EASTER is the perfect time to indulge in some traditions – and we don’t just mean gorging on choccy eggs.
There are plenty of other delights – from hot cross buns to slow-roasted lamb – to get your taste buds tingling this Easter weekend.
But what to choose? In an effort to find out The Sun asked the supermarkets to send in their picks for the ultimate Easter feast.
