Easter eggs: what would Jesus eat?

The Meaningful Chocolate Company, a company “passionate about ethical trading and faith”, has produced the eggs for three years

It feels like the Anglican Church has given up railing against the lost meaning of Easter eggs – it’s sponsored its own.

The Meaningful Chocolate Company, a company “passionate about ethical trading and faith”, has produced the eggs for three years, but after a lobbying campaign by the bishops, they go on sale for the first time in Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and Tesco this Wednesday.

Looks-wise, Real Easter eggs (£3.99) are discreet in their faith – just three tiny crosses on the front hint at their faith. Inside is a small leaflet about Easter. The flavour? I have tasted Easter egg righteousness and can confirm it tastes rather like the less-righteous Cadbury’s version.
