But during the Lenten season, when it’s officially called Easter bun, it gets a fruity face lift, enhanced with added raisins and red cherries.
“Giving and sharing bun during Easter honors the religious aspect of the season,” Mr. Fowles said.
Golden Krust Caribbean Bakery, a family-run, fast-casual chain with more than 100 outposts in the United States, first started making and selling bun in 1949 as Hawthorne & Sons Bakery in St. Andrew Parish, Jamaica.
“During Easter, the culture really calls for it,” he said.
As is the case with many foods, bun’s origins aren’t tidily pinned to a specific point in Jamaica’s history.
