Yes, I guess for us Aussies it is just the last long weekend before Winter so probably more of a "holiday" weekend rather than a family get-together ... or anything religious.

So apart from the Chocolate Easter Eggs for the kids and Hot Cross Buns (which are already in Woollies and have been for weeks) NOTHING seems to happen .... although some people get married around Easter. Cool

I just wondered whether other OzPol Members had a family tradition about Easter and FOOD. Apparently not. Sad

None of us like hot cross buns much either.

If we were lucky there would be a second lot of rain and there would be field mushrooms. Its all changed now, but if I could I would have a long walk, collect field mushrooms and have a big feed of them at Easter

I thought that perhaps Aussies might do what their European and other ancestors did for Easter. Here is a link of that sort of stuff (in pictures). Sounds like a lot of extra "work" in the Kitchen to me, so I would pass. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinkpicturegalleries/9954658/10-...

As a kid we always had fish on Good Friday but I don't bother nowadays unless we go to my mother in laws who still does a fish dish for Good Friday.
But I must admit I love Easter buns and I've been eating the buns since Xmas. I can't be the only one though or else's the super markets wouldn't bother making them so I expect a lot of people are in denial that they are buying them.

I like red tulip Easter eggs too, the Lindt aren't bad either.
I don't celebrate it though, I'm a confirmed atheist and I have to work Good Friday and Easter Monday this year. Thats my Easter present,I get double time and a half pay.
