Serious hot cross bun vote: to toast or not to toast?

It doesn’t require a walk into your local supermarket to tell you that Easter is around the corner. It’s the window period when hot cross buns are gracing breakfast tables across the land. With such a ritualistic way of eating around this time of year, it’s not unusual to find that food traditions and the feelings around them are tenacious, to say the least.

Are you a firm believer in the crispy toasting of a hot cross bun before biting into it? Or do you prefer them straight-up?
