Currant Buns

Alathea came home from preschool singing this catchy number song. It must be one of those nursery rhymes that didn't make it to America. At least I don't remember hearing it, and I wager it's fairly old, as a currant bun sure doesn't cost a penny anymore.

After singing about them so nicely, I thought Alathea ought to actually experience a currant bun. I don't think we have a bakery locally, so this was the closest I came across at our supermarket. I think it was more like a raisin bun, but it was fat and round with a cherry on top!
