I do recommend eating hot cross with international students to celebrate Easter. Growing up with hot cross buns I just assume everyone knows what they are and how to eat them. As my new friends from asia started eating these strange bread things- one guy who didn't know the English word for sultana asked
"So are these mummified grapes? "
I don't recommend waking up at 4.30am and starting to think about stressful things!

We're discovering that Americans are also confused. They didn't know that there are raisins and sultanas. They think that all dried grapes are called 'raisins'... (And don't even try to explain currants!)
