Bun

– There: what do you think?
– Interesting. What is it?
– What is it? What does it look like?
– It is hard to say. At first sight, it seems a little on the shapeless side. But seeing you've just taken it from the oven, and we've already had dinner, I would hazard a guess that it's a pudding. Of some sort.
– Yes. It's a bread and butter pudding.
– Of course. I've heard of those. They are meant to be nice.
– Although without the bread.
– It sounds less tempting now.
– Only because I replaced the bread with hot cross buns. It seemed somehow appropriate.
– Appropriate?
– It being nearly Easter. I thought it would be a nice touch. Even though they are now somewhat unrecognisable. Also, it saved me adding extra raisins.
– It's always a good idea to be sparing with the raisins. You never know when you might need them for something else.
– Yes. Although mainly it was because I forgot to buy any. But I thought the pudding looked quite – authentic. Considering.
– Yes. Now that I know what it's supposed to be, it looks about right.
– They say the proof of the pudding is in the eating.
– Do they?
