With Yuletide beginning in Late October, it was no shock to find Easter Eggs on sale in a supermarket (our Village Shop was closed today). It falls on Sunday April the 9th for those interested.
I couldn't resist getting a pack of mini eggs just to annoy SWMBO.

I know - I saw Cadburys Cream Eggs in a shop today and had to be very firm with myself to resist them! It's a ruthless old business, retail... Christmas is dead, long live Easter - with a side order of St. Valentine's fripperies!

I still have some mini creme eggs that I bought last year!

I find them too sweet and sickly as I don't have a sweet tooth, good job too as I am now a Type 2 Diabetic so cutting down on sweet treat was easy.

I'm classed as pre-diabetic so I really should lay off the sweet stuff too, but I find it very difficult.

You couldnt pay me to eat creme eggs- they are dsigusting in taste and texture. Not unlike sugared emery cloth.

My wife used to work in our local post office, which was inside the Coop. She said that they often had a stock of Easter eggs out the back over the Christmas period.

Same goes for hot-cross-buns, they were once an Easter-only thing.

I used to love cream eggs but the recipe changed several years ago and now I don’t like them at all!

Years ago I bought 12, something to do with a treasure hunt. Never completed it but ate all the eggs quite quickly.

I agree with Pixie Hez.

The chocolate flavour changed from a Dairy Milk flavour to something tasting of a flat Caramac and a bland "dunno what it was" but not chocolate.

It not just the obvious for us T2; I'm T2 diet controlled, its the other carbohydrates which are also a pain: potatoes, rice, pasta, noodles whatever the colour, bread.

it's been said that life seems to pass more quickly as you get older but I think it's more that retailers rush us from one season to the next without a breather!

Yes, Easter eggs were on the shelves in our local Tesco, even before the remaining Christmas stuff was cleared away. It's ridiculous, isn't it?
