Wacky Bingo News
Weird Easter traditions from around the world
It's almost Easter weekend and Britain is stocking up on chocolate eggs and hot cross buns, but elsewhere in the world there are some extremely wacky traditions going on. Here are the first five.
1. The strangest Easter custom takes places in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia, where there is a tradition of spanking or whipping women on Easter Monday. Males throw water at females and spank them with handmade whips made of willow and decorated with ribbons at the end. The spanking is supposed to be symbolic and according to legend, females should be spanked in order to keep their health and beauty during the next year. It doesn’t sound too fun for the women!
2. In Finland, children dress up and go begging in the streets with sooty faces, carrying broomsticks. Sounds a bit like Halloween? In some parts of Western Finland they even burn bonfires on Easter Sunday. But there is no sign of Guy Fawkes. This tradition takes place to ward off witches flying around between Good Friday and Easter Sunday.
3. On Maundy Thursday in Verges, Spain, a traditional “death dance” is performed which involves a parade down the streets of the medieval town. Everyone involved is dressed in costumes and the procession ends with frightening skeletons carrying boxes of ashes. The scary dance begins at midnight and continues for three hours into the early morning.
4. If the man of the house in Poland takes part in preparing the traditional Easter bread, custom has it that his moustache will turn grey and the dough will fail. So the lucky man of the house is banned from helping out.
5. More than 4,500 eggs are used to cook up a giant omelette on the streets of Haux in France. The meal must feed up to 1,000 people and is prepared in the main square in time for lunch.

Hot cross buns, traditionally eaten on Good Friday, are steeped in superstition. Sharing one of these sticky, fruity treats is meant to cement friendships, which is as good an excuse as any to bake a batch. However, baking them from scratch takes precious time away from my bingo play so here is how you can skip corners and still have a great treat.
Hot cross buns with crushed blueberries
Preparation time - less than 30 minutes
Cooking time - less than 10 minutes
Serves 4
Ingredients
2 hot cross buns or brioche
2 eggs
1 tbsp caster sugar
250ml/8¾fl oz milk
Knob of butter
For the Crushed Blueberries
300g/10½oz blueberries or strawberries
3 tbsp sugar
Splash of port or orange juice
To Serve
Honeyed cream, crème fraîche, clotted cream or ice cream
Preparation method
1. Firstly, put the milk and sugar into a bowl and using a whisk, mix in the eggs and leave to one side.
2. Prepare the fruit sauce by mixing together all the ingredients and crushing the fruit lightly to allow the juices to run.
3. Heat the butter in a pan, slice hot crossed buns in half, dip into the eggy mix and cook for about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the buns from the pan and place on the serving plate with the crushed blueberries piled on top. Top with two spoonfuls of cream, crème fraiche or ice cream. Serve immediately.
Good luck! If you have any recipes that you would like to share with us, then why not drop us an email? If your recipe is published in the newsletter, then you will receive $10 bonus in BBz. |
