Apologies, I was assuming someone else had thrown a pint over you.

the article on the Alban Bun refers to Cardamom or Grains of Paradise (Aframomum melegueta) which is a species in the ginger family - I would expect the latter to impart a peppery citrus flavour and the former a spiced citrus flavour

Although the image shows green Cardomom, they could also mean black cardamom.

Perhaps @AmDismal can provide tasting notes to solve this mystery,

On the basis that it simply seemed a good idea? :rofl:

I’m expecting @Wayward and his staff to go headlong in finding the best hot cross bun West London has to offer. Anything less than a £1000 spent over the next 6 weeks will be deemed a failure imo

hold on a minute - we need to find the best hot cross bun - salted butter combo. £1k aint going to be enough with added foo butter.

…and cheese. Don’t forget the cheese.

87

I think I might be a bit out on a limb with that. I like in the same way I like a bit of strong cheddar with dark fruit cake or malt loaf (that’s another thing the benefits from decent salted butter)

Why do we need to specify salted butter every time the creamy lush stuff is mentioned, butter is always salted unless you are baking a sponge cake or you are a complete numfuck :roll_eyes:

When I was head chef at a Michelin restaurant,it was rice and cheese only. Tomatoes have only been added to the menu recently and is an optional extra

I spose you like beans on your hot cross buns then?

94

hmmmm - would you make a roux based sauce with salted butter? or hollandaise or other stuff.

95

Nope, but I am still expecting Oz to recommend HCBuns with Vegemite.

96

I’m not a complete savage :rage:

97

You’re proving my point :+1: Unsalted butter is for food prep. Only.

98

My waistline hasn’t gone down any since the pie exploration!

Will see what we can do…

We do need to be running a Foo butter survey along side this investigation.
