Hot cross buns. Top stuff, right up there with winter ale as one of our greatest seasonal foods. Should be available all year.

    No, the joy of seasonal food is that it's seasonal. I want to look forward to it and notice the changing of the seasons, not have hothouse strawberries in February.

    New potatoes, shell fish in months with an R, strawberries in June and July, cherries in June, raspberries in October, asparagus in early summer, spanish apricots in June and July and lots more

    I'm with you on the fresh produce Hans, but buns and beer are manufactured.

    Yeah I was wondering if hot cross buns were a Berry or root crop

    Christmas pudding is terrific in late December.  But I imagine it would be like a turgid fat-filled football in mid Summer.

    Just buy teacakes which are basically hot cross buns without the cross.

    The salted caramel and chocolate hot cross buns in M&S are next level.

    Chilli cheese ones are decent too.

    Always used to love the smell of hot cross buns wafting over from them baking in the big Hovis factory by Northumberland Heath.

    I'm fully with this. I like that certain foods aren't available year round, it makes you look forward to the time of year that your favourites are available, and they taste better for not being around year round...

    I take your point, though as I dislike the short days of winter, I still prefer to have seasonal dark fireside beers to look forward to in the autumn.
