I never understood the connection between Easter/Christianity and chocolate eggs/rabbits, no doubt it stems from some bizarre medieval eating dogma (like you can't eat avocado until the third weekend after Lent etc.) or perhaps it was nicked from some pagan fertility ritual or belief. Anyway, not important now, it's one of those little idiosyncrasies that we just shrug and get on with, after all, what's there not to like about chocolate? If the tradition had linked Easter with eating live slugs then I'm not so sure it would have persisted without question for so long, such is the nature of "tradition"..
