What is the traditional pastry eaten in England people at easter?

‘Hot cross buns’ are baked and eaten on easter Friday – they are raisin-filled buns, marked with a cross (for obvious reasons) – they taste best toasted with lots of butter and enjoyed with a nice cup of tea. I’ll save you searching frantically for the recipe – Jamie Oliver Website

What is the ‘Nutters Dance’?

Every easter Saturday, for over 100 years, the Britannia Coco-nutters (https://www.coconutters.co.uk/) perform an typical English dance to celebrate Easter along the streets of the town of Bacup in England. What serious English nonsense would perform such a thing without a few stops at the pubs along the way?

What is a ‘Peep’ and how many are eaten in the US at easter?

What happens in the White house at easter?

No, this is not a trick question… the White House Egg Roll is an annual race where real children push eggs through the grass of the White House’s lawn with long-handled spoons. The tradition began in 1878 when President Rutherford B. Hayes opened up the South Lawn to children.
