Indeed the HCB is a butter delivery system - When prepared correctly (Slab method 3.5mm) cheese just looks try hard.
Will add to this the writing was on the wall when I researched them with bacon, years ago. It was crap. If you can’t make something work with bacon, you’re screwed.

They make a good bread n butter pudding. Not as good as panettone, but good.

You’re in the back pocket of Big Almond. When/how did they get you?

I did like the intro to the cheese section: “By this point in the taste test, I’m becoming uncomfortably full and frankly my scores can no longer be trusted”. All done in one session? Truly a service to the nation.
What is this cosplay bunista harping on about? Where’s the ‘claggy mouthfeel’? Talk of butters? Spicing, or derogatory fruit murmurings? Presentation plate anger?
Amateur hour.

We had Alban buns at the weekend, only available from the cathedral and their ancient recipe unique to St Albans.
They were shit. Stale, but they were dry anyway. Underspiced (they go on about the subtle use of cardamom, sure was too subtle for my liking) and not enough fruit.
I was hoping to be able to boast about the superiority of my lovely city via a product none of you could easily get, and instead I’ve actually thrown one of the four away despite costing £3.50 each and being royally ripped off wasn’t even the worst thing, they were that shit.
I’ll have to try the artisanal bakery next, to salvage my superiority complex.

Hahaha — post 116 carries the day.
For it is written (somewhere in the lost margins of the Book of Joab):
cleanse, with fire, the tyrant bun makers.
And lo, the ovens roared, and the spiced treats trembled.
God-given ire is best.
