I like it Ninn.

Easter is just another normal day.

I wish I could say that I stick to my usual eating routine at Easter but my family get into the easter thing.

If I had my way,I wouldn't bother with it.

The way I see it, Easter, Christmas and so on are mostly days to pig out and that's mainly it.

That’s an interesting point, Matt2584 . I don’t do much for holidays, but my Mom makes a big deal about celebrating certain holidays in my family.😀👍

I chose 'roast' and 'other', 'other' being chocolate.

I'm not so big on Easter these days. Easter, to me, is an excuse pig out on chocolate and that's about it. You can easily pig out any day you want.

Know there is the whole christian side of it as well and in my opinion that is all mythology.

I will allow myself one hot cross bun, otherwise it will be very normal food, mostly vegetarian but with a little treat of a chicken leg at our family picnic and a piece of steak at the BBQ.

Since I'll be at a silent meditation day, whatever vegan food has been brought for the shared lunch plus some of the spelt and rye bread and cashew cheese that I'm making tomorrow to take with me as my contribution. I'll probably just do a stir-fry in the evening when I get home.

New for me this year will be a columba di pasqua cake (essentially dove-shaped panettone) Hot cross buns for breakfast this morning, chocolate in approved shaped on Sunday (ie rabbits, chicks, eggs, generally symbols of Spring and new life, and not Thomas the Tank Engine or unicorns) Possibly a roast dinner or barbecue with family (but we had a lovely and rare pub lunch out together yesterday - battered halloumi and chips with fabulous smashed peas... and I had boiled egg for tea last night)

Right this minute pondering getting something to take away for an evening picnic (might be an M&S sandwich!)

I'd have an Easter biscuit if my Mum still made them (she used cassia oil and anything without just tastes like a biscuit and not special)

I am a big fan of special foods for special occasions. Many years ago, whilst still a student, I made pashka for Easter... so rich my brother didn't eat again for another 36 hours. I do seem to have acquired some mascarpone so maybe...

Lots of vegan/vegetarian replies. Where are the folks who eat lamb? Ham I read a few.

I don't know yet, hope for a BBQ. Depends what the others whom we meet want.

Keep it festive, we remember/celebrate these days for a reason.

If it would help you out, I have some lamb mince in the freezer, and I can always take that out for Sunday ;)

Everyone has their own way of doing the holidays. I have matzo that’s gluten free and gefilte fish for some of the meals during Passover(starts tonight).😀👍

No matter what diet I am on, it's got to be a hot cross bun. Tradition means everything to me. Then an Easter egg of course.....after all its Easter!! Any excuse for chocolate is good enough for me. Not too fussed on dinner though as cooking roast for family. Hope you all have a peaceful Easter. Xxx

Nice, Cooper27. Lamb eaters coming forward! 🐑

I will go and get the lamb chops out of the freezer. ❄️

What are you preparing using the lamb mince?

I will almost certainly have an omelette or scrambled eggs for breakfast, it’s the monthly Stratford walk where I walk with a big group of other greyhound owners and their dogs - need good fuel for breakfast to keep me going!

Later on my son is cooking a roast dinner for the four of us, two meat eaters two non meat eaters. Mine will be veggie sausages and roast veggies with my homemade tomato gravy I’ll do in advance so he only has to heat it up.

Some lovely dark chocolate

I’ll be eating salmon, but that is no different to most other days. I don’t feel tempted by Easter eggs at all at the moment so that is a blessing. I’ve bought some hot cross buns today Good Friday, because that is a tradition from my childhood when today was the ONLY day they were especially made in our local bakery. But I don’t plan to eat one myself, even though lady in the shop told me the fruit in them was one of my five a day. Not! 😊

We shall have our usual porridge and home made organic wholemeal toast and marmalade to go with our boiled egg at breakfast. Our usual Sunday morning breakfast.

Our 7 o'clock meal will be the same as usual at the weekend.
