up (once upon a time when dripping was the go ) use up all the dripping and pantry stock to begin the famine of Lent. 

Life's good hey 

Seggie. Hi Phyl. Wasn't the dripping from roast beef (rare occasion) just wonderful on toast with salt and pepper? And oh, the fights in our house as to who got the brown jelly under the dripping? So, nowadays, imagine the looks we would get if we did that. Funny thing, farmfolk in our family lived to well into their late nineties. I've often wondered if it was all the very hard work they did from dawn till dusk that kept them healthy.

Yes we were just talking about how long lived the farm folks were and they ate plenty of fat and such.   Must have been the pureness of it all in those time ???

Seggie again. I loved when on  Aunt's farm, I could wander through the wheat and eat it there and there.  My job was to mix shell grit, pollard, etc. for the chooks and I loved eating that too.  Looking back, I even helped myself to some of the greens I chopped up for the animals too.  Makes me wonder what the young ones would have to say about that.

er um dear Seggs. not sure 'bout that there shell grit but hey you are doing o.k. so did not harm you matey.

I am VERY excited as Peter and I are going to a REALLY free range chicken farm tomorrow to buy eggs where they have so much grass we were told they are very happy as albeit always buy free range eggs not happy with Coles etc. giving them such a small area - greedy people make me SO sick where animals are concerned

Did anyone see the poor pigs and chooks on the news (I think it was actually an ad) dreadful. We have found pork and bacon with the free range pigs but I am close to becoming a Vegetarian and I do not really want to be. 

REAL Free range eggs are wonderful.We used to keep a few chooks years ago ! Lucky you :-) Enjoy.

I don,t eat any dried fruit so will be looking out for those hot cross buns as a rare chance to enjoy one without making a mess picking out bits . Not sure why because flavour doesn,t put me off so much as texture and with some fruits that tangy taste taste . Have the same problem with boston buns although not all have dried fruit in them .

 Still its a valid point that people expect a traditional hot cross bun . I need glasses to read fine print but never bother to take them with me for shopping . I used to read small print on labels but most of it is crap anyway . Made in Australia from local and imported goods , meaningless .

There is no difference between a free range egg and a battery egg.

The chook might be happier but geesh a chook is a chook.

I know from farming them that a freely roaming hen picks up mites and fleas plus worms therefore costing more to feed and keep in good health.

Because you don't eat bread and dripping you are living longer. Most of you are past you use by date now.

I agree that the way animals are treated to serve the  human race is obscene !

Seggie. Dear delightful Davey. So how old are you?  We oldies realise that it's one day at a time.  Not quite sure how your brain works at times.

Are you sure that he has one?
