I think its a British tradition.

I think its a British tradition.
Not until now :]
Damn, knew I'd forgot something. No Hot Cross Buns! Still, got scampi for tea tomorrow.
Only in jolly old England! We Yanks prefer pizza and beer.
no i did not....
Wrong.
I only knew about the hot cross buns - until lunchtime today and a lady I work with asked what fish I was going to eat tomorrow - It took me a while to realise what she was talking about.
Hot cross buns are a traditional easter food but not necessarily just good friday. As for fish, I thinks somebody's winding you up. :-)
so they reckon
wot alot of crap
some do, some don't. good thing though, you have enlightened a few more.
i knew. i understand the fish bit as far as Christ death is concerned, but don't know the history of hot cross buns for good Friday!
yea ...and the tradition of fish comes from when it was a sin for catholics to eat meat on a friday and good friday was deemed a day of fast and abstinence!
It is very much an Irish thing, the Fish and the Hot Cross Buns. The End of Lent. Traditional Roman Catholic Custom.I am not fond of The Hot Cross Buns but I enjoy Fish at any time of the Year.
yes of course
I knew that fish was traditionally eaten, but I didn't know about the hot cross buns. I had fish tonight though ! Oh well....maybe i'll have a hot cross bun tomorrow :)
And all this time I thought 'hot cross buns' were referring to my wife! Ya mean they are something real! Well, I'll be!
Eating fish on Good Friday stems from the catholic church,as they aways ate no meat on Fridays anyway,so it is a tradition taken up generally.
