Happy (belated:P) Easter to all you above the equator. Yesterday I got a plain hollow egg and a slab of Cadbury's.

Thats what I got as well (almost), the big Cadbury's egg with the slab of Cadbury's Caramel

I've not got anything so far and that's fine with me. I stopped asking for easter eggs years ago. Why? Because they'd sit in my cupboard for months until A: I'd finally eat them or B: My younger brother would nab them.

My Mum now gives me just an easter card BUT it's one of those cool B&W film cards. Which I keep.

My Nan is over so she may give me one. One is more than enough for me.

Well I didn't ask for any either

I just got one from my mum and thats fine with me.

But I'm like you chocolate just sits around for ages until I eat it.
I still have a Cadbury's Heroes jar left over from Crimbo!

Happy easter all...

For me, the joy of easter doesnt begin untill tuesday, when all the easter chocolate goes on sale

I had a huge bag of chocolate eggs last year after easter

Although I am really gonna enjoy my day off tomorrow

. Watching DVDs and playing Xbox all day long I hope...

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 27 Mar 2005, 18:00

I want to stock up on cadbury's creme or caramel eggs after Tuesday then

Smarties eggs are also very nice, one of the best sweets ever IMO (normal smarties).

Not a Cadbury's fan myself... I find their chocolate dry (if that makes any sense??)

I prefer Mars (ie. Galaxy, etc).

I also dislike Cadbury. Had it a few times. It's pretty expensive and rare here. My favourite chocolate is the house-brand from a local supermarket. which is a very good thing, since it's only about 70 cents for 200 grams. I also really like nougat/hunny chocolate though...

I like most chocolate but find it to sickly so only want a small amount. Hence I don't want an Easter egg. As it turns out I got one from my Mum. It's quite a fancy one to!

I've not bought people Easter eggs for years. I don't believe in the reason behind it or rather I'm not a believer. If that makes sense? and don't feel the need to buy some chocolate. It just seems dumb to me in the snack infested world we live in.

I like Mars too. Have you had the new Mars Delight bars? Very nice

I don't like those Lindt Excellence things (the round ball shaped ones). The stuff inside is too sickly

"Normal" Lindt bars are very nice though

I think so. Obviously didn't make too much of an impression.

I find Chocolate enjoyable, but too sickly sometimes. I wish they could make it a little less sweet.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 Mar 2005, 14:31

Depends what brands you buy I suppose..

I don't want to have to pay through the nose for Green & Blacks/Lindt chocolate though.

BTW, Like many so called "Christian" festivals, Easter is actually Pagan in origin, then it was called "Eastre"

and it celebrated just the start of spring.

bradavon · Post by **bradavon** » 28 Mar 2005, 16:57

Isn't Paganism (is that a word?) and Christianity very much linked?

Like say Judaism, Christianity and Muslimism are.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 28 Mar 2005, 17:02

I think you might be right Brad.

Didn't Paganism come first though?

Who knows it's all such a long time ago, well before the written word existed that no one really knows. It's all down to who and what you read.

Received belated eggs from my granddad:-
3x Cadbury's caramel marshmellow eggs
6x generic supermarket brand caramel cream eggs

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 29 Mar 2005, 11:16

Cool.

"Caramel Marshmallow" eggs?

I've never had them before, you can get normal Cadbury's Caramel eggs here (Caramel is a Dairy Milk variant for some reason).

Cadbury's Creme Eggs you mean? Damn those are tasty.

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 29 Mar 2005, 12:34

No I mean Cadbury's eggs with a Caramel filling (No Marshmallow). But yes you can get Cadbury's Creme eggs here too - I love those

Yeah, we probably have those. I know we have normal Cadbury's milk chocolate slabs and bars with caramel filling - my favourite kind.

Even though I'm not Cadbury fan, a Creme Egg once in a while can offer sticky satisfaction (oo-er missus!)

grim_tales · Post by **grim_tales** » 30 Mar 2005, 13:36

I heard NZ/Ozzy Cadburys tastes different (nicer and more expensive) from UK Cadburys because the Oz version uses full cream in it or something (instead of powder stuff)
