Combining Special Days

This year in Australia with the rare coincidence of Easter with our ANZAC day commemoration of sacrifices in war, it seems appropriate that we combine the two events. For the current generations, Easter is primarily regarded as a time to eat Hot Cross Buns and chocolate eggs. And ANZAC day is the traditional time of year to eat ANZAC biscuits. And so I reckon that it would a fitting tribute to both events to combine these foodstuffs to make a Hot Cross ANZAC egg. This would consist of a chocolate egg encasing a hot cross bun, and inside the bun would be an ANZAC biscuit. I'm still contemplating technically how it could be constructed, but once I do, I will publish it on wikipedia for all to use.

And then, once every 20 years when the two events coincide, we will be treated to this special concoction, and we'll never forget.
