Easter Eggs?
 

What does everyone do for Easter Eggs as the chocolate is vile here? Plus they don't have very imaginatively themed eggs do they?

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Do they have Yorkie Easter Egs?

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

McDonald's creme egg mcflurry is probably as close as I'll get to buying easter eggs this year.

You're right though the chocolate they use in the eggs is vile.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I like the ones in mugs as they are useful as they are delicious. :thumbup:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Bought a lovely bag of 40 belgian chocolate hollow eggs in Costco a few weeks ago. They were about the size of those silly Kindle eggs, and cost about $11.

I'm not sure how it happened - there don't seem to be any left in the cupboard now.

(I think they are all hidden in our stomachs - I don't make a very good Easter Bunny now, do I?) :lol:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I've seen those Lindt bunnies in the shops who usually boast about how world class their chocolate is so can't imagine they allow their name to be soiled by using shite chocolate. Tried them in the UK and they are very more-ish so are they not equally as good here?

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

As usual I'll be waging war against the Liiliputians next door. Opening the pointy end is so small minded.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

You bastard! Just the other day I opened 3 lovely soft boiled peace fruit and marveled at the grace and economy of effort I achieved by slicing at the narrow end. I‘ll never :thumbup:look at you the same, Novocastrian.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Goddamit. Why can't you simply accept that Brobdingnad has it right!!!!!

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I've seen a few shops selling proper Aero and Smarties easter eggs but that's about all.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Thanks. I was hoping to get a Rasta Mouse and Da Easy Crew themed egg. :)

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I caved in and popped to the local British shop for some "quality" (but slightly expensive) British eggs. :eek:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Now that would be quality! :rofl:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Caved and bought one at the weekend - not so much of an egg, more like a chocolate shaped cat with a bow in its hair.

Troughed it down and felt sick. That NEVER used to happen in the UK :frown:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

As a kid I used to get Lindt (sp?) chocolate bunnies in a tray, about 10 in the box.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

If Swift and TH White were to watch the news these days I think they‘d be dismayed. The hopes they must have held for their work to change mens‘ lives.....
Opening a softboiled at the small end saves breaking the yolk - much neater.
As a child we coloured eggs by dying them, painting a pattern on with wax, dying in a different colour then removing the wax. Chocolate wasn‘t such a huge part of the holiday, but only at Easter my mother would bake ‘paska‘, an eastern European specialty bread. It was loaded with eggs and very rich and she baked it in tin cans to make cylindrical loaves. I looked forward to that bread as much as anything.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

That's posh! :p

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I am hoping for a Bernard Callebaut chocolate egg to appear. Note hope - doubt it unless it is me going to the shop.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Get you ;) And I thought we was posh when my nan used to get me a Postman Pat one with Maltesers in it.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Ugh. How chavy.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I buy my kids the Lindt bunnies, mini eggs and normally go to the Brit shop to get a big decent egg. Although bloody expensive doing that, I just can not bring myself to buy the cheap crappy North American chocolate, it is sacrilegious!

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I suppose you don't realize things are chavy when you're a kid. :( On reflection it was quite an insensitive gift as my mum had buggered off with a man called Frank from the GPO, although apparently he was in telephone division rather than the postal service.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

:rofl:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

So he was checking her wiring rather than giving her 1st class delivery :lol:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

It'd be funny if it wasn't sad. He came round to put in one them slim line phones in but kept coming back to check it was working. I came home from school one afternoon to find my dad and my nan in the kitchen smoking with quite worried looks on their faces and I never saw my mum again. Still, I like British Easter eggs so I might pop down to Steveston later in the week and go to the British shop there and get one. :thumbup:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Just got all mine from walmart. cadbury Buttons, Samrties, Aero. No probs. :thumbsup:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

But did you check the packaging to see where they were made.
Have they been made in Canada under licence or are they actually from the UK.
Enquiring minds need to know before I venture into the hell known as WalMart.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

You don't make many of them but that's a good point.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I go to Pete's and purchase British ones. Job done:thumbup:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

My cursory examination a couple of weeks ago was that all the chocolate was of the the North American variety. Mind you I didn't linger as too many minutes spent in Walmart makes me feel dirty.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I do my best with what Ive got to work with :lol:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Capitalist bastards again making profits :lol:

Robbing bastards
Nestle’s Retro Smarties Mug and Egg cost £4.99 two years ago at Tesco but is now £7 at the same store — 40 per cent up.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Fatties are like smokers and drinkers. They'll pay any price to get their fix. Hopefully a portion of profits will go to the NHS to help pay for fatty illnesses.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Oh I can see Cadburys just writing that cheque out now to the NHS or any
Canadian Provincial or Territorial Health Department :rofl:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Maybe the 40% is a Fat Tax :thumbup:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

Oh dear well I'm not a fatty but I think I will be as a whole bag of Cadbury's assorted eggs just kinda fell into my mouth by accident :eek:

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

I go to the UK for Easter - guaranteed proper easter eggs :)

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

As Private Eye exposed, Tesco can be very creative in arranging their corporate affairs so that very, very little of their profits go to support the NHS, or anything else in Britain either.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

**** off, PC puritan. Hopefully they'll soon introduce a smugness tax.

Re: Easter Eggs?
 

If they do, Vancouver will be rolling in cash :thumbup:
