No Halloween is complete without tasty Halloween recipes.
In Ireland, Halloween was once a day of abstinence when no meat was eaten. Dishes based on potatoes were eaten, such as colcannon (mash with milk or cream, kale, and leeks or spring onions), champ (mash with milk and onions or chives) and boxty pancakes - fried potato cakes that are sometimes served savoury, sometimes sprinkled with sugar.
Other dishes include potato farls baked on a griddle; apple and potato ‘fadge’ - upside-down cake made by layering apples and potatoes inside pastry; and barm brack, a spiced bread made with dried fruit.
In England there was a tradition of eating ’soul cakes’ - flat round or oval cakes flavoured with saffron, mixed spices, and currants - as well as apple tarts. Many of these Irish and English dishes contained coins, rings and other items with symbolic meanings. They were left out for wandering spirits and fairies overnight.
