On the same theme as Hot cross buns ,can you remember your first cream egg. Mine was 1970.They hadn't hit my backwater but I was given one by a student friend while in the cinema.
I've been hooked ever since.

I can't remember my first one, either, except that it was a long time ago.

It was also my last; I thought it was revolting...

Can't remember my first either.

But I did love them for many years.

They're not quite the same any more. Or maybe my taste buds are dying out.

Jacob Rees Mogg is addicted to them. HIGNFY sent him a huge box of the things to woo him.

I can’t stand them, but when I was a child I would eat them with a teaspoon.

I remember toffee mallow eggs, now they were nice

I'm more concerned that I can't remember my last creme egg and I need to rectify that

Can't remember my first one. We both used to love Cadbury Creme Eggs, ate loads of them for a time. We don't really eat much chocolate (except during lockdown, it seems) but did eat those all through Easter. The taste seemed to change though and we went off them. Haven't had one for years now, and won't be buying them this year.

Macintosh Golden Cup used to be my fave chocolate bar for a while. You could buy quite small ones (that I could hide in my bag so I didn't have to share ?

I remember my first one. It was horrible but in my teens I didn't like sweet foods.
I wish I could say the same now.

No, but I remember my last one. It was just after Cadburys was taken over by an American company and they put palm oil in the chocolate which rendered it inedible.

Can't stand any chocolate with creme filling!

I don’t remember my first, but I have had quite a lot since .

Can’t remember my first one but nowadays I find them too sweet. I prefer the Lindt ones now.

I used to love them but can't bear them since they changed the chocolate from Dairy Milk.

It’s full of palm oil, now isn’t it, Cadbury’s?
I’m not a chocolate person, but that’s what I’ve heard

Sorry, never liked it …..the very look of it had put me off ….

Bodach Mon 21-Feb-22 20:09:57

I have never liked them. They taste sickly sweet to me.

Like them occasionally, I can’t remember my first one, but do remember they used to be bigger. Was put off for a short while, drinking a coffee in Victoria bus station London, on route to Scotland, the chap opposite me bit off the top of his cream egg, then spooned the middle into his cuppa. Yuk.

I dislike them too. Yuk
