There's was loads of foods at Easter (most was fish) but tradition is lost now.
When I was kid we had a simnel cake at Easter. Similar to a Christmas cake, it was covered in marzipan, then toasted, and eaten during the Easter period in Great Britain, Ireland and some other countries. My mum used to bake a layer of marzipan into the middle of the cake and on the top of the cake and around the edge She would put eleven marzipan balls to represent the true disciples of Jesus; Judas she told me was always omitted. Problem was it tasted so awful (none of us liked marzipan) it never continued.
Here's the recipe

How could we forget Hot Cross Buns..
Hot Cross Buns are traditionally eaten hot or toasted on Good Friday, with the cross standing as a symbol of The Crucifixion. They are believed by some to pre-date Christianity, although the first recorded use of the term "hot cross bun" was not until 1733;it is believed that buns marked with a cross were eaten by Saxons in honour of the goddess Eostre (the cross is thought to have symbolised the four quarters of the moon); "Eostre" is probably the origin of the name "Easter". Others claim that the Greeks marked cakes with a cross, much earlier. In the UK we get through millions. I have a feeling in Australia they have theirs with chocolate inside.

As soon as we had hot crossed buns my kids knew spring was coming!! So they were a celebration food. I always cooked a big traditional maple smoked ham dinner for Easter and always made Lemon Merangue pie for dessert!

I'd really be interested in finding out about traditional dishes served, to sort of get my creative side thinking about something different I could serve my family this year, so feedback and info is interesting.
In US, or rather my family, we celebrate by doing an Easter egg hunt with my youngest, my nephew and a few younger cousins, and friends little kids.
As far as food goes, my Mom is more traditional and we have a roasted lamb and a honey/maple/brown sugar cured ham, mashed potatoes, corn bread, macaroni and cheese, green bean casserole, deviled eggs, potato salad (mustard for my Mom and I make the traditional German potato salad with bacon), corn on the cob, and a few other dishes.
This year, I'm in charge of desserts, so I'm making a lemon meringue pie, coconut cake and tiramisu..and cheesecake!
Just interested in finding out about different cultures, foods and celebrations, thank you in advance for sharing! and
Happy Easter!
