5 Things You Can Eat at Easter (Besides Chocolate)
Easter. It's the season where people have chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner, without question. But what if I told you that there are plenty of other foods available to you to enjoy that's not just taking off chunks of your Easter egg at mealtimes?
In this blog post, I'm going to be taking you through some foods you can eat that involves no chocolate whatsoever, which you might be thankful for, haha. From pancakes to lamb roasts to hot cross buns, here's what you can eat at Easter for a nice chocolate switch up.
1. Hot cross buns
These are a typical bakery item that you will find on the supermarket shelves at this time of year, for good reason. They're spiced, doughy, small and delicious, and they can be enjoyed either toasted with a bit of butter or raw as a light afternoon snack with a cup of tea. No matter how you like to enjoy them, hot cross buns are a staple food item at Easter and a nice change from chocolate.
2. Roast lamb
Easter is synonymous with lamb roasts. The symbolism behind it is religious, which is why it's such a common food to eat at Easter, more so than at any other time of year. If you don't normally enjoy a roast lamb dinner, then Easter is the time to do it - a nice savoury change to Easter egg chocolate.
3. Lemon drizzle cake
While it's not a traditional Easter cake, it's a classic favourite for those looking for a light sweet treat that is eaten in spring. The appeal at springtime is that lemon cake is often thought of as being yellow, which is the first thought when you think daffodils, and daffodils are what you think of when you think of spring.
Pastel yellow, blue, pink and green are all colours associated with spring and spring is often synonymous with Easter. Ditch the chocolate eggs and have a slice of lemon drizzle cake if you're looking for a change this Easter.
4. Carrots
Whether eaten in their raw form or cooked up with a roast, carrots are the perfect thing to eat at Easter, mainly, also, because they're synonymous with rabbits, which symbolises Easter in a way that's traditional, but non-religious. It's also a healthy option for those looking to reduce the amount of chocolate you eat.
5. Pancakes
Normally eaten on Shrove Tuesday, pancakes shouldn't just be limited to pancake day. Use up some of those condiments you bought in specially for the occasion and enjoy some freshly-cooked pancakes throughout the Easter period.
