CHOCOLATE, EGGS, EASTER AND...MORE CHOCOLATE: EASTER IN THE UK

For a lot of people in the UK the Christian festival of Easter means the opportunity to eat
chocolate eggs.

A) Modern Easter in the UK  

As soon as 2 January arrives, shops remove the Christmas product lines from their
shelves and the Christmas decorations from their windows. What fills the empty spaces?
Chocolate Easter eggs, Easter bunnies and Easter chicks, despite the fact that Easter
itself doesn't come along until a few months later. This year Easter Day is on Sunday 16
April. Easter also means we have public holidays, Good Friday and Easter Monday, it's
the longest public holiday after Christmas and people sometimes take the opportunity to
take a short break away from work by extending their leave. Cheryl from Liverpool said, ‘I
use the Easter break to visit relatives and socialise with friends, the chocolate giving and
receiving is a good bonus!'

B) What it means 
Easter is a spring festival. In the Christian festival, it celebrates the resurrection of
Christ. In the European pre-Christian tradition, it celebrates the return of nature and
greenery after the cold, snowy winter. Both the Christian and pagan versions of Easter
celebrate life and rebirth. The Easter chick symbolises new life, the rabbit represents
fertility and the egg symbolises both. That is why painted eggs or chocolate eggs are
given as gifts at Easter.

C) Chocolate eggs
Chocolate Easter eggs are sold in larger numbers every year in the UK. Confectionery
companies make chocolate eggs for every type of chocolate bar available throughout the
rest of the year. The British people consume more confectionery than any other country
in the world! That's not even per head; that's per country! Of course, it depends on the
amount of givers, but the average child in the UK receives 6 - 10 large chocolate eggs
and that's not including the small ones.

D) A matter of taste? 

Not only are the British eating more and more chocolate, but they are also demanding
chocolate of better quality. European Union law means that British chocolate-making
companies have to put more cocoa solids in their 'chocolate' than they used to. British
companies that fail to do so are not allowed to say they make 'real' chocolate! New
chocolate has come onto the market that is slowly educating the British palate and
changing consumer patterns.
