They belong in the hot cross buns of people who like that.

I have a kid that, from a young age, has enjoyed eating frozen slices of bread. Also frozen peas, corn, bananas, etc.
So I'm gonna have to seek some clarity over what you mean by "cold". Are you referring to room temperature?
Room temp/fridge temp, but with butter low temp enough to be little slabs of hard butter.
Frozen peas is legit.
My partner makes sandwiches of frozen bread and yet mocks me for my cold cross buns. Hmmmm.
Haha well maybe if your hot cross buns were frozen they would be acceptable!
True. Might try to allure them with that.
What even is a hot cross bun? The lines blur every year.
At what point does “brioche with chocolate chips” become a hot crossy?
I’d argue never. It’s not a spiced and fruited bun with a cross. The supermarkets on the other hand will want you to believe it’s a bun with a cross on it sold between December and May.
At this point, it seems the Easter availability time frame is the deciding factor as to whether it's a hot cross bun!
Well, perhaps if it's a bun, has a cross on it, and can be heated up then I guess it has passed the low bar?
Maybe next year we’ll see “hot cross dinner rolls” at countdown.
The way I see it is that they wouldn't be selling them if people were not buying them. They wouldn't have made them if people hadn't asked for them.
The former, certainly, but companies routinely invent things that people haven't asked for (although certainly they will do some level of consumer acceptance testing).
Yea there is always market research done when launching a new product.
Fuck no. No raisns no opinions no cheese. Only chocolate 😋
I prefer a good traditional hot cross bun over chocolate!
I won't turn down a chocolate one though 😳
That's just, like, your onion, man
Who cares. Stop gatekeeping food. As long as it's clearly marked as "cheese and onion", I don't see the issue
Does this belong on a news site? Embarrassing.
Just change the name then. Make it a "hot X bun".
A fruitless hot cross bun is like a sexless marriage - I dont see the point
Cheese and onions in a hot cross bun - that is an Abomination before God
