I made this today and loved it. I enjoy the combination of sweet and salty. I used applewood bacon and lightly toasted the hot cross bun. (I lined the toaster oven tray with foil to contain the goo).

You know, it may be worth trying. If you ever travel to the USA, the Americans do loads of sweet, savoury flavour combos - maple syrup on bacon, honeyed ham. People thought salted caramel was weird at first, now look at it's prevalence! Not sure I fancy trying it personally, but as hbone63 says dont…

Shame on you Good Food. You must take us for a bunch of half-wits. I can't believe you've offered this up as an Easter recipe.

Hot cross buns are traditional for Good Friday, a day where also abstinence from meat is also traditional. I'm not overly religious but this recipe is thoughtless and in poor taste surely if nothing else!

Surely this must be an April fools joke ! Come on guys .... Seriously I just popped to my local baker and purchased an apple and walnut slice, into the butchers next door and purchased a small minute steak ,,,,,, does this qualify as a groundbreaking " recipe "?

Don't knock it till you tried it, My friend and I tried this for breakfast this morning and it was a great flavour, Yum, have you tried marmite on a digestive biscuit, get those taste buds going.
